Back in the late 90s, the PC game market was abuzz with the potential for the MMO-genre. The success of games like Everquest and Ultima Online meant that the market was primed for an influx of similar games that would hope to topple the reining kings. Microsoft wasn't about to allow rival Sony's Everquest to go unchallenged, so they funded a start-up company to create Asheron's Call, a game that was to become the last of the original "Big Three" to be released. It was a game that I played for well over five years, a game that I still play to this day.
