Wiki quest name updates
In order to bring our quest guides in line with Turbine's names released to us via contracts, we are renaming all quests (and associated links) that do not meet these names with exception to kill tasks. Do not fret, all old names will still be searchable, and redirect to the proper page. See the list of renamed quest guides here to get familiar with them.

Quest Updates for August! - Link
We are looking for player feedback for the big August update!

One of the aspects to August we want to do is spend some time revamping older content to make it more fun. We receive a lot of small quest improvement requests, so we want players to suggest three quest improvements to older quests that they would like to see implemented for the August update.

Leaderboard: Asheron's Call vs. Ultima Online vs. EverQuest - Link
Make sure you head on over to Leaderboard and vote for AC.
Back at the turn of the century, you didn't have the equivalent of cable's infinite choices when it came to MMOs. No, you pretty much had the standard Big Three of network programming: Ultima Online, EverQuest, and Asheron's Call. With the subscription model firmly in place, most players had to choose their loyalty and choose it well.

The Lugians are Coming! - Link
Kintani: I’ve been working on the Lugian player race, which has proven to be an interesting challenge as this is the first player race where I’ve had to make new versions of all of the clothing and armor in game. I’m working to preserve the look of the armors, even though the Lugians have a much larger frame, so the looks people have come to know and love transition over onto the Lugians in the ways they’d expect.
