The latest expansion pack for Microsoft's MMORPG Asheron's Call: Dark Majesty has scored a 93% rating in a review conducted by Gamezilla.
Here's an interesting insight:My biggest (really my only) complaint with AC:DM is the box cover. After all the good feedback they’ve gotten about how non-sexist the game is (female characters actually able to wear full armor and not just tinfoil bikinis) it’s really disappointing to find a female war mage on the box dressed in something nearly identical to the outfit worn by the High Elf on the Everquest box covers. This clothing item doesn’t even exist (as drawn) in-game because the character model doesn’t really allow for midriff-baring, and most clothing and armor is unisex. (The one revealing clothing item in-game caused a huge uproar when it was first released.) Besides, most war mages don’t have much in the way of Melee Defense, so they’re always covered in armor anyway. That some twit in Marketing was allowed to let this design go on the shelf (or perhaps even encouraged, as a selling point) is a major letdown. Here’s a big ol’ shot of Force Bolt VI upside the head (from my *fully-armored* war mage) to whoever made that decision. Let lesser games pander to the hairy-palmed adolescent crowd. Asheron's Call is above that.
