Asherons Call: All Worlds Back Up, But...

Frelorn has posted this update regarding today's server downtime:

[i]As of 7:35 pm EST all worlds are back up. However, we have changed the IP address of where our authentication server lives. For Most ISPs this change will take effect quickly. For some smaller ISPs this change may take up to 24-48 hours to be reflected. During this time, players whose ISP have not picked up the DNS change, will not be able to login. They will receive a message that the authentication server is unavailable.

We have no control over when your ISP picks up the DNS change.

[/i]
However, TheKnight has posted these instructions for getting back in-game:

[i]Click On Start
Click On My Computer
Double Click On C: Drive
Double Click On Program Files Folder
Double Click On Turbine Folder
Double Click On Asheron's Call Throne Of Destiny Folder
Find the file called launcher and double click it.
Look for the line called:
serveraddress=gls.ac1.turbine.com
Change it to:
serveraddress=206.16.13.58 gls.ac1.turbine.com

Save the file and start the launcher up again.

[/i]
This file change should only be temporary, though, and changed back to the original settings after a few days.
