Microsoft has the latest July 1999 move: Asheron’s Call beta keeps moving toward holiday release. Microsoft says that the massively multiplayer role-playing game, Asheron’s Call, continues to make fantastic progress and remains on schedule for a holiday release. To help commemorate this, an online event was held last weekend in which a dark champion was unleashed into the unsuspecting lands of Dereth. Bestowed with the title Wardiel the Mighty, this evil avatar caused considerable chaos and strife throughout the lands of Dereth before finally succumbing to the combined might of a hastily assembled entourage of heroes.
