Asheron’s Call 2 Preview @ GameSpot

GameSpot has posted a three-page preview of Asheron’s Call 2, based upon the ongoing beta test. Check it out:

One of the most compelling reasons to put together a group of characters is to explore the Vaults of Dereth, Asheron’s Call 2’s brand-new series of challenging, monster-filled dungeons, which will be tied to various quests in the game. Quests can be as simple as fetching an item and carrying it to a certain character or as complex as exploring and conquering a huge dungeon full of tough monsters. As a reward, your character may receive a brief beneficial magical spell effect or powerful new items and lots of bonus experience points. In any case, Asheron’s Call 2’s larger, more-complex quests will tie directly into the game’s story and will undoubtedly change as the game matures and the world of Dereth changes over the course of the coming months.
