Hi there everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. Some of here in the Boston area got to see the sun for the first time is quite a while, which made for a nice weekend.

First I would like to announce that Asheron’s Call: Throne of Destiny is now available for Digital Distribution from our Turbine store as well as Direct2Drive. You can also still purchase the physical box of the game from our store for the lowered price of $19.95. This is yet another step in making sure that everyone who wants to purchase the game, can do so with ease.

You can purchase the digital version the game <a href="http://store.turbine.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Locale=en_US&id=ProductDetailsPage&SiteID=turbine&productID=42828800&Env=BASE" target="_blank">here.</a>
You can purchase the full game including the box, manual, and disk <a href="http://store.turbine.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Locale=en_US&id=ProductDetailsPage&SiteID=turbine&productID=36341200&Env=BASE" target="_blank">here.</a>

We would also like to take this opportunity to update to you on the upcoming schedule of downtimes. We had initially scheduled a window of 8am EST – 6pm EST for the June event update. This time has now been revised to 8am EST – 4pm EST. During this time we will not be doing the previously scheduled hardware upgrades to the game worlds. We will instead be doing these upgrades on the following week. On Wednesday June 21, the world will be down from 10am EST – 2pm EST for the hardware upgrades. We decided to do the downtime separately so that if there is an issue, it will not affect the June event. We all feel this is the best way to make sure that things go as smooth as they can during this process.

Now on to what else is going on in that land of Asheron’s Call this week. As an additional bonus to this months Letter to the Players, we have released a teaser trailer for the June event. You can find the June Letter to the Players <a href="http://ac.turbine.com/?page_id=466" target="_blank">here</a>, along with the Event fiction.

You can view the teaser movie by clicking <a href="http://download.turbine.com/ac1/video/ac1_june_Movie_small.wmv" target="_blank">here!</a>

Well that’s about it for this week. Have a great week and see you all in Dereth!
