Property in Mougins
The village of Mougins is located in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Southeast of France, and just a 15 minute drive from the famously elegant resort of Cannes. Mougins is both picturesque, surrounded by forests and dramatic scenery, and historic, with much of the property in Mougins being full of traditional character. The village itself consists of a great many older houses, lining narrow cobbled streets, dotted with rainbows of flowers and carefully planted trees which provide blissful shade on the hottest of Provencal days. Seemingly around every corner is a statue, both ancient and modern, and all roads in Mougins do not lead to Rome, but rather a spectacular fountain at the very heart of the old town. Property in Mougins is located in one of the prettiest hilltop villages in the area, but has much more to offer than just a beautiful village with spectacular views of the sea, mountains and countryside.
Mougins can boast links to, arguably, some of the most famous names of the 20th century. Pablo Picasso spent the last 12 years of his life living in a property in Mougins, choosing a 'mas' (farmhouse) at Notre-Dame-de-Vie. This small hilltop beside the old village is crowned by a 12th century chapel of the same name, and Picasso's property in Mougins boasts spectacular views across the historic centre and to the Bay of Cannes beyond, which, no doubt, inspired his art. Picasso's studio can be found in the old village, and possibly the most famous property in Mougins now serves the community as the tourist office. Another property in Mougins that was once a studio is that of Fernand Léger, which is located above what is now the village wine shop.
As with much of the region, food and wine are important to the culture of the area, but few places more so than Mougins, famed, as it is, for its numerous gourmet restaurants. The village hosts the 'International Gastronomy Festival of Mougins' ('Les Étoiles de Mougins') every September, and several famous chefs have managed restaurants in the village. One of the restaurants, L'Amandier, is housed in perhaps the most important property in Mougins, which was the court house of the Monks of Saint Honorat in the Middle Ages, before being transformed into an almond mill in the 18th/19th centuries, leading to the name of the restaurant.
Due to the close proximity of the village to Cannes, many big Hollywood names, both past and present, have been known to frequent the village. Mougins is one of those rare places where luxury and tranquillity combine seamlessly, and much of the property in Mougins can boast of famous names beneath its roof. For many years Elizabeth Taylor hosted charity dinners for the Hollywood elite, and today Mougins is the perfect place to 'rub shoulders with the stars'.
Property is Mougins is diverse, with large private estates suitable for the Hollywood greats, character-filled farmhouses located in the tranquil countryside, surrounded by pine forests and olive groves, and historic village houses and apartments. Some of the property in Mougins dates to the medieval period, when the village was under the control of the Monks of Saint Honorat. During this period, Mougins was a fortified village, with ramparts and a medieval wall with three gate towers. While many of these fortifications were destroyed in the 18th century, during the War of Austrian Succession, parts of the medieval wall and the Porte Sarrazine gate tower still stand. The old town was substantially extended in the early 19th century, and often village property in Mougins dates from this period, in charming narrow flower-filled streets. One of the attractions of property in Mougins is the spectacular scenery. The 260m height of the village allows 360-degree views over the Côte d'Azur. To the south there are sea views of the Mediterranean and the Bay of Cannes, to the northeast the Maritime Alps provide a stunning backdrop to the village, and to the northwest lies the village of Grasse, famous for its perfumeries and fields of lavender and roses.
In the countryside surrounding the village, property in Mougins can be found near to the beautifully maintained golf courses of the Royal Mougins Golf Resort and the Cannes-Mougins Golf Club. Beyond L'Etang de Fontmerie, which provides a large open area surrounding a small, shallow lake filled with lotus flowers, perfect for strolls and picnics, is the Valmasque Forest, which covers 427 hectares and almost surrounds the village, and is perfect for hiking and horse riding.
Despite the historic feel of the old town, property in Mougins offers a wealth of nearby facilities. As well as the elegant and modern facilities of Cannes, just a short drive away, the village has its own international school, supermarket and small shopping mall to serve the population of almost 20,000. In addition, the village's connection with famous artists and long history ensure that there are also a great many cultural facilities. The Mougins Museum of Cultural Art was opened in May 2011 and displays a vast collection of Roman, Egyptian and Greek antiquities, alongside modern and contemporary art with a classical theme, including works by Picasso, Matisse and Damien Hirst. Among many other galleries and museums, the Galerie Elegance also exhibits work by French artists, and the long history of the village is arguably best seen by visiting some of the more important historic property in Mougins, such as the 11th century church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur in the heart of the village.
