Turbine let us know about some scheduled downtime for Asheron's Call coming up:

Maggie the Jackcat let us know:
I'm saddened to let you know that my vassal, Ned Cleversun, passed away on Tuesday (Sep 2). He was the finest vassal on Dereth. A good companion and dear, dear friend. I will miss him terribly.
We will all miss him. A thread has been started on the official forums to offer condolences.
When Asheron's Call launched in November of 1999, the development team at Turbine had an ambitious plan in mind: every month, they would update the game, not just to add content but to further the game's story. With the game's ninth anniversary right around the corner, the AC team has hit another huge milestone: August's update is the game's 100th.
I sat down with Producer Dave Javier and Community Manager Andy Cataldo to chat about the evolving world of Dereth and both their favorite memories from the path as well as what they were looking forward to in the future of Asheron's Call.
Turbine released a boatload of images related to their 100th update of Asheron's Call, including this one:

Turbine released another sneak peek at their 100th update for Asheron's Call:
Frelorn also let slip these little tidbits:
The Society system is still going in. The new tier of loot is still going in. The level 8 spells are still going in. New armors and armor sets are still going in. Oh and did I mention Faction based PvP town control, in two new areas? That little bit may have slipped my mind... and a new Island? Did I forget that one too?
The update is tentatively scheduled to go live August 26th.
Turbine gave us a sneak peak at something related to the upcoming 100th update to Asheron's Call today. Take a gander!
