Summary: Great game, fast paced and a lot of fun. Great graphics!
Review: I got to be part of the beta test for Asherons Call and I loved the game. The graphics are really good and the interface is very simply and easy to learn. There is no problems with pk's and the lag in minimal for such a vast online game. A must buy for anyone interested in an online rpg.

Review: I'm warning you right now. If you buy this game you are likely to not get very much sleep for a very long time. So if you go to school or go to work this might not be the game for you. The world is huge to say the least and will take you many hours to simply traverse from one side to another. Luckily, there are warp portals that connect many of the major cities. The graphics are amazing even on a slow pc but to fully enjoy you need a powerhouse with a modem faster than 56k. You can enjoy it on a 56k but I'm warning you that the lag can be annoying sometimes. But Microsoft has many resources (or maybe not after the anti-trust case) and should be able to supply many reliable servers so lag problems should be resolved fairly soon. If you are a fan of any RPG then this game is the game that you have been waiting for!

Summary: Don't let this game pass you by!
Review: Asheron's Call is a very immersive, addictive game. Its beautiful 3D terrains are captivating to say the least. Characters are unique in appearance and ability. There are no set "classes", you make your character and improve it however you wish. There is no player killing for those that do not want to harrassed, yet they have a server set aside for those that do. The three human races and many monsters are unique, and do not follow the traditional fantasy standard, but instead it is a refreshing creative world. There is a political system like a pyramid. A monarch is at the top who has vassals under him. He is their patron and generally looks after them with help, gifts, etc. while his vassals generate extra experience for their patron at no extra charge to the vassal. These vassals may in turn have vassals under them, and that's where AC gets interesting. If all this sounds confusing, or you prefer to play solo, AC makes it easy to do. You can team up with other real players, or you can go off by yourself. The world of Dereth is huge! It is detailed in real-space 3D with a 26x26 mile map! Whether you are a solo adventurer, or are looking to conquer the world and vie for power in a virtual world with real people, Asheron's Call is for you. *infomercial fades out, money exchanges hands* :-) Halken the Bold, Harvestgain server

Summary: Strong new entry in the Massive-Multiplayer-Online genre
Review: Asheron's Call, like Everquest and Ultima Online, allows huge numbers of players to adventure together in a fantasy role-playing setting. It features good to great graphics and a HUGE world that you can explore and play around in with your friends. I've played this, EQ, and UO, and Asheron's Call is my favorite!

Summary: Put away UO and EQ, we have a new CHAMPION!
Review: I played both Ultima and Everquest since the first days of their release. Asheron's Call takes things to the next level. One cannot underestimate the immersive element created by the fact that there are NO zones, just one huge world of rolling hills and gorgeous vistas. In addition, the rich backstory actually makes it more than a hunt for monsters. Most importantly, the game is EXTREMELY FUN!

Summary: A riveting, exiting, and adrenaline puming RPG
Review: This game is very unique. You will get hooked. The developers at turbine have made the game so that it is not always the same thing over and over again. They change the game as you play. For example, if i started the game a month ago i would have things that a person that just started will never be able to get. The enemy is always changing, evolving, and getting smarter to keep up the pace of the game. Overall i think that this is a wonderful game and that it will be a top seller. If you can afford it buy this game i would recomend getting it. P.S. its worth it

Review: Still alive and well, AC has some life in it. I've played since release and love it more today than I did then. Sure theres a monthly fee, but the game gets new monsters, quests, items, game systems, etc. EVERY month. For many there is no need for another game to play! So that a flat rate there, $ for all your computer gaming for a year! Tis an incredible deal. The above reviews are very old, cheaters have been removed. Wonderful third party applications have been added that enhances the game, allowing one to chat on IRC while in-game, control Winamp while in-game, etc. These fall under the plug-in Platform "Decal", found on Sourceforge. Balance has returned to Asheron's Call, some will always do better at some monsters than others, its the advantages of that class. But thats just it! These days if ya don't like how you've done your char, you can make some adjustments via new quests. The skill system of Asheron's Call is of untold beauty and far out does any other game in existence, especially Ever Quest or Asheron's Call 2. AC is a very social game, allegiances take care of their own and will help many a newbie. However, one can survive very well as a soloer, I am kinda a mixture of both. Theres puzzles, tons of quests, PKing (by choice), Trading (an unimaginably dynamic economy), and so soo much more...

Summary: HORRIBLE GAME WASTE OF MONEY
Review: After playing Asheron's Call for almost 18 months, I was left with a sick feeling in my stomach. For lovers of the fantasy genre, this game had much promise from the it's beginning, but quickly decayed into an empty shell created by poor game design. Quests are horrible, and quests items are merely shiny toys to show off. They, for the most part, serve no purpose and are useless. Character classes are a complete joke. At the point of character creation you are given a great number of choices and variables, but after 2 months of play you quickly realize that almost all character skills are useless. Only 2 character classes are viable: Mages and Warrior-Mage hybrids that MUST have Life magic. The world in vast, but unused. Monsters are dull, and for the most part the designers take one monster and 'skin' it 10 different ways, and call them new monsters. Player vs. player is a joke (once again you must be 100% magic heavy). Archery is a joke after 2 months of play. Lockpicking is useless. Alchemy is useless....on and on. A good concept, but horrid design. Kill, kill, kill, level, kill, kill, kill, level. A bad first person shooter. If you pick up this game and love fantasy, you will be hooked for 2 months, until you begin to realize that all the fantasy/lore/quests elements mean nothing. To play the game after that you must kill the same monsters sometimes 5000-10000 times to become strong enough to kill the next monster. Them you kill it 10000 times to become strong enough to kill the next monster. Get the picture? One other point to touch on is the lack of punishment for cheaters and exploiters...there is none. At various times the servers have gone through periods in which they would crash very frequently due to players exploiting the game (and 'duping' items). Also, the monthly updated code always causes long periods of game outages. Bad game play. Poor design. Bad code. A first person shooter in the disguise of a fantasy game.
