I remember checking out Ascalon threads a long (really long) time ago, and were impressed by all different things you could do ingame, and the ability to ´build your own character´ as the time goes. I´m not used to play this sort of servers/games, but Ascalon actually makes me wanna try.
I have just read all the guides, information, wikia etc, and I might check it out anytime in the future to see what it´s like, because I am again impressed of the RPG-style of it.
