Asheron's Call 2 Preview @ GameSpot

The latest preview of Asheron's Call 2 can be found over at GameSpot. A snippet:

    As in the original Asheron's Call game, one of the best ways to have a network of powerful allies is to join an allegiance--a player organization that bears some resemblance to a medieval lord-and-vassal system. But in Asheron's Call 2, players can also choose an alignment by siding with one of the three major kingdoms of Dereth: Order, Shadow, and Dominion, which correspond roughly to good, evil, and neutral, respectively. Belonging to an alignment will not only open up new quests, but it will also put your character on the battle lines for player vs. player (PvP) conflicts.
