Turbine Edit

Second Nature Edit

An old Turbine page (http://staff.turbinegames.com/ web archive) links to http://www.2ni.com/ calling it Turbine's corporate site. 2ni likely refers to Second Nature Inc, which was the company's name prior to being called Turbine.

Turbine's Beta Site Edit

Turbine's earliest Asheron's Call site was located at http://www.zogblaster.com/tweb/asherons-call/index.html. The earliest entry on the main page was dated at February 26th, 1999, and the last entry was dated at May 24th, 1999,

Turbine relocated this site to http://www.turbinegames.com/asherons-call/index.html. The style and layout remained the same. They continued to update this site, with the last entry on the main site dated at November 16th, 1999.

Turbine's Unfinished Beta/Retail Site Edit

Turbine's next Asheron's Call site was located at http://www.turbinegames.com/ac/ac_default.htm. From what is available on the web archive, this seems to have been the next iteration of the original beta site, with much of the content ported over. The site layout was revamped, and there were many new sections. However, most of these new sections seem to have never been created.
