Level 180
tokens are out for the Open Preview!

Were you devastated by
the announcement that the Rhode Island Turbine Nation had been cancelled
for August and will be replaced by a CA AC event sometime this fall? The
Lord of the Rings Community is hosting its own player run event anyway, and
has invited any at-loose-ends AC players to attend. Paraduck is corralling
the AC folks
here! When we have the new dates for the CA event, I'll let you know.
(Hint, Callandryll!!)
Update: Level 140 Tokens are
now available from the Turbine Vendors in the Open Preview! (Typo fixed!)

Ibn has
announced that level 100 tokens are now available in the Throne of
Destiny Preview. A dev-led quest will also occur at 6PM Pacific time!
The latest Weekly Status Update is also
available
here!
Thanks to everyone sending info for the Patch
page! It won't go live until the 18th, but I'm working on getting it
organized! As always, please send full stats panels, and include your
in-game name and server! Also, since the new screenshots are already in .JPG
format, there's no need to compress them further. Just send them as they
are! (Look in MyDocuments/Asheron's Call for their new home.)

Several reports of live attacks came in while
I was out of town this past weekend. I've finally had a chance to put them
up on the Infiltration June Events page
here!
The reports are slow coming
in from the Open Preview (if you're like me, you can't even get out of the
town because of the lag! Stupid dial-up!!), but the
first rare
has already been discovered by Vitae Boy! Congrats! If there are any
researchers out there who'd like to help get the ToD info for the site ready
for launch on July 18th, please send
me an email!

Update from Ibn: "In order to address an issue
with our billing system, it is necessary to bring the authentications
servers down at 5:45PM PDT / 8:45PM EDT / 12:45AM UTC for approximately 1
hour.
During this time players will not be able to log in to AC1,AC:TD Open
Preview, or AC2. Players who are currently logged in should be able to
remain logged in."
If you've made it in and have
some good screenshots to share, send them in or post them
here!

File bugs
here!
Screenshots work a little differently in AC:TD! A new screenshot folder will
be placed into your My Documents named Asheron's Call. Screenshots are
already in .jpg format! Simply send them to
Maggie@thejackcat.com, or feel
free to post your discoveries on the Destiny Forum
here!

Yes, I've been out of town *again*, but before
I left, I visited the Halaetan Isles during the Press Preview round of the
upcoming expansion. Here's a
few pics
to whet your appetite until tomorrow, when everyone has a chance to STFU or
go Blue! (See the
AC: Throne
of Destiny Open Preview and
Preview
FAQ for more information.)
Make sure you also visit the
Throne of Destiny articles page for a link to Paraduck of ACVault's
Preview. It includes even more details and some fab movies!
I know everyone is eager to
scour the land for new information and to submit their findings! To that
end, I've created a
Destiny Server Forum here! Please read
this post
for information on how you can help contribute!
More coming soon!

What can I say? I'm a slacker. Terrible, terrible. It's summer,
after all. But! I've started poking through some of the submissions that
came in recently and have posted a few more live events! Read about the
ferocious Margul, Al'Cani, in the
May events and read about some attacks on Eastham and Cragstone in the
June
events! If you participated in a live event, don't forget to
send in a report!

I get back from vacation, then get sick! I
blame air travel. ;-) Sorry for the lack of updates! If you missed it, Ibn
posted another status update on the 2nd. You can find it
here. An announcement about lag and the Mausoleums on DT can be found
here. Um... more coming soon!! Uh, really! I swear!
