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!!

AC: The greatest game I've ever played

AC is, by far, the greatest game I've ever played. When I bought it in November, 1999 it was just as a time filler until Diablo II or Baldurs Gate II came out.

They came out and I bought and began playing them. Turned out AC was much better than either. I left both Diablo II and BG II after finishing 25% and came back to AC. AC can be anything you want it to be.

Update - 2007

Yes, the person who wrote the "stay away" was absolutely on the mark in the year 2000.

Seven years later its really has grown and is quite the game, content is added every month (do the math 12 world updates * 7 years).

The game has seen 2 major revisions (the latest is Throne of desitny) which had a major graphic upgrade.

I started playing in the year 2000, and after 7 years of playing, I think the game has never been better.

A game that lasts

I started playing AC when it first came out and yes I was addicted, but I was addicted when the internet first came out as well. If you have an addictive personality be forewarned this game is for you!!! LOL The graphics are truly wonderful, and though I have not played any other on-line RP games I have played game such as Diablo II and the graphics are comparible. I also stopped playing for about 6 months and came back to the game without any hassles. You don't have options as to what kind of a being you will be, for you will be human. But you can choose to be a sorceror or a swordsmaster etc... I really enjoy this game, I feel it is worth $10 a month. Most people are enjoyable and there is no other game that you will be able to role play and just sit around and chat for so long and in such an desirable place. Enjoy!!!!

I really don't know what to type that others have not said.
I give this game a great review =).
It has kept me playing for over 18+ months, and they were usually enjoyable times.

Cool Fun

I thoroughly enjoy this game about once a week on average. I would say that I disagree with some of the other comments about harsh language, which I have not encountered, and participation in the allegiance system is completely voluntary. My own experience has been excellent.
I sometimes wish I had more time to play, but the game allows for me to not play for months at a time and pick up where I left off pretty easily.

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.

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.
