Nooo! I just reinstalled a while back to visit and mess around some. Asheron's Call was my first MMO and my time on Darktide still holds some of my dearest gaming memories. Dereth was truly a unique world and some of those monthly updates were amazing. I remember the first time winter came to the game - that was a heck of a shock. The arrival of the Shadows and their Spires (and the eventual destruction of Tufa - which never did get rebuilt drat it!) There was bad with the good of course - an unwillingness to put in basic features other MMOs came to offer, loose ends in the few stories they had out there, neutering the magic system, mixing up the monsters and loot which used to be themed to their location, subway supplanting pre-subway portal paths as the main travel method, and things of that sort. Even so the game offered far more good than bad and I'll miss it. Perhaps I'll see if I can't grab myself a Casting Stein and explore the Direlands as a relative newb one last time.

The trouble with setting up an emulator based upon the ending of AC was that a lot of stuff seemed slapped on (such as summoning) and the biomes of dereth were lost. One thing I really loved about AC was that fighting stuff in the deserts around Yaraq (golems and undead) was significantly different than fighting critters around Rithwic (wasps) or Shoushi (mosswarts). As such I kind of think a pre-ToD system is a good one - especially if they pick and choose later systems to incorporate (such as tinkering).
