"Something Special" For the 100th Patch To Asheron's Call

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the old-timers-staying-hip dept.

Turbine is reportedly planning on something special for the 100th patch of Asheron's Call . Having been on the scene since 1999, Asheron's Call will be sharing a 10th anniversary next year with EverQuest, and the developers have been offering up tidbits to their players about what kinds of shiny they may find waiting for them when that big patch hits. "Some of the hints the developers have dropped touch on treasure chest rewards, and the mechanics of the treasure system. They also have plans for a new landscape hunting quests. The most firm new information comes from Frelorn, with the AC community relations team, about an incoming tier of loot and its role in the landscape hunting game."

      Some of us actually like to hunt landscape. I still have yet to find and kill the Troll Cave.

    Too bad AC2's combat system was so bad and it failed. We'll probably never see an AC3. I was a huge fan of AC1.

    I suppose it's too much to ask for the editors to get the summary right, considering the 100th patch is in August and the 10 year anniversary next year - they aren't the same thing.

    For a site about things like basic rights, Slashdot users sure do like to censor "dissent".

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asheron's_Call is the best you are probably going to get. Since so few people play the game, I am sure that most histories are now hard to find.
