History of Asheron's Call

Back to top

1995 - 1999

Game Development

Development of Asheron's Call began in 1995 after Turbine and Microsoft had entered into a developer/publisher agreement where legal ownership of the property and subsequently-developed properties were owned by Microsoft.
All of the games Servers and the initial beta testing were also hosted on Zone.msn.com as part of the publishing agreement with Microsoft.
"Empyrean" was the code name Microsoft used to refer to Asheron's Call in 1997 when the game was still in development. ^[1]

1999

Beta Testing and Release

The AC Beta consisted of three phases which spanned from May until October of 1999.
- See the Asheron's Call Beta page for full details and links.

Other important events that occured before and during beta testing:
- Turbine's beta page, http://www.zogblaster.com/tweb/asherons-call, goes live.
  - See the ACCWiki's Zogblaster Archive to take a look back at the site.
- Microsoft's Asheron's Call page, http://www.microsoft.com/games/zone/asheronscall/, goes live.
  - See the ACCWiki's Microsoft Games Archive to take a look back at the site.

November 2, 1999 - AC goes retail, it is the third major MMORPG to be released at this time.

2000 - 2003

Microsoft Gaming Zone

In addition to the hosting of the game Servers, all AC announcements including patch teasers, rollout articles, letters to the players and patch notes were released onto the AC section of the Microsoft Gaming Zone.
- See the ACCWiki's Microsoft Zone Archive to take a look back at the site.
- See also Category:Microsoft Zone Archive and Category:Patch Announcements.

2003

Turbine buys Asheron's Call license back

Turbine bought back all franchise rights from Microsoft in 2003^[2] and consequently took responsibility for server hosting. The servers remained at a facility in Washington State until 2008 when all server hardware was replaced and relocated to a facility in Massachusetts near Turbine headquarters. Due to various quality of service issues that caused extended downtime the servers were moved to a new facility on March 30th, 2009.

2004

Turbine unlocks Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty for all AC subscribers

Turbine announces that all Dark Majesty content will be available to every subscriber regardless of whether they have purchased the expansion pack in the past or not. ^[3]

Turbine Green Lights AC Expansion Pack

An announcement is made that fans of the award-winning online role playing game Asheron’s Call® will receive a new expansion pack (Throne of Destiny) in early 2005.^[4]

Turbine Jolts Asheron's Call® and AC2: Fallen Kings® in Europe

Turbine Entertainment Software Corp., a premier provider of online subscription entertainment, announced today that it signed a deal with Jolt Online Gaming Ltd., Europe's largest independent online gaming network, to operate the company's critically acclaimed Asheron's Call® franchise games in Europe.^[5]

2014

Turbine ends updates to Asheron's Call and Announces F2P

Once this next update is in the hands of the players, the updates to Asheron’s Call will be limited. We intend to fix critical bugs and continue maintenance and support on the game. While there is always a chance we will put out a small update if time permits, players should have the expectation that updates will be limited to maintenance, bug fixes, and perhaps balance iterations of February content such as the new Coliseum.
Let me reiterate that we have no plans to close Asheron’s Call. We plan to keep the game open and the servers running.
Although this change of focus is necessary for our company, we love the Asheron’s Call games and we want them to live forever. We understand that players who have been enjoying our monthly updates will be disappointed at the change to Asheron’s Call. Our long term plan is to make the game free to all active accounts. We are working on a date in the not-to-distant future where all active accounts will be able to play the game for free. Asheron’s Call and Asheron’s Call 2 will be a gift to our loyal players.
