Asheron's Call 2 Report

In addition to their DS report, RPGVault has also posted one for Asheron's Call 2, once again based upon what they saw at the International Games Festival in Vegas:

    Building upon the key strengths of its first game, Asheron's Call 2 will also feature an ongoing storyline and a dynamic content system that can bring about various events such as storms, blizzards, volcanoes and even invasions. There will still be monthly events with new quests, items et al to keep players involved in the story. Even better, Jason indicated that the new gameplay engine has been designed to make them easier to implement. Also adding to the depth of experience in this area, one of the game's goals is to provide a much more interactive environment wherein players will be able to affect the world in various ways, such as rebuilding the ruined world and changing their immediate surroundings by completing quests. As players become more powerful, they will even be able to trigger certain global events like the aforementioned storms and invasions.