Property in Mougins can be easily reached by car, train and bus from Cannes. The nearest airport, Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, is just 18km away, with both domestic and international flights.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Shaquille O'Neal ended his media
boycott Friday, saying he and Kobe Bryant need each other and he's put the feud with his Los Angeles Lakers teammate behind him.
"It happens, it's over with, we just have to move on," O'Neal
said before the Lakers flew to Phoenix for a game on Saturday
night. "He's boisterous. I'm boisterous. I don't take anything
O'Neal hadn't spoken with reporters since Sunday, when he said
after practice that the Lakers were "my team," adding that Bryant
needed to be more of a team player -- an observation based on two
exhibition games last week.
O'Neal had sniped at Bryant several times previously during the
preseason, who has been ordered to stand trial on a sexual assault
charge in Colorado.
Bryant ripped into O'Neal during a telephone interview with ESPN
on Monday, calling him "childlike," "unprofessional,"
"selfish," "fat" and "jealous."
It was the first overt sign of hostility between the superstars
since midway through the 2000-01 season, when their simmering feud
went public.
"We just have to move on and focus on what's good for the
team," an upbeat O'Neal said after practice Friday. "I wasn't
upset. If somebody's used to it, it's us. We know how to have a
tough skin."
"In a marriage, if you keep talking about a problem the problem
won't go away. It happened, we just have to move on. If you say
something, a person can take things positively or negatively. We
both took it negatively."
When asked if he felt comfortable with Bryant as a teammate,
O'Neal replied: "Of course. I need him, he needs me, we need each
other. He's the ying. I'm the yang. Opposites attract. We're just
different. Off the court, he does his thing. Off the court, I do my
O'Neal and Bryant led the Lakers to three straight championships
from 2000-2002. They were eliminated last May by eventual champion
San Antonio in the Western Conference semifinals.
Bryant said earlier in the week that he had put the feud behind
him, but O'Neal refused comment until Friday.
Then, after beating teammate Karl Malone 3-1 in a 3-point shooting contest, instead of avoiding reporters as he left the court, he met them with a smile.
"I'm good, I'm cool today," he said.
Bryant spoke with reporters after sitting out Tuesday night's
109-93 season-opening victory because of soreness and weakness in
his surgically repaired right knee and again Wednesday and
Thursday, but didn't do so Friday.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he was "pretty optimistic" that
Bryant would play against the Suns but a decision wouldn't be made
until sometime Saturday.
"He does wear down," Jackson said. "We thought he tired less
in this practice than he does in most of them. We'll make
adjustments during the game as far as how much time he plays."
Regarding O'Neal, Jackson said: "He's in a good mood. He has
been since Tuesday. Everything's been downhill for us."
Before the game against the Mavericks, Jackson described
O'Neal's mood as somber. O'Neal had been somewhat hostile with the
media in the days leading up to Friday, but was pleasant and
clearly in good spirits during a five-minute interview session.
"It's not as big as people think it is," Malone said about the
O'Neal-Bryant matter. "Let's move on. We could talk about it all
year. Let it die, it's over with."
Regarding the events of the last few days, Malone said: "It's
been practice as usual -- guys getting after it. That's all we've
been talking about."

The Reynolds defence against libel claims has been redefined after a crucial House of Lords judgment in favour of Finers Stephens Innocent client The Wall Street Journal.
Last week (11 October) the Lords handed down a unanimous judgment in favour of The Journal, widening the Reynolds public interest defence, which protects newspapers against defamation claims in the process.
Saudi Arabian businessman Mohammed Jameel and his company sued the newspaper for libel after a February 2002 article alleging that bank accounts associated with Jameel and other Saudi companies had been monitored by Saudi authorities at the request of US authorities to ensure that the company was not providing money to terrorists.
The article was part of a wider investigation into the extent of Saudi cooperation into the 'war on terror'.
