Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty kicks off the next chapter in the ongoing Asheron's Call story line by introducing the island of Marae Lassel, a sprawling new landmass that contains new quests, dungeons, and treasures, and will be accessible to all levels of players who purchase Dark Majesty.
Dark Majesty also delivers housing and secure storage, two of the features most requested by players. Players will be able to purchase unique homes on designated plots of land, as well as use their residences for secure storage purposes. Homeowners can also customize decorations and house access.
This expansion pack is not required; players who purchased the original Asheron's Call game will be able to continue to explore the land of Dereth. However, players will not be able to own or enter houses, travel to Marae Lassel, or use many of the new items from Marae Lassel unless they own the expansion.
In addition to new lands, new monsters, housing, and storage, Dark Majesty includes the complete Asheron's Call game and one free month of play. Both new players and players with existing accounts benefit from the free month, after which the normal monthly fee of $9.95 applies. --Mike Fehlauer

This Game Rocks,
By Jonathon Hibbard (Manchester, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)
Though it has yet to come out, it is the most anticipated expansion pack coming out. Asheron's Call (issued in 1999), was the turning point for many MMRPGS. Asheron's Call brings infinate entertainment, excitement, and awe with their great graphics, monthly update ( including new content for the players), allegiance systems, quests, and more. Dark Majesty, will add even more to it.Dark Majesty brings the current players, as well as new-comers, Housing, new lands never before seen, new Quests, and updated graphics to make your 3D card work as hard as it can. This is a great buy and will be great once it arrives. For those of you interested? GET IT! BUT, beware! Once you enter Asheron's Call:Dark Majesty...you may be forever addicted... -Beregond (Thistledown)

Great game -- play with others online,
By Allen (Alaska, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)
Asheron's Call is a PC based, on-line computer game in the Baldar's Gate/Dungeons & Dragons genre'. Characters move up in level based upon experience -- gaining increased abilities as they kill monsters or turn in certain items. There are also lots of weapons, magic items and armor you can gain or improve through questing and crafting. The complexity of the crafting and combat aspects of the game is interesting and complex enough to keep you engaged over a fairly long time.The game has not been generally available via retail sale since around the December 2002 release of Asheron's Call 2. However, Asheron's Call remains popular -- still more popular than Asheron's Call 2 -- although not as popular as some of the larger on-line games such as Everquest. Games copies are available through Amazon.com & Ebay, but are not generally at the local computer game store, unless they carry discontinued or second-hand games. As with all multiplayer massive online realtime games (MMORG) Asheron's Call has its share of fan sites where you can follow discussions about different aspects of the game, read quest write ups, complain about what you would like to see changed or just socialize. The recent test by Turbine/MicroSoft of a new game server make many players hopeful that this on-line game will continue on for years to come. There are seven server/worlds, all of which are identical except for the players that inhabit them. One of the worlds is dedicated strictly for player killers, those players that chose to be able kill or be killed other players. Most players stick to only one server since it takes time to advance your character through various levels. Weapons and fighting abilities can be lumped into three categories, melee' such as sword, mace, axe; missile weapons such as bow, crossbow and hand thrown weapons; and magic, which is broken into 4 schools of magic, each of which is trained independently. The ways in which you chose to create your character and the way in which you train different skills and apply the experience that you gain makes customization of your character a big part of the game. Recent changes to the game make the skills and attributes for your character much more changable and flexible. Changes to the game are introduced each month. The monthly changes are eagerly awaited by most players. Many players run around the world after a new "patch", hoping to be one of the first to find a new monster or new quest. Most players organize into monarchies that help each other with game information, and to help each other gain more powerful weapons, magic spells and armor. Many monarchies are also places to socialize as well. I've enjoyed playing this game for over a year. Many have played the game for 3-4 years since it was first available for beta testing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Better than ever,
By "eschient" (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty Expansion Pack (CD-ROM)
ACDM hasn't been reviewed in a while, so here's the updates on where this fantastic game stands now. Housing has become a lot more attainable since the introduction of apartments. At this point in time, there are still apartments available on many servers. {Apartments provide a 1-room space with a few hooks for hanging items and one chest for storage.}Monthly updates now include graphics updates in many cases, so while the graphics may not be up to par with some games, there is an effort to update them. But graphics aren't everything as many former AC2 players will tell you. The gameplay is still wonderful and more and more features are added every few months to enhance gameplay, such as spellbook sorting, new weapons, better damage mods, better armor, tinkering and tons of melee, missle and mana bonuses. They've done a lot of balancing for classtypes and unlike many MMPORPG's, Asheron's Call is geared to EVERY level of character and every type of player {solo fighters, fellowships, PvP, PvM, questers and even tradeskill characters}. There's so much going on in this game, I can't begin to cover it all in less than 1000 words. Asheron's Call Dark Majesty is better now than it ever was. There's a great mix of old and new players and a ton of different communities in and outside the game for constant up-to-the-minute information on everything from the lore in game to new and future updates and quests. If you're looking for a game that is truely engaging and will keep you hooked, this is it. Take it from someone who's been playing it avidly for over a year, AC is worth every penny {which you'll get back anyway, thanks to the rebate}! Come on in, Dereth is waiting!
