Does anyone else think Blizzard's "Cataclysm" for World of Warcraft expansion looks a lot like this awesome original idea of Turbine's, embellished with greater funding?
@buffingtonr The idea is similar to that of Asheron's Call 2, but it wasn't an original idea. For about as long as fantasy literature has be written, authors have written about cataclysmic events that shake the very worlds they create. A lot of things in fantasy literature, and games, are taken from real life and embellished. That's the imagination at work. That isn't to say that someone at Blizzard might have been inspired from AC2, another game or even a book.
I think I remember this video from way back. Unfortunately, I started playing AFTER all the Bael'Zharon stuff. Wish I remembered my old account that had the Martine mask on it. That event was awesome, going in and destroying the diamond crystal thingy. I think I got a shield out of it, but that was a long, long time ago.
truely miss this game, me and my friends all quit last year when they nerfed a quest. we were gaining 500,000 XP / hour.... got to level 170 in a couple weeks
Nov 2nd on thistledown, Bael'Zharon and his shadows came down to vist us in arwic but we killed him and his army and it rained hero tokens. Same day in holtburg Gearln's assistant Martine (or whatever) came and killed many people after it was over asheron came and walked around....
I so miss this game. I never got to uber high lvls but i had fun anyway. Best memories were of me and about 10 friends getting our asses handed to us by Giggas in the lugian citidels in our mid lvl 20s. It was a blood bath
AC needs private servers, or make it free to play, I'd love to start it up again but 13 or 15 Dollars is way too much for it... damn AC is the best MMO I'll ever play
13-15 way too much? You would spend that going out to see 1 movie. Not including gas to get you there. I personally do not have alot of money and i think I pay something like $14.95 a month for countless hours of entertainment. One of the best deals imo.
Bah, Bael'Zharon was fun to watch be Gaerlan was worse. F***er sniped me my patron and my monarch off the top of the building you turn Olthoi claws into on Marae Lassal(sp).
Does anyone know if there is ANY way to get this song (Excalibur)? I have looked everywhere, it would seem the only way to get it is to work for a producing company...
On an unrelated note, AC is the only MMO that as far as I have seen receives nothing but positive feedback from those who played it in its prime. Also, no cthulu that's not bad at all... nothing wrong with remembering something that more than earned its place in your memory.
hah, I too played when I was 9 and I'm 17 now too. I can't stop thinking about it either, in fact I've been wondering if Asheron's Call 3 will ever make it to existence, Nice name btw I'm a fan of the lovecraft
lol Fuckin, classic, the good old days of AC, wish they'd just do something to "update" the graphics and you could still play the same servers, that wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
I got killed by him! Goood tiiiimes.

500k an hour is what i made at lvl 42 killing drudges.
500,000,000 an hour is probably what you ment. In PotB you can make 1,000,000,000 an hour in the right fellow.

True, we forced the developers to cheat by making a player invuln and buff them to hell in order to break the Shard.
I say we, because our monarchy was there.
