Welcome to all you new players!

If you've never played an Online RPG before (known as a MMORPG for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) you are in for a new experience. Unlike other computer games, MMORPGs are played with others from around the world. It combines game play with great online socializing. This guide is designed to help you get started in the world of Dereth.

Even if you have played MMORPGs before, we suggest reading through this guide as well.  Although MMORPGs have many similarities, in many ways Asheron's Call is different than the rest.  You'll have to throw away your expectations and approach this from a new mindset.

If you have the itching to get in and play, you'll need a few things.  The first would be an account.  You can purchase a new account at [http://store.turbine.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=AddItemToRequisition&SiteID=turbine&Locale=en_US&productID=42828800 The Turbine Store].  After you have your account, you'll need to download the [http://content.turbine.com/sites/clientdl/ac1/ac1install.exe Client] from the official Asheron's Call [http://ac.turbine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=8&Itemid=62 site].

After you have established your account and downloaded and installed the client, you'll need to pick a server.  This part is easiest if you already know someone that plays.  If you don't though, visit the [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29 New Players Forum] on Turbine's website, or if you're daring enough, you can browse the various official [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43 Server Forums].  There are generally players, just like you, looking for information on the servers. There aren't restrictions on playing more than one server, so if you don't like the server you picked, you can always try another one.
