For new and former players, Legions is likely not what is needed to bring them into Dereth for the first time or for a triumphal return. I would more strongly recommend that former and new players alike seek out the free trial on the Asheron's Call 2 website in order to see what Turbine has done with their updates since their liberation from Microsoft. The difference between the AC2 of today and the much-maligned AC2 of the past can be experienced risk-free without having to buy Legions. And if you find AC2 to be what you're looking for – a game with a tight player base, a responsive dev team, and a unique skill system – then by all means, please, buy Legions and return Turbine the support they've been showing their players, against nearly all odds, for almost three years.
