Honestly people if you want to just goof around online go ahead and buy AC. When your ready to play a real online game it's prolly time to move on to Everquest. EQ offers a huge world with tons of characters and classes. Stop trying to invest your points in melee with a weenie human. Get a troll and bash some heads! EQ doesn't limit it's people to a linear world with no real flair. Experience the real thing buy EQ today simply search for Everquest on the above toolbar and buy your copy today!

Friends don't let friends play Asherons Call!

I played this for awhile because a friend had it but it was really boring. There were some good moments but it was mostly extremely tedious and worthless. Worst game I have bought it awhile and to think I actually payed monthly for it. I will not waste my money on another MMORPG again. BAH!

This game couldn't possibly stink more...

Unstable...is the bottom line. I think I lost track of the number of patches I have had to install. The graphics are nice, the gameplay is poor, and the lag is friggin terrible. Funcom is losing more and more customers each day from this game. I got caught expecting the best and signed on for a 6 month mistake. Don't do the same. Wait for a game that actually tests their software and executes successful betas before they release. This CD now serves as my drink coaster to remind me of my mistake

Confused

I've confused. I'm not reviewing the game, I'm asking a question that I think some new buyers of this game would also like to ask. One of the people who reviewed this game noted that there was a $9.95 monthly cost for playing this game after the first month which you get free. So what you are saying is, thats $120 a year, plus the cost of the game??? I don't understand...I thought you could buy and play. Mind clearing this up for all of us? Thanks.

I ordered this game way back in august 2001 and sure enough Amazom had it delivered to me on the day of the release great Job Amazon!. Once installed I easily upgraded my Asheron's Call account (Now got extra copy for my second account)
Great new land mass to explore and some other good extras and if you like Asheron's Call your gunna love this add on :) I know I do already
If you have not played Asheron's Call and are thinking about it, well its a great highly addictive game BUT the major problem is you have to get used to Turbines way of thinking. For example they make it sound so easy to get hold of your own housing on all the packaging and in any advertisments.... The bottom line is with the housing, you probably wont get it unless your very lucky. They have designed the most underhand, backward and confrontational way of trying to get your own home so if you can stay online and ingame for 24/7 you might be lucky to get a house if not you wont :( . If your not worried about housing go get it it GREAT but if you do require housing be ready for a long wait and you may be dissapointed in the end. So If its a house you want dont bother it suxors.. POOR SHOW TURBINE VERY POOR SHOW INDEED ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THE EXPECTATIONS YOU HAD US BELIEVE (...)

Not as anticipated as EQ: SoL

MACROS, Cheats AND EXPLOITS...Welcome to Asheron's Cheat

This game was great a year into it's release date but playing the game these days you'll be lucky to run into any real people playing the game. You see most of the characters you run into the game now are BOTS. What this means is you're basically paying a $10 monthly fee to play online but play a single player game.

This is currently the only online Single player game out there because of the unwillingness of microsoft to take any action against the exploiters, bot owners and cheaters. So what you have is an all out hack fest to see who can create the best artificial intelligence.

If you like bots, exploits, cheats and hacks you'll love Asheron's Cheat.

Heed the cheat today!

Remember the drawbacks

Try to remember if you want to buy this that microsoft customer service is laughable. You can be prevented from playing (server down time) every time you have the chance to play, but they will not even consider a refund. they really dont care about you, because they know that you want to play the game.
Regrettably, asherons call (albeit fun) is still just a hack and slash game, where the ability to create a simulated life and adventure is lacking. Those who write rave reviews are noy lying about the addictive qualities, but just remember there are many drawbacks. In a year, ego should be coming out on the x-box. thsi game offers the first chance for true role-playing fanatics to have their cake and eat it too. Good luck.

Little framework....just running around killing things

I got Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty two days ago and am still running around confused(after many hours of gameplay). When I sit down at a game, I like to have some idea of what the game is about. The new player training is great: it's structured, you aren't just running around killing things, and you know what to do.

However, when you get into the game, except for a few quests all this goes away and you are left to "level-up" your character by mindlessly running around killing things. This is boring.

Diablo II, has an excellent storyline, structure, and actually makes you feel like what you're doing is for a reason or some goal; rather than killing just to get your character level up.
