Asheron's Call features a seamless 3D landscape called Dereth in which players can adventure and seek fame, fortune and tons of uber loot. Asheron's Call focuses heavily on the development of the player character and allows complete customization of the characters attributes and skills, from adjusting a characters strength (so he may carry more & do more melee damage) to adjusting his focus (raising magical and healing abilities). Players can also design their own custom "templates" by specializing and training their character as they see fit using many unique skills such as War Magic, Unarmed Combat, Arcane Lore and Item Tinkering. | Asheron's Call features a seamless 3D landscape called Dereth in which players can adventure and seek fame, fortune and tons of uber loot.

One of the greatest assets to Asheron's Call is the atmosphere, with every new addition to the lore and landscape of Dereth the complexity and sheer amount of content within the world continues to astound and surprise even the most hardcore of old school players. The one thing that keeps players coming back and playing again is the sheer freedom that AC brings to MMORPGs, you could easily wander off in a random direction and run for an hour and discover wondrous geographical anomalies and other structures you've never seen that would amaze you, to put it simply, the game world is just beautiful (despite the now dated graphical engine, even with the recent rehaul). | One of the greatest assets to Asheron's Call is the atmosphere, with every new addition to the lore and landscape of Dereth the complexity and sheer amount of content within the world continues to astound and surprise even the most hardcore of old school players.
