The next in the line for a preview of Asheron's Call - Dark Majesty, based on GenCon impressions, is Gamespot. Here's a bit of what they have to say:
One of the most significant additions that Dark Majesty will make to the original Asheron's Call is housing. Players will be able to purchase three different kinds of houses, though the largest housing, the mansion, is intended for associated legions of players. Housing in Dark Majesty seems more or less complete. Once players purchase houses, they'll get a deed to their property and "activate" the house with a special crystal outside of it. Houses can be used to store belongings, both in an empty chest (which has 50 item slots) and on specific spaces that can be decorated with rugs, furs, and other types of furniture. Houses in Dark Majesty will be completely secure--house owners will have special guest lists to which they can add player names, and all other players will be kept out of the house through a magical force field. Should uninvited guests somehow sneak onto the premises, they'll be limited to walking, jumping, and talking, and they may not interact with any items or guests in the house. Mansions will let associated guilds of players congregate in one place, and they will actually feature an empty add-on dungeon area (accessible by teleport portal) that'll let large groups of players travel to and fro without getting stuck. Player vs. player combat will be strictly forbidden in houses between guests and intruders, though guests may fight against each other, so groups of friends will be able to stage friendly duels easily without having to worry about hostile monsters or interference from other players. The development team has yet to finalize the cost of housing in the expansion, but it's clear that housing will likely be an expensive luxury. The expansion will ship with about 1,000 available houses, though the development team may add more as time passes. |
