Turbine has announced that a new Asheron's Call 2 server has opened up and that the game is free to anyone with a current Asheron's Call subscription or who purchase a key and subscribe. They were not able to restore old characters to the Dawnsong server, however.

Below is a link to the Asheron’s Call 2 client installer so you may get the game up and running. This will provide access to the new Dawnsong server. Although the server has passed our initial tests, we have a lot of monitoring and tweaking to do to the game environment and we want to ensure that our players understand that. This game service will be provided as a beta for all players with an active Asheron’s Call account. That said, the game server is currently up and running. So join us for a nostalgic trip back to a Dereth where the golden age was not interrupted.

If you are an active paid AC1 subscriber there will be no need to create a new account for Asheron’s Call 2; you will simply log into the Asheron’s Call 2 game using your current Asheron’s Call credentials.

Can someone explain what this game is about in a few sentences?  I never played it or followed it, but I am aware of how much some people loved it.

It's sandbox, of which I believe you are a big fan of? 

It's one of the ones (along with AC1) that I regretted not ever picking up, it's worth your time to at least research it.

You had me at sandbox.  I'm already downloading it.  I have nothing else to do, with DF:UW being a bust.

LOL! I'm at work or I might just be doing the same. I'm thinking you'll love it, it's on most sandboxers top MMOs list.

Yeesh, I can barely remember my time in this game but the pull of nostalgia is strong, and I'm going to resub to AC1 so I can check this out and support the revival of old games.

If nothing else I seem to recall really loving the world design.
