Great game hampered by technical problems

AC is addictive and a blast to play, but the constant server outages, technical problems and bugs that are introduced with each update, and the lag really hampers my enthusiasm. You would think with all the years the game has been in development, and the beta testing process, they would've been able to sort the problems out. I wish Turbine and MS would concentrate on fixing the problems with the game instead of new content every month.

This is the best game I have ever played. It never gets old, because it changes every month. I highly recommend this game.

Yes, Asheron's Call is the best of all on-line RPGs, but that's like saying I'd rather have my toes chopped off than lose a leg. You never get a chance to love the great features in this game because of all the snafus. Servers constantly go up and down, even with good DSL service it became hard to hold a connection, be prepared to reconfigure your computer to get the thing to work, and most of all LAGS, LAGS, LAGS!!!!!! In the towns you can walk two steps, lag for 5 secs, walk 2 more, wait another 5 secs, etc. It all gets to be particularly irritating when these glitches appear during combat. Whoops, you're dead! Whoops, where am I? Maybe in 5 years the technology will have advanced to the point that all of this will work. But for now online RPGs are simply an exercise in frustration.

Great RPG

Theese are a few reasons I love this game; Dynamic and changing world half the size of Rhode Island!---- Play online with (talk,hunt,trade,etc)together with atleast 1000 to 3000 players in this world.---- Many different and great weapons that you learn about and can buy when you get more $$$$---- Tons of different Monsters (high and low levels)----More,if i had the time I would tell you---- JUST A VERY COOL GAME

Okay, here it is in a nutshell. The graphics bite, and bite HARD. The spell component system is so difficult that playing hack and slash by default is much more preferable. And there is little if any help by the GMs. My two cents. Buy at your own risk.

While the game is enjoyable as an adult... it has one serious problem for anyone easily offended or thinking about buying it for their kids. Microsoft (who controls policy for game play) will not take any action on anything said via a private message to you from any player. It may be death treaths, it may be racist hate speech, it may simply be harrassing messages of a violent sexual nature. "Nothing" will be done to players sending these messages... it is their policy that anything sent via private messages is just that... private. That being the case, I highly recommend choosing another game if you are easily offended or plan on letting your children watch and/or play. The game is advertised as for ages 13+, however... due to the violent and graphic in nature messages you will recieve, the true age group is likely 21+. I enjoy playing, but have quickly filled up my allowable list of players I can "squelch" so I won't have to listen to the profanity, threats, and general harrassment.

Asheron's Call is addictive but getting boring.

I have played this game for about one year. I gave it five stars because the game is incredible. I am ready for a new version of the game. I have many characters that are high level and they pretty much do the same routines for leveling. The game is great for a nOOb but for an old timer it gets routine.

I hope that the AC team soon learns that NEW ideas need to be infused into the game. With the coming of the expension I hope that the new ideas make the game as magical as it was when I first started playing.

asherons call is the best game out there right now, it takes the fighting style of zelda, the leveling and equipping of the final fantasys and creative monsters to cover the globe, thats just some of it, you can interact and have buddy lists like AOL instant messanger, you can belong to clans and go to their meetings, you can also entirely customize your charachter to look like yourself or whatever you want to look like, also the monthly updates and patches that change with the seasons make it extreemly hard to tear yourself away, i gave it a 5!!
