AC Lore back to the beginning?

[BluSkye]

Is there any way to get all the lore ever written for Asheron's Call? Is it archived somewhere that I can either download or copy/paste?

[Black-Wolf]

You could print of some of these crossroads of dereth pages.

Thanks Black-Wolf, but was looking for something more official like an archive that Turbine may have kept.

Or just check the Goodies/Lore folder on your ACDM CD (or in the ZIP file from Fileplanet) to find the essentials.

Even if it's not official, between CoD and Maggie's I think you should be able to find every lore piece ever written...

Officially, this is the zone lore:

http://classic.zone.msn.com/asheronscall/lore.asp

Which is all horribly outdated of course, but the brief history for travellers is a nice summary of the story of each monthly event:

http://classic.zone.msn.com/asheronscall/ASHEhistory.asp

It only goes up to a few months before the end of the Gaerlan arc, but it's a good read ^_^

On Turbine's end, there are the teasers and roll out articles since they stopped being on the zone here:

http://ac.turbinegames.com/index.php?page_id=40

And within those are also a few lore stories (Like in the 'Across the Great Divide' page there are two stories about Antius' investigation)

There's also one set of lore stories in the articles section:

http://ac.turbinegames.com/index.php?page_id=53

Called Reawakening.


Beyond those though, I guess posting the actual in game books and things is too much of a spoiler for any official sites, you'll have to use CoD and Maggie's... Hope that helped a little! ^_^

Wasn't looking for the ingame books type lore. Was looking for basically the "Teaser's" back to the beginning.


Thanks for all the help guys.

I host a site that has all [to the best of my knowledge] of the lttp's, dev notes etc back to Dec 1999 if you're interested.

It's here :

Not... yet. :)

[Ashikaga]

The Dark Majesty CD has a large PDF of all the lore up till that Xpack was released.

Awesome, thanks Ibn. :D

This is probably one of the more painful parts of the expansion that Turbine has to do as they create the new boxed set. Somewhere along the line they have to get all the lore, monthly changes, the expansion stuff all documented in the box, available on their web site and documented in one of those Sybex help books.

Glad I am not in the documentation group - :rolleyes: given that there seems to me no slowing down in the frantic pace of change by Orion, Scenario, Zyrca and the balance of the live team.
