In a recent addition of the Industry Standard, a print magazine about the web industry, a pretty lengthy article about online gaming mentions Age of King, and Asheron's Call. IF you'd like to check it out, it's the November 15th issue with Bill Gates on the cover.

Combat within Asheron's Call is more sophisticated than pointing, clicking and waiting. Players choose from three different attack target areas (low, middle, high), and from various attacks. It will actually pay off to swing low to take out an opponent's unarmored legs, or swing high to take the head off a creature who has foolishly left its head unprotected. This level of interactivity brings an end to automatic combat, in which people can start fighting, walk away from the keyboard, and then return to the fight.