Geoffrey Robertson QC of Doughty Street Chambers, for the newspaper, argued that if there was public interest in publishing the article, this could be defeated only by proof of malice or negligence in the publication.
Both Mr Justice Eady in the High Court and the Court of Appeal had upheld the claim, awarding £40,000 in damages. However, in their judgment the Lords widened the Reynolds defence, ensuring that if a journalist and editor act responsibly they are protected by a public interest argument.
Giving the leading decision, Lord Hoffmann said: "If the article as a whole is in the public interest, opinions may reasonably differ over which details are needed to convey the general message. The fact that the judge, with the advantage of leisure and hindsight, might have made a different editorial decision should not destroy the defence."
Finers head of international Mark Stephens told The Lawyer: "The House of Lords has got fed up with the way in which Reynolds is being misinterpreted, essentially treating each of the 10 Reynolds factors as a trip wire which can open a bear trap for the media at any moment."
A costs hearing is yet to happen, but the newspaper's costs are likely to run into several million pounds.
Andrew Stephenson of Carter-Ruck acted for Jameel, instructing James Price QC of 5 Raymond Buildings.

All ext3 data modes obey those instructions correctly. > Now, if I were to use ordered mode. Everything would be in the right > place on the disk in the above scenario. If the application asks for sync data, yes. If not, then neither writeback nor ordered data mode will make that guarantee --- in both cases the filesystem will write the data back asynchronously. The only difference is that the ordered mode guarantees that the data is flushed before the metadata, whereas writeback mode doesn't make that guarantee. Cheers, Stephen

[recipe & photo courtesy of Spicelines; original recipe by James Oseland, published in his book Cradle of Flavor]
2 cups sifted cake flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
1-1/2 cups unsalted butter (3 sticks), at room temperature, plus more
for greasing
1-2/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch tube pan with 3-1/2-inch sides (or, my preference, use a nonstick pan of the same size but don't grease and flour it).
Resift the flour along with the baking powder, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and salt into a bowl.
In another bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter until it's soft and very pliant, about 1 minute (or 4 to 6 minutes by hand with a wooden spoon). Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes (or 6 to 8 minutes by hand).
One at a time, add the 4 whole eggs and beat on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes (or 5 minutes by hand).
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 equal parts, beating on low speed or stirring with the wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and the flour is well combined with the butter mixture. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and continue to beat or stir until they're well mixed into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Place on the middle oven rack and bake until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour (though I'd recommend checking it after 45 minutes).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. If necessary, carefully run a thin knife around the perimeter and the inner rim of the cake to help loosen it from the pan. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift it off of the cake. Turn the cake right side up and let it cool on the rack.
Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice into wedges, and serve this aromatic Indonesian Spice Cake with a cup of hot tea!

When it comes toward starting a blog. The most though job is the selection of most profitable niche in blogging that have greater demand, big community high authority and low competition. But unfortunately it's one of the hard work and mostly the newbie bloggers are failed while choosing their niche. I have seen so many people who says that passion is everything. But only following passion is not the key toward success. If you want to build authority, if you want to become popular and if you want to earn money from your living room. Than you would need to slightly change you're thought and select the niche that have some demand. Also you must know about the niche that what reader actually want from you and how can you convert your reader into customer by selling product online.
But before going to select any niche lets decide on which topic you are actually building a blog.
Well so easy "I will target the whole technology market" or blogging or Traveling niche…
Fine but we can't say this is blogging. Because such type of work need a team of professional blogger who can write on every aspect of selected market. At least 5-20 post per day. Which is I think not possible for a starter who have no knowledge of even selecting a niche.
Before going to explore the most profitable niche to start blogging in 2015 lets set and ask some question from yourself?
1) Why I am choosing this niche?
Have you noticed while attending a class of your favorite teacher and Non favorite teacher?You feel comfortable, happy and have a wish in mind that teacher take a lengthy class. While on other side when you are setting in a non-favorite or a teacher whom you don't like class. You will be feeling uncomfortable, with a wish of shorter class. Same in the case of choosing a niche, by selecting such niche which bring happiness and smile on your face while write a piece of content on it is the best one niche for you and your blog. You will write quality content because you love your passion. The topic or niche may be related to any of your interest. Ask from yourself and you will get the answer.
