BartleSkeetHG — Asheron's Call, still alive

Why play here

The game as it was

End-of-retail Asheron's Call with very few changed elements. The quests, dungeons and loot you remember work the way you remember them.

Built to last

This isn't a weekend project. The server has been running for years and keeps getting new additions, carefully, without breaking what made AC great.

PvE and community

A player-versus-environment world with a friendly community. News, help and suggestions all live in our Discord.

Our story

When Asheron's Call went dark on January 31, 2017, this server didn't. It has been online ever since, kept running by a player who first stepped into Dereth in 1999 and never really left.

This is the host's third emulator server. It started on AC Emulator, moved to GDLE, and has now found its home on ACE, with the world carried forward at every step. The goal has always been the same: permanence. A place that will still be here years from now, growing slowly and carefully into what Asheron's Call should have become.

That means regular backups, steady upkeep and a lot of care, so nothing you build here is ever lost. Whether you're coming back after years away or seeing Dereth for the first time, welcome home.

How to play

Server address: bartleskeethg.bartleskeet.com:9000

Get the Asheron's Call client set up on a Windows PC. Ask in Discord if you need help with this step.
Install ThwargLauncher, the standard launcher for AC emulator servers. Decal is optional if you want plugins.
Find BartleskeetHG in ThwargLauncher's published server list, or add it by hand: emulator ACE, host bartleskeethg.bartleskeet.com, port 9000.
Create your account by entering a new username and password in the launcher. ACE servers usually create the account on your first login.
Connect. The server keeps your game data files up to date when you connect, so there's nothing extra to download. Make a character and step into Dereth.
