Though technically an expansion pack, this release contains the full version of the original Asheron's Call in addition to several new features and improvements. Perhaps top on the list is the popularly requested ability for players to build their own houses and store items and equipment safely in the game world of Dereth. The expansion package also adds a large new landmass to the world of Asheron's Call, complete with new towns to visit, monsters to battle, and quests to fulfill. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
