Getting better [Posted on 2004-11-16]
I originally played AC2 in beta and was one of the long-time AC1 players who vocally complained about the mechanics and bugs pervading the game during beta and at launch as well as the seemingly clueless development team willing to release the game with the myriad of flaws. I never purchased the game but did watch from a distance as the game failed, transferred solely to Turbine and began to receive the attention it needed to become the game it could have been all along. I am now playing AC2 again and can say that I'm truly having a blast. The game has made great strides, from the character development at the low to mid-levels to the quests that are readily available and fun to do in groups or solo. Additionally, the new crafting system is outstanding. There are still many areas that need attention, particularly the high level skills (called Hero skills in AC2) and the lack of storage, however, the game is certainly moving in the right direction. Download the free trial and give it a try...you just might find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find.

not sure [Posted on 2004-11-28]
I bought asherons call in 1999 and played it for awhile then put it aside until now. I want to play it again but find then download to regain all the updates I have lost is over 100 hrs so thought a new versdion of the game would solve this hope thats true.

It would be fun if... [Posted on 2005-01-02]
This game really does have it all. It has a lot of stuff to do and the enviroments are truely a marvel. The thing that takes away from it though, is that no one plays it. This game would be better than WoW if more people played it. It's peak population was like 600!!! Also, it has probably dropped now that WoW is out. Anyway, I would have to recommend WoW instead of this game. It's the same formula only 300,000 people play it. Your choice though, play with 600 people or 300,000 people.

A classy MMOG [Posted on 2005-01-20]
I'll be the first to admit AC2 had its problems when it launched. However, all of these have now been resolved. The player classes are largely balanced, there is lots to do in game, the crafting system works well, there are now player run vendor shops, the PvP system is alot of fun, its a very newbie friendly game, the combat system is the best EVER in any MMOG. Its fast-paced, tactical, and requires skill rather than just button bashing. definately worth taking a look. Also there is an expansion pack coming out in March with a new race, new continent, and new expansion levels Hero system adding new skills and combat skill-chains.
