GameSpy @ E3: Asheron’s Call 2

GameSpy has written up a detailed report of the upcoming Asheron’s Call 2, based upon what they saw of it at E3 this year. A snippet:

The most noticeable improvements over the original Asheron’s Call is the cleaned-up GUI (user interface) and new approach to skills as well as combat. The interface is a lot cleaner and less invasive of the viewing area now. There are multiple chat windows available, and each can be set with different filters to keep combat or spam from causing important messages to scroll by. Your character now follows monsters targeted a lot quicker, and with less jerky animations than the original. Skins now change to reflect damage; monsters will bleed and so will you. The interface also reflects the new approach to skills.
