Asheron’s Call Beta on Newsstands

Asheron’s Call is moving through beta, so players willing to deal with crashes, weirdness and unfinished edges can get in early.

The useful part: Following last week’s announcement in which news of this exclusive opportunity was first released, Microsoft says gamers can now participate in the exclusive beta of Asheron’s Call by purchasing the November issue of Computer Games that is now officially available at newsstands. As word of this beta availability spreads, the MSN Gaming Zone is expecting thousands of fans to flood their servers. Asheron’s Call is an epic, massively multiplayer, role-playing game developed by Turbine Entertainment. If the download behaves, this is the cheapest way to find out whether the hype has legs.
