I used my old box version, couldn't get that to work as the launcher is still tied to the Microsoft data centre, however I used the DL option here and after reactivating my old AC1 account I'm now in the game =).
So good to be playing again, Turbine will make a few quid out of this one no doubt, but AC2 was always a game that alot of ppl still wanted to play.

Originally posted by azzamasin There's also a lot of people who were/are AC1 player who were "offended" that Turbine would "dare" to make an AC2 that wasn't AC1 with better graphics. They raged about it back then. They've raged about it almost any time someone brought up AC2 since, and they're right back at it, raging about it now. For a game that went offline 7 years ago. And we thought the SWG/NGE people had trouble letting go and moving on? I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into a case of "Hey, let's see how we can take this more old-school, classic game, with its own style and personality, that developed a following for the things it did differently, rather than for "doing everything the same", and figure out how to squeeze it more into a "modern MMO" that does everything the same" instead". In other words: As in, I seriously hope Turbine is planning to keep AC2 as AC2 and not intending to give it the "hyper-linear, casual friendly, hand-held everything" overhaul so many MMOs have received over the past several years, or turn it into yet another "quest hub-chasing race to end-game to raid non-stop until you're bored" routine. I'd like to see them expand more on what the game was supposed to be, what with people rebuilding towns, and such.. What's really great to see is how it looks like the community has just picked up where it left off. People talking, organizing groups for Vault runs... People ask questions and get helpful, respectful answers, not a bunch of ridiculous insults hulred at them for daring to not know. The trolls who have barged in got bored and left after some time. A few who persisted were chased off by GMs who have been quick to jump on any nonsense (specifically use of profanity), issuing ban warnings (for their AC2 and AC1 accounts) if they continued, etc. After the first couple hours it seemed to settle in and become more reminiscent of the AC2 community I fondly remember :)

omg. this is man just mind blowing. never played ac2 back in the day, was too busy with ac1. alot of friends played it though and the problems with the game is microsoft pushed it out too early. from what some friends told me is the game was just before its time.
but im looking at big picture, is this to get more people interested in the franchise to pave the way for ac3 that has been rumored to be in development. we know turbine has been working on a unnamed game for a few years now. either way im gonna resub to ac1 and try this out.
good job turbine. |

Well, I was almost suckered into playing WoW again at full throttle, but with this news... forget that. I never really got a chance to fully play AC2, and now I shall seize that chance. I enjoyed most of my days playing AC1, and while I did try AC2 out for a bit, I seemed to be stuck on AC1 back then. It's been quite a few years, clearly, so I'll definitely be giving it a try. I'm not sure where Turbine is going with this move; let's hope they don't decide to immediately take it back/within a few months.  |

Unexpected! I wonder if it's coincidental that the recent work on AC2 private servers is coming to a head.
The game was a pve fest which is not really my thing but what I do remember about it was the great world atmosphere.

Hopefully this leads to Asheron's Call 3, one of the most genuinelly interesting original MMORPG worlds ever created. As retrograde as this sounds, I wouldn't mind spending the next years of my MMO gaming life in Dereth and Norrath.

For everyone out there that is buying AC1 to play this, and has never played AC1 at some point in time give it a shot. Yes very dated, but if you love massively open and feeedom oriented games it is worth checking out.
On the other hand major kudos to turbine! I cannot wait to play lugian tac, and tummy berserker again!! Great day this is?? |

I think you guys thinking how awesome this is have forgot what a sub-par game it was and why many of you quit it to begin with... Dont want to rain in on anyone's parade but I dont think people realise what a sub-par game this was.  |

Originally posted by Yamota I've never played any asherons call game before. I actually bought the first one and subbed just for a chance to try ac2. Personally, I am actually enjoying it. One of the first games in a while I actually want to play. May be sub par, but may also be better than some other offerings today |

There were plenty of people running around on the servers last night and that was with no official announcement outside of their forums and a download link that was having problems from so much traffic.
For every naysayer there is probably 10 people who are interested. |

Oh the joy !! can hardly wait to run those vaults again and well...everything! lol. This is soo sweet. I still remember the night it all shut down,was really sad, I had a musical instrument,pipes of some kind as I recall,and along with some others,just played a farewell concert as the olthoi over-ran Dereth again and Asheron,who had indeed returned,though was on one of dereth's moons or something, shut us back up inside the shelters... Thank you Turbine/WB for doing this,a truly awesome Christmas Gift. |
