Asheron’s Call 2 Preview @ GameOver

The guys at GameOver have written a preview of Turbine’s upcoming sequel to Asheron’s Call 2. A snippet:

Fallen Kings does not force everyone to fight though. Player versus player combat is merely an option. In fact, you’ll spend a great deal of time before you even reach the point where you can proclaim allegiance to a kingdom, much less survive organized combat. One thing noticeable about Fallen Kings is a protracted tutorial segment. Asheron’s Call was fairly free-form in its gameplay and while it featured a starter town, you were free to do whatever you want after that. Here, a good portion of the first landmass is dedicated to helping new players but at the same time, it doesn’t feel like you’re merely going through an extended tutorial.
