in Asheron's Call
These guys were clearly geniouses, it's a shame the live team kinda pissed all over the game.  But I suppose that happens to every mmorpg.  Where are these guys and are they working on anything?

    After digging up my old AC1 manual I found that Toby Ragaini was the lead designer for AC1...Turns out hes not with Turbine anymore because hes now with Monolith working on The Matrix Online...

    What a shame lol

    Hey, you still have your original manual as well?

    Of course I do, AC1 was my favorite game for a few years.  And in my opinion an awesome mmorpg because of all the unique ideas.  I loved the game so much I would actually sit down and read through the entire manual every now and then.  Good times.  Just wish they hadn't turned it into a grind fest and I wish lower levels weren't so dang easy.

    I even saved the old style PC box, you know the ones that were really big hehe.  I also have the beta disc from a computer gaming magazine lol...

    I thought we have had some great patches since Throne of Destiny. The dev team of today is very good.

    Seriously they created one of the best games ever, although from what I've heard they never intended Asheron's Call to be the way it was... so maybe the created one of the best mistakes ever.

    Yes, they've had alot of Rollover at Turbine because they always seem to take the AC Team and reassign them to work on their current project.... whether it was AC2, DDO, or LOTR:Online.

    Jeff Crowley is the current AC Live Producer... and I know that Rick "Jessica" Mulligan was another AC Live Producer at one time... but many people point to Jessica as a reason that AC took a nose dive instead of gaining on EQ...

    AC just has a serious identity crisis going on, it's almost embarrassing showing people the AC:ToD box because there is some Seasame Street looking guy on the front & and he's fighting PENGUINS on the back??? LOL??? When you look at the boxes from other games, it always shows a hunting party attacking some gargantuan beast or something else more intense than a group of penguins. I don't even show people screenshots anymore, I instead link them to these amazing PvP videos...

    Are you saying that "Jessica" is a nickname for that person, and his real first name is "Rick"? Why they hell would a guy nickname himself "Jessica"???
