Wanted to review it, but since I don't have enough points, I'm putting it here.

Asheron's Call was my first MMORPG. I played it for several months, which is a long stretch for me, back only a few months/years after it came out. Back then it was a great game, wonderful fun exploring and fighting, trying to learn things and stay alive. Since then I have returned several times over the years to AC, in the hopes I could recapture that old feeling, but it's gone. New MMORPG innovations like specific combat actions that make it more than just pressing a button repeatedly and actually require constant thought and planning, make the combat system of AC feel boring and mundane.

Still, AC has a lot going for it still. Nice people, great stability, many good addons, and of course the signature of AC, plenty to explore. However, for myself I just can't get past the horrible combat system. I find myself bored out of my mind, messing with skills, rearranging my inventory, and listening to music all at the same time, just so I don't become bored.

I'm writing this review more for myself than anyone else. Like I said I've come and gone from AC so many times I can't remember. Built characters, made friends, only to end up bored, lonely, and sad. Sad that such a good game can't stay innovative. This last attempt to go back to AC started less than 48 hours ago. Now I hope I can remember why I don't like AC. Maybe this will help me remember.
