Asheron’s Call: Dark Majesty

ACDM is a massively multiplayer world brimming with constantly evolving stories, real life comrades and strange and fearsome monsters. A varied host of creatures populate the benighted, medieval terrain; mysterious artifacts of great power embellish vast treasure hoards; and sorcerers, fighters and rogues plot both heroic alliances and base villainy. However, Asheron’s Call: Dark Majesty retains a strong flavor all its own, with an original back story and creatures, and unparalleled flexibility in character creation and development. After players select their attire and facial features from millions of possible combinations, they customize their skill set to make their character truly unique. As they defeat foes, gamers can allocate experience to not only specific skills but also the base attributes like strength and intelligence. And the allegiance system grants players power and prestige as they recruit followers to their service. In the vast and magical world of Dereth, a new and heroic identity await.
