Turbine has once again made a major upgrade to the Asheron's Call 2 world. They have completely re-vamped their crafting system to what will now be known as "Crafting 2.0". Just a small sample of the new features:
There is a TON more to list, but you will have to visit the official Crafting 2.0 page to read them all! Nice work Turbine, this really looks impressive! - MMORPG.COM Staff - |

This is probably one of the single largest changes overall to an online game in history (outside of an expansion pack) Virtually every aspect of AC2 (loot, questing etc) has been "touched" by the vast changes to the crafting system.. When coupled with the massive refinement effort underway over the last year by turbine .. AC2 is clearly at its best.. and is currently my favorite MMO of them all.. The real shame with this game is the lack of marketing/players.. more players should give her a try! its free 2 week trial and only 12.95 to convert to a fully paid account.. As of june 30th.. even if you tried it at any point in the past.. its a "whole new game"
No i do not work for turbine, i am simply a very happy customer! |

I agree, this is going to be a great change in the game. Now all that's left is adding some merchants and/or auction house of some sort, and we're set.
 Been looking forward to this update for a while now, it's gonna be sweet. To anyone that's been thinking about trying out the free trial to give this game a spin, now's the best time. You'll get to see a few days of game play before this patch, so you will notice the change too.

I just reactivated my account last week, and now crafting 2.0 is set to come out! After trying a number of mmo's, I will stick with AC2 until something better comes out. Currently, there is no better mmo on the market... -speculative |

The constantly changing world and the communicative developers is my #1 reason for playing AC2. And the crafting changes look freaking great! |

Crafting 2.0 is gonna add alot of need interaction to the comunity along with all of the content and upgrades to the gamescence release has made this by far the best mmorpg on the market if you havent tried pleasse do the only thing we are lacking is the comunity due to a premature launch that was a hugh turn off.
Their 15 free trial with noobligation to show a credit card is a great no strings attached way to try out the new crafting sys and see how fun this game really is. |

How long since you played Djin? You should be presently surprised. :) AC2 is loaded with new quests and lore. I'm chomping at the bit for Crafting v2.0.... a major update to the game changing a lot of aspects of the game, with more to come down the road. I've tried them all and for this genre this is the best there is. |

You cant go wrong here! They offer you a Free 15 day trial (No credit card required I may add) A world that is changing on a monthly bases and a very tight community. I personally feel this is one of the best MMORPG's out on the market and the only thing it is suffering from nowadays is populations. Allot of people gave up on this game when it was first released because of some issues the game has. Turbine has really plugged away and fixed allot of the issues. With this new Crafting 2.0 it brings in allot of new and fresh ideas and excitment. The great thing about this new 2.0 crafting is a new player could start with this game TODAY and be right up there with all the long time players. EVERYONE is starting fresh. This is a great time to try this game out. See ya in game!! |

You can't play right now because the servers are down because they are applying the BIG crafting 2.0 patch as we speak. The window for the patch is 4 hours so it should be up and running later this afternoon and boy is it going to be fun to log into the new crafting.
DAMN it why do I have to be stuck at work....ahhhhhhhh |
