Asheron's Call - Image 1And now we have here the April 2009 Release Notes for Asheron's Call. Turbine's promising a whole lot of changes now that "the snow has all melted away, and Baby Creatures have appeared on the landscape."

Check out the list:

  • The XP on Moarsmen Isle and Freebooter Isle landscape creatures has been increased.
  • A new bottle style quest has been added that begins with a note that will drop from a particular type of creatures. The dungeon for this quest may not be what most players expect.

  • Spring has finally arrived. The snow has melted and baby creatures are appearing on the landscape once again.
