Blah i was hoping for more.

Good news for a lot of people tho, no doubt.

This is great news and i'm happy that it's a done deal. Now about all the rest of the items that are in limbo status, ie new outside hunt grounds, live events etc....can we get an update that goes beyond the usual "Coming soon to a theater near you!"

life is good

Frelorn · 05-26-2006, 11:39 AM

This is the first of many new and exciting things coming for Asheron's Call.

Hectorb911 · 05-26-2006, 11:48 AM

OMG frelorn, You KNOW you will get quoted often for saying that.
I hope it's true, but no matter what there will always be those saying "Is THAT what u call MANY?"

Sledge · 05-26-2006, 11:49 AM

This is truly great news.

Ummmmm, Frelorn. The screenshots on D2D are a little confusing.

The first one appears to be an actual player with actual stats. Good.

The next 3 shots are +characters with stats that we can never, never, ever reach. Or is there another change on the way that will allow us to get these godly stats?????????????

Nevermind that I bought a box set for my second account last night... dang you frelorn :P

I noticed that myself. I have put in a request to have the screenshots chnaged.

Thanks Frelorn.

It's a good idea to keep AC: The Broadway Musical under wraps for just a little longer. Who knows what would happen if the cast should change before opening night.

MASS CHAOS!

I find it humorous that Decal and ElTank are in the first screenshot. Not sure if that was a wise move as it's showing (and perhaps saying that Turbine supports/advocates the use of) Decal and other third party programs, among other reasons.

Glad to see this finally happened.

Purely coincidence and the pictures will be changed soon.

Also, I noticed the pictures show the old-style trees in alot of cases....

The new trees have done alot to make AC's landscapes look nicer. We should definitely be show-casing that

Thanks for all the hard work in getting the download deal finalized.

Aye, thank you Frelorn. It is not an easy job to placate the masses, but the new downloadable ToD is indeed a big deal. Not only will we see a slight increase in population, but it is a monumental sign that Turbine is not just throwing in the towel! Looking forward, I also hope that something positive will now happen with the marketing, but I'm getting ahead of myself. A big Grats to the Turbine crew and to us loyal followers!!!!!
