December 2010 Release Notes
Greetings and welcome to the December 2010 Release Notes. With a shortened development cycle this month, the team has focused on addressing many of the issues that arose during our November update. We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of our players for making this another great year for Asheron’s Call! Without our incredible players, none of us would have the privilege of working on this incredible game. Thank you all very much, have a great Holiday season and see you all in the New Year with the January update!

Developer Comments
Changing Gender
Q: [General] Veneficus says, "NoWorries, with the changes added to AC to change our appearance, will Turbine ever allow us to change sex of our characters?"
A: [General] +Turbine Noworries says, "There was discussions about that when we were creating the system Veneficus. At this time there are no plans to allow a character to change sex or race."
