best mmorpg made to date (pvp dark tide)
illusions10219 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Back when this game came out there was no other like it,it had it all. Not only was it a great story, when it came to pvp or pvm (player vs monster) if you was skillful it really showed in your game play more than ever in pvp (basically low level players with skill could beat high level players)!

Over the years its fallen behind. But thats all due to plug ins and hacks but all in all its still a great game (i still play). If you want to solo or interact with others, AC has it all. I've try-ed WoW and many other rpg's an apart from FX they really have nothing on AC.

Now moving on as far as pvp goes (player vs player) there has never been another mmorpg come out, that even comes near! I'm not gonna go on about white servers and dark tide etc (only AC players will understand that) but all i can say is this game has had its day, i'm truly sorry to say that cause AC is the first MMORPG i started playing...but all good things must come to a end.....Its not all bad news thou, when the "game" Darkfall is released i'm hoping all the orig AC players will head over to it, cause i hear its gonna be just like AC but more about PvP than levelling............release date is rumoured for the end of Feb 2009, but they've been pushing a release for years, we shall see.

My First Obsession!
Nglas29 July 2007
First off, if the year was 2001 I would give this game 10 stars, but as it is, the game has become something very different. When it started, Asheron's Call was the best role-playing game you could find. The graphics were amazing, the battles were intense, and the friends/enemies you made contributed to how well you enjoyed the game. Now, however, the game is full of cheats and angry children (or just very immature adults). I can't play longer than a few minutes without hearing someone call someone else a fa**** or a cu**.

If Turbine is listening, get rid of housing. It took away from what had been a social game. Get rid of the cheats, it's what made honest players leave. (and probably why WOW is so popular)
