Asheron’s Call emulation is alive and well as its plugin framework just got a big update

Asheron’s Call is a MMORPG that first launched in 1999 and has since been shut down by its original company, Turbine. However, the game still holds cult status for its incredible customization options and sweltering PvP action. The most recent update to this MMO was done through an open plugin framework which means anyone can create plugins for it- even you!

The “asheron’s call private server 2021” is a game that has been around for over two decades. The game has just received a big update to its plugin framework.

Fans of Asheron’s Call are in for a real treat today! Readers may remember that the original and beloved Asheron’s Call debuted 22 years ago this month, but it was put on hold for years under Turbine until being officially retired in 2016 when Standing Stone broke away from Turbine and joined Team Daybreak. As a result, users have been forced to screw about on various pirate servers while avoiding cease-and-desist orders from Warner Bros.

However, with the introduction of a new public beta for the 20-year-old Decal this week, the community has progressed. What exactly is Decal? It’s the third-party plugin framework for the game that allows developers, modders, and rogue server runners to “dramatically extend functionality beyond what’s possible in the game client,” according to Asheron DB, which broke the news first. This is the framework’s first update in over eight years. Some of these modifications bring much-needed features to the classic MMO, such as map HUDs and trade, as well as loyalty management and player monitoring.

Asheron DB’s Jesse Overton says, “Decal being updated after all this time is a signal of the activity going on within a small but dedicated group of plugin developers who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible within the Asheron’s Call client, which is helping keep the game alive in its post-shutdown era.”

Of course, since this is a beta, you may not want to download the most recent version right away, and even if you do, you’ll need a rogue server to use it with, which you’ll need the emulator for. There seem to be various servers from which to pick.

Several players have been working on the Asheron’s Call Community Preservation Project, or ACCPP, for the past year, a group dedicated to finding and preserving old applications, plugins, articles, screenshots, and artwork from the game – digital ephemera, not just the game files themselves, though that is certainly a part of it. If you have anything AC-related on an old hard drive, you should consider sending it their way.

Once again, Asheron’s Call, happy birthday.
