Asheron's Call Server Profile

Asheron's Call closed its official servers on January 31, 2017, after more than 17 years online. The community has kept it playable since through open-source emulator projects, though population has shrunk substantially from the game's early-2000s peak — this is a title for players chasing nostalgia for one of the genre's true pioneers rather than a bustling modern MMO.

Wipe & Reset History

Asheron's Call's private-server scene spans many independently-run GDLE and ACEmulator projects rather than one unified server, so wipe policy varies by which server you join — some community servers reset periodically with new rulesets, others aim to stay persistent. Check the specific server you're considering before committing playtime.

Wipe and fresh-server announcements for Asheron's Call are posted on treestats.net first.

Getting Started on Asheron's Call

Asheron's Call runs GDLE/ACE Emulation (active since 2017). Joining takes three steps; where treestats.net gives different instructions, follow those.

1
Visit the official site. Go to treestats.net to confirm the server is currently active and find the current client or launcher download.
2
Download the client or launcher. Get the Asheron's Call client or launcher from the download linked on treestats.net, not from a third-party mirror or an old Asheron's Call retail install.
3
Create an account and log in. Make the account on treestats.net with a password you use nowhere else. A community-run server does not have an official publisher’s account-recovery or security team behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe and legal to play on a private server?

The Asheron's Call servers covered here are unofficial and run GDLE/ACE Emulation, and like most private servers they operate without a license from the game’s publisher. Asheron's Call has been running long enough to build a track record; as with any private server, use a unique password and don't reuse account credentials from other sites.

How do I get started on Asheron's Call?

Visit the official website at https://treestats.net/servers for the current client download and setup instructions. Use the client or launcher linked there rather than a retail Asheron's Call install.
