  1. What’s not to like? A MMOG with fantastic production values, monthly episodic content, that’s playable over a 56k connection, you bet people will like it!
  2. The combat animations and audio are good, but the severe lack of cities with NPCs to barter and interact with is a shame. [Feb 2003, p.107]
  3. One of the more organic MMORPG experience I've had in a long while, eschewing the sterility I usually get when I enter an online world. This game is changing and growing, even ex post facto of its release.

    A solid MMORPG, but feels like it's missing that special spark that will keep you hooked for weeks on end.

    I've tried Everquest and Camelot.. and while both offered some time wasting enjoyment.. i've never been hooked online by a game as i have with Asherons Call 2, its almost sad really....Theres quite a bit to do and its very accessible making it easy to jump into. It does have its problems, but the monthly updates will most likely smooth most of them out. As far as the nuance of having to pay to play this is honestly the first time i've played a game online, with plans to keep playing after the free month runs out. Its just really fun. Collapse
