The much-heralded 100th Asheron's Call update has finally arrived! In addition to new areas and monsters, it notably adds in the highly anticipated faction system, with three distinct societies that players can join. There are also two new towns which may be captured in PvP. The society that controls a town will have access to the Black Market, which sells special items unavailable anywhere else.
A new tier of loot has been added -- mostly for levels 150 and up -- which includes armor sets for players above level 180 and items used in crafting new spells. Yep, there are new spells -- a whole level of them in fact! Level 8 spells may either be researched in the traditional way, or learned via combination of certain item drops from the new tier.
The complete release notes, including details on how to acquire items in the new loot tier, are available at Turbine's AC website. This is a huge update (accompanied, of course, by the August event), and it's a great time to feel proud that you're among the special few playing Asheron's Call today.

How about one of you "online petition" folks get a petition for adding a new graphics engine AND NOTHING ELSE to asherons call? I would drop every single game im playing now if they did that. I would have never quit playing it if it wasnt for the lego looking avatars. Best MMO ever, how come no one else has done a classless mmo?

No one else? Quite a few people have. Though the only popular one atm is EVE that I can think of.
