Asheron's Call is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). This means that you can interact with hundreds (even thousands) of other players while exploring the gameworld provided by the game developers. Like most RPGs, you start off in Asheron's Call as a rank beginner. As you gain experience, you gain power. Character development is skill-based, rather than level-based or class-based.
