Concern over future lawsuits led Microsoft to shut down their volunteer program for Asheron's Call.

Asheron's Call ( AC ) is a fantasy MMORPG for Microsoft Windows-based PCs developed and published by Turbine Entertainment.

Asheron's Call is set on the continent of Dereth and its surrounding islands on the fictional planet of Auberean.

Set in a heroic-fantasy world Asheron's Call allows players to create a character, or avatar from one of six ( as of March 2010 Event ) in-game races.

Many elements of Asheron's Call are radically different from most other MMORPGs.

For example, Asheron's Call does not divide its world into different level zones.

Another key difference is that Asheron's Call does not use character level as the major determinant in the outcome of a combat.

Whereas in many games a player will be able to move a cursor over an opponent and instantly know from their level whether they will be successful in combat, in Asheron's Call a character might be able to defeat much higher level foes or lose to much lower level ones, again depending upon one's skill choices and equipment.

Asheron's Call features a unique allegiance and fealty system that creates formal links between players and rewards cooperative play.

At the time, Microsoft operated Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2, and was planning to publish Brad McQuaid's new MMORPG: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes for PC and True Fantasy Live Online, an anime-esque MMOG for the Xbox console.

Arguably the most severe penalty came on Asheron's Call where a killed player incurred a 5 % loss in all stats and abilities per death, stacking up to 40 %.

Asheron's Call 2 took place following a major cataclysmic event on the planet, resulting in massive changes to the topography of one continent on the planet ( Dereth ).

In Ultima Online and Asheron's Call, a rift formed between those who enjoyed PKing, those who enjoyed hunting the PKs and those who simply did not want to fight at all.

( This book was also published in two other editions, one called ' The 12 Best Commando Stories ever ' ( with different cover art also ) and the other entitled ' Call of Battle ', published by Seven-Oaks in 2009 which had identical cover-art to ' Dirty Dozen ' but contained 10 of the above 12 stories ).
