Asheron’s Call Beta Test Announced

March 18, 1999: The MSN Gaming Zone says at an undisclosed time on Friday, March 26, gamers will be able to sign up here for the chance to be Asheron's Call beta testers.

Asheron's Call Beta Test Announced hits the March 1999 news desk on March 18, 1999. The MSN Gaming Zone says at an undisclosed time on Friday, March 26, gamers will be able to sign up here for the chance to be Asheron's Call beta testers.

A select group of applicants will become exclusive early beta testers for this highly anticipated role-playing game. Would-be contestants will want to check the site frequently, because the form will be posted at an unspecified time, in order to give everyone a chance to become part of the program. Not every story comes with screenshots, but this is the sort of move that changes what players actually see later.
