So far, I've really liked the 100th patch. I've noticed that a lot of people that aren't enjoying it (for one reason or another) usually haven't ventured away from Asheron's Call to play other games. On the other hand, there's been a lot of returning players (like my husband and I) that really appreciate the depth and quality of this update. I'm not sure if that's because the AC Dev Team is taking the game in a direction that's more in tune with the features that other games already provide or not, but regardless, it's a great update. Individual reasons: A (small) form of Land Control with a bonus vendor when your faction controls the area, loot upgrades that (at least so far) can't be macroed, content that will continue revealing itself for some time to come judging by the slowness that people advance in each society, and level VIII spells that I still can't figure out how to craft.

When Asheron's Call launched in November of 1999, the development team at Turbine had an ambitious plan in mind: every month, they would update the game, not just to add content but to further the game's story. With the game's ninth anniversary right around the corner, the AC team has hit another huge milestone: August's update is the game's 100th.

We sat down with Producer Dave Javier and Community Manager Andy Cataldo to chat about the evolving world of Dereth and both their favorite memories from the path as well as what they were looking forward to in the future of Asheron's Call.
