Asheron's Call

Those of you who remember the good old days of "Maggie the Jackcat" will remember these two dedicated people (Maggie and Ned) who faithfully stayed with AC all these years while the rest of us went on to become dis-satisfied MMO trolls.

They were old timers when I played AC back in 2001 / 2.

I guess he passed away on Sept 4th 2008. Maggie doesn't leave much info.

He was a great MMORPG player and the community will miss him.

September 4, 2008
I'm saddened to let you know that my vassal, Ned Cleversun, passed away on Tuesday. He was the finest vassal on Dereth. A good companion and dear, dear friend. I will miss him terribly.

(A picture from Maggies site, I think Ned was her vassal for 8 or 9 years)

So sad. :(

Thats terrible, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Maggie was great, and I still love her site.

Oh that is sad to hear  

They were such a great resource for all of us.  I can't even guess at how many times I refered back to their pages to find out tid-bits of knowledge.

I miss games that required thinking.  These days everyone just follows lighted paths between NPCs with glowing punctuation marks over their heads.  Games have fallen apart, nintendo-ized to the dumbest denominator.  The people that put in such effort in to the great MMORPG games can never be thanked enough.

Bless you Ned.

If two people best exemplified what MMORPG's are really about it was Maggie and Ned. Its not the graphics or the quest or game mechanics, its the people who enjoy gaming together whatever game it might be.

Always sad... and always a reminder there's a real human being behind the text or avatar.

That is dissappointing news...

I used that sight alot when I played AC, great memories...Wish games still had that type of feel...

Mags sight help me get my first Atalt weapon, damn remember it like it was yesterday going into that dungeon near the plateau and jump down the shaft....Oh lord memories...

R.I.P Ned thank you for the great sight over the years that we all enjoyed, I could always count on your site to get me through the days of playing AC....R.I.P

We will all miss you ned. I remember using maggies site for almost everything and it was one of the best resouce sites for that game.  I will love the idea of a game that will be even close to the joy that AC brought me.... I'm praying that DFO will bring back that old feel where there is such a big world and not a linear path to follow!

Farewell ned we will miss you.

Never really knew them but my heart goes out to maggie and neds family..what a sad loss in a close community, I know  what its like to lose a really good MMO friend and it really does hurt.

R.I.P. Ned gone but never forgotten.

R.I.P.

I still go to this site years after not playing AC just to see the update pages.
