The Zaikhal Defender quest has been activated! If you're lucky enough to get a global or have pics of the lower level bosses and creatures, send them in and I'll add them to the Throne of Destiny patch page!

July 27, 2005
Several more rares were added to the Rares section! Thanks to everyone continuing to send in pics I'm missing! The Snow Lily quest was also updated with level restriction information and the Chasing Oswald - ToD Skill Credit quest was updated with more accurate details on the final dungeon!

July 21, 2005
I've added more updates to the Throne of Destiny patch page and to the Rares section! Thanks to everyone sending in their new finds! I know some of the fun of discovery may have been taken out of the expansion by the open preview, but if you want to help update the site, there's always lots more to do! Creature photographers are always welcome. There are a many more that were updated then I was able to get to. And I'm sure there's more just waiting to be found!

If you can't find your screenshots, the new location is My Documents/ Asheron's Call

The Rares section is now up on the patch page!

Update: Please note the Known Issues thread on the Turbine Forums here.

July 18, 2005
Update: Servers are up! Throne of Destiny is live!

Note: All players will need to obtain the graphics upgrade. Please see this article for details!

Turbine is also requesting pics of rares for their Gallery of Rares. And don't forget to send a copy to Maggie@thejackcat.com as well!

The Throne of Destiny patch page is now live! You'll find information on new locations, creatures, quests, armor, clothing and more! Most quests are already available with full write-ups, and the last few should be polished up sometime later today (or tomorrow, depending how busy the office is ;-)!

In addition, the new portals have already been entered into the database so Arboc's navigation feature is fully functional! Arboc also set up flagging for all new locations in the Tourism section! You can easily find the new locations by the ==NEW== tag next to each entry!

Thanks to everyone who helped gather information during the Preview! And special thanks to Alunor and Arboc for all their help!!

As always, if you find information I'm missing, please send me an email! And snap a pic of any rares you find right away, in case you end up dead out in the Shattered Outlands!

See you on the Halaetan Isles!

Tomorrow is the big day! The Throne of Destiny expansion is being released! I'm hard at work getting things ready, so look for numerous site updates tomorrow!

July 13, 2005
Turbine has made the AC Graphics Upgrade available for pre-download! Prepare yourself for Monday, the 18th when Throne of Destiny goes live! You can read more on the download page here!

July 11, 2005
Destiny will be up for one more day! And there's fun scheduled for tonight! See this post for complete details!

In addition, the latest status update from Ibn can be found here!

July 8, 2005
Ibn has announced that they're extending the Preview through the weekend. Yay!! Keys will be unavailable after today, however, so get yours now! Ibn will also be leading another server wide quest tonight at 6PM Pacific.

If any enterprising folks are up to helping gather data the site, I've posted a small is of info I'm still looking for here.

I hope everyone had a happy 4th! It looks like today is patch day for the Throne of Destiny Preview. If you haven't been able to play, you might try and log on after the server is back up to see if the patch improves your situation. I've been having a great time exploring the new islands! There's only a few days left, so if you want to experience the preview, grab your chance now!

July 1, 2005
Another Dev run quest for the Open Preview Destiny Server has been announced for tonight! Read more here!
