Asherons Call: Asheron's Call Billing Migration: Important Update from Turbine

ASHERON'S CALL BILLING MIGRATION: IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM TURBINE

Turbine Entertainment Software is ready to begin transferring Asheron's Call (AC) community members' accounts to the publisher's newly launched billing service. Ultimately, every one of the thousands of Asheron's Call players will need to transfer their information, which includes account and character information, from Microsoft's Zone to Turbine's new system.

To complete the seamless migration of billing information, AC members will receive a pop up message when they launch the long-running MMORPG, prompting them to transfer their account from Microsoft's Zone to Turbine's billing system. Once they are in the process players will be asked to re-enter billing information to keep their accounts active. Start to finish, the entire process should take players less than 10 minutes. Members who bypass the initial pop up window request will eventually be required to migrate their account - meaning they will not be able to log into the game unless they complete the process.

The Asheron's Call community is Turbine's first live service community to transfer their information away from Microsoft. The Asheron's Call 2 community will start the same process just after the New Year. As a convenience to players Turbine expects to maintain existing billing dates, so users should see no changes to their subscription schedule or monthly fees.

The billing account transfer is the final step in Turbine's acquisition of the AC franchise from Microsoft, a process that began in early 2004.
