Greetings!

Asheron’s Call 2 has returned! We have opened up a new server for anyone who has an active Asheron’s Call subscription to play Asheron’s Call 2 for free! Although we would have loved to revisit some of our old characters with you, we were not able to bring over any of your old characters. We do, however, present this new Asheron’s Call 2 server, Dawnsong, to all active Asheron’s Call players with a paid subscription or who purchase an ACTD retail key and subscribe. 

What does this mean to you?

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. 

Please note that this is a beta, the environment might have some known issues that we will be working on. The friend’s list functionality, for example, will not be available when this new server goes into beta. As can happen during a beta release, the server might be taken down for maintenance or troubleshooting at some inconvenient times if deemed necessary. See you in game!

Been playing for a couple hours now... its been a blast so far. Sadly, I have to head out to work the nightshift and now I have 9 hours to think about playing.

Trying to figure that out myself.... think for 9.99 you can get the AC1 game and that lets you into the beta for AC2... not sure yet though!

You would have to go through customer support then.

Depending on the age of the account... you might have bigger problems. Might have a look at this link;

Torrent available for the download. Helping seed it from a 100mb connection.

Wow.

I mean this is like the total reverse of every other MMO company's behavior. 

Now SOE just needs to release the code for Galaxies as open source and we will know the Mayans were right about the world ending.  Of course I have to seriously warn the galaxies crazies, be careful what you wish for; I have head the SWG code is awful to maintain but SOE should do it anyway.

oh my god, that's worth a one months fee just to try that again. Presuming it works.
