I played Asherons Call back when it was owned by Microsoft and on Zone.com. Honestly this game wasn't good.

I couldn't shut down Asheron's Call if I was Turbine and I saw this video.

I don't see Asheron's Call being saved. From what is being said they already sound super pessimistic about the whole thing. Saving an IP is really hard.

The way Asheron's Call plays is really outdated and frustrating. The controls and camera are annoying. If this group is able to get their hands on the IP, will they be able to make major changes to the game to make it more modern?

Is there anything new on the fan made attempt to bring the game back? I still expect it won't work out but we will see.

Man I hope so! I really want to play this again. I'm not sure what the lifetime subscription was about, it's kind of a bummer for those people. I will definitely get a subscription to the game if they start the servers back up.

Even better, Asheron's Call had no sub for its last year or so of service.

Maybe what WB is doing is they are changing the server software over to something custom or free, cause that was supposedly the original issue with keeping the game going. WB had to pay an expensive 3rd party license for the servers.

You can raise and use any skill you want but I never could figure out if there were limits to that.

Has there been anything new? I want to play this now dead game that I had years to play previously but never did.

Still patiently holding out for a private server that is exactly like Asheron's Call the moment it shut down.
