There are times when you feel the need to mention a game, but there isn't really any other place in which to do it. These are the anomalies, the head-scratchers, or anything else that simply just defies categorization.
Maggie the Jackcat let us know:
I'm saddened to let you know that my vassal, Ned Cleversun, passed away on Tuesday (Sep 2). He was the finest vassal on Dereth. A good companion and dear, dear friend. I will miss him terribly.
We will all miss him. A thread has been started on the official forums to offer condolences.
When Asheron's Call launched in November of 1999, the development team at Turbine had an ambitious plan in mind: every month, they would update the game, not just to add content but to further the game's story. With the game's ninth anniversary right around the corner, the AC team has hit another huge milestone: August's update is the game's 100th.
I sat down with Producer Dave Javier and Community Manager Andy Cataldo to chat about the evolving world of Dereth and both their favorite memories from the path as well as what they were looking forward to in the future of Asheron's Call.
Asheron's Call and Turbine have hit the record books with the one hundredth update. This is a particularly impressive feat given the short-term viability of most games. Celebrate with them by reading the official release...
Turbine released a boatload of images related to their 100th update of Asheron's Call, including this one:
