    Ok, we beggled. We wheeded. We even asked nicely. But you still didn't buy Asheron's Call.

    Ok, now you don't have to.

    Try this free download of Asheron's Call, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. You can DL the whole game.

    Try it for 30 days. Look for Kao Chun, Kao the Lesser, Nul Vod, Shannon Ralp, or Shane Ralp. We'll hook you up.

    Please, connecting cult sentence with Asheron's Crap is a blasphemy.
    How much does MS pay you for those commercials?

    Instead of pestering people, why don't you write down a nice review with comparision between NWN and AC? You know: if we should spend money on AC right now, or rather keep it and wait for NWN.

    If there is not a single reason to buy that game except *you* thing it's great, then my resistance is not futile.
    And if you continue with that "you must 'coz I say you must" behavior, I'll buy NWN and play NWN and even praise NWN just because of your madness similar to Septic's with B&W game which was total plagiarization of an old idea.
    You don't like this? Me neither.

    We will never surrender! Prepare to be boarded.

    *ahem* I think I'd rather use the cash to buy Star Trek movies. Try MUDs instead, some good ones are totally free. You can even play at work with telnet ;)

    [​IMG] It's free eh? I better download it quick :)

    (I finally persuaded microsoft's site to let me get it)

    [Edit]

    Ugh, having waited a fair while for the 110 MB file to finish downloading, I find out that I still need to have a credit card to play, despite the whol 'free coupon' thing. Ah well...

    What about the 'try it for 30 days' part? Sounds like you have to pay after that. Not that I have a credit card anyway, I prefer to buy things with cash.

    They need your credit card to start the subscription, but the first month isn't charged.

    that's right, Microsoft won't be getting 1 cent from you. They'll be getting $9.95 a month. :)
