Hah see for me, Asheron’s Call was my first evar MMO and so EQ never really compared to it. We were talking about it (well ok, reminiscing ) with some friends the other night — AC is one of the only games I can recall where you could actually dodge incoming magic and missiles, which was kinda fun (and probably why the game was so popular with its PvP crowd, of which I was never one).

I went back to it briefly a year or so ago and as a walk down memory lane it was… oookay. None of the friends I’d made were there, though, and that’s really what keeps you in a game. In Asheron’s Call I met the guild I’m still in today, not to mention dozens of friends I’ve now known for a decade, one of whom I even married. LOTS of memories.

I don’t remember much about it tbh. I am surprised it’s still going though even when the sequel was cancelled. I played AC2 briefly but for some reason my connection to the game was terrible and I couldn’t enjoy it due to constant disconnects.

Yeah, low requirements are definitely nice Plus those games didn’t tend to need such fast Internet connections either… I use to play EQ on a 56k dial up modem!

I had fun with AC. It’s definitely a macro-friendly game.

That’s the great thing about older games that still hold some appeal. You can run them on pretty much anything. I am playing HOMM3 on a virtual machine simply so I can run it windowed and it’s no problem at all. I just install DAEMON Tools Lite and mount an image file of the play disc in the virtual DVD drive. Yes, a virtual DVD drive on a virtual computer, I can see the infinite regress already.
