Odd Asheron's Call email.....

[Valid]

Out of the blue I got a email today from Asheron's Call about it being their 10th Anniversary. I had no clue! Man I really really miss that game.....

[Exerias]

Yea I got that too. It made me feel old.

I received that email. I marked it as spam.

Had it not been for the 100th patch adding new shit to grind out in a game where I just wanted to pvp and macro I would probably still be playing. They essentially added WoW type daily quests into the game in the form of "weekly quests." You had to do those quests to get chest pulls for the new tier of spells and gear, also you could manually hunt mobs for items to make pulls on the chests. Both of those methods were limited on how often you could get keys for the chests... and 95% of the stuff in the chests were utter garbage. Plus, because they implemented lvl 8 protections first, it was impossible to kill a mage with melee or archer again so I got bored real quick.

I miss what that game used to be so badly. They accidentally made the most perfect MMO PVP game ever.

You know I never really jumped on the AC bandwagon... this kind of makes me think I missed something great. :-/

[Ganthor]

I believe you did, here's to hoping Kewtsquirrel or somebody else will hack it up so we can play an emulated server like people have done with UO. Would be great to play during the period of some of those older patches. Hell, I'd settle for anything before the 100th, but something earlier with a level cap would be interesting, so you had to choose which skills to raise up. Instead of just being able to macro and max everything.

I would actually be up for an emulated AC server. But it might seem like a huge empty world in that game without a large enough population. Ultima was perfect size for emulation servers.

[Ganthor]

Well, I could guarantee on an emulated server I would probably be running 3-5+ guys macroing while playing one. At least it would make it feel more full with people macroing all over.
