Asheron's Call Back After Extended Downtime

Turbine announced today via Facebook that Asheron's Call is back online, having survived its move to a new data center. Longtime players can rest easy knowing that their home for over a decade isn't going anywhere. The game was previously offline for two weeks following a projection of "a few days" for the full process. "Additional engineering work" ended up being necessary and it took longer than expected. Players were rightfully worried that they would simply take the game offline permanently, as it has happened with other companies in the past. Fortunately, this time, it was not the case.

Now just to see if player-hosted servers will ever come to fruition.