2) DO you have any background knowledge?
The main question which arise here is that many newbies haven't much knowledge on the niche that choose. So what they do… First question is ask from yourself? Are you ready for writing on selected niche? Because blogging is all about leaning and experiencing new things. So don't be afraid of telling the people that you are newbie and the purpose to write on this is all about learning new things. But one thing to remember. Don't share false information just for the sake of traffic.
3) Check your Niche popularity
As you like to search and read only those topic in which you have interest, same other people too. So the best think before the selection of a niche is to do proper research. Search Google, Facebook groups and pages, LinkedIn twitter use different tools, study magazine and know that how many people are interested in your niche.
There are many tools through which you can determine the market size. Some of them are:
Keyword planner
Traffic Travis
Search Google and you will find the answer
Search Facebook with hashtag
Market samurai
4) How Many other Blogs are covering the same Topic?
Here come two probability while selecting the most profitable niche in blogging. May be you find a niche market which have low competition and higher searches or having low competition in the day of choosing your niche but may have higher demand in future. While the 2nd probability is either you choose such on which there may be thousands of weblogs and contents. In the case of if you choose the 2nd option. Just ask 1 question may I get succeed? If you find yourself in doubt, don't go for it. But if you have believe on yourself just close your eyes and select the niche. There are more chances of getting succeed if you go for the 1st 1 due to low competition and future market expansion.
So my advice is do not make it harder for yourself. The hard work which you want to spent on ranking your competitive website is better to spend on such website which can take less time in ranking and generating income.
5) Examine your Competitor blogs
The most common thing which I have found in our blogger community especially in Asian countries are they check there competitor weblogs and write the same post as they have seen there. In a result all their effort become 0. Always ask and try one thing "What can I do better from my competitor"?
For the purpose to do something better, cursor down to the comment section and read the comments. You will find very interesting topic for your blog. Search online forums like worriorforum, inbound.org and many others. Always try to do SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) analysis of your competitor weblog.
6) Is there Enough Topics on the Niche you are covering?
Blogger have 3 main source for writing contents. The one is his/her previous knowledge learnt from different sources. The 2nd source is what he is seeking now a days and what his thought for future either lunching a product or doing the same thing of what and how is. To know how much knowledge you have in the field? Just set down and start brainstorming different weblog post. May be some of them came fast but after some time you will find yourself in a cave with no light. But after thinking for some time you will start getting light of new topics. Just try to collect at least 30-50 content for your favorite chosen niche.
Writing articles for technology and news type website is not as difficult as their lot of new thing invent and happen on daily basis.
And the last one is:
how i will generate Income from the selected list of most profitable niche?
The last question which you have to ask from yourself is that is there any way to generate income from the selected niche? There are many channel by implementing them you can get decent amount of money, but let's research first. Either those methods are accurate to your blog topics.
Let's check the list below for the niche you want to target:

UPS was undone in December by a big increase in online shopping and a crush of last-minute orders by shoppers who jumped on offers of free shipping until the final days before Christmas. An unusually late Thanksgiving added to UPS' challenge by shrinking the traditional shopping-and-shipping season by several days.

3:10 to Yuma (2007) / Western-Action
MPAA Rated: R for violence, brief nudity and some language
Running time: 117 min.
Cast: Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Logan Lerman, Ben Foster, Dallas Roberts, Peter Fonda, Alan Tudyk, Gretchen Mol, Vinessa Shaw, Luce Rains
Director: James Mangold
Screenplay: Halsted Welles, Michael Brandt, Derek Haas (based on the short story by Elmore Leonard)
Review published September 14, 2007
2007's version of 3:10 to Yuma is the right way to remake a classic film. Instead of a complete rehash with saltier material, or something so divergent as to be unrecognizable, the screenplay by Michael Brand and Derek Haas (who've previously collaborated on some not-so-impressive efforts like (2 Fast 2 Furious and Catch That Kid) retools Halsted Welles' original work, remaining largely faithful with its strong parts, while fixing a few of the weakness that kept a good Western from being a great one. The whiny kids are replaced by at least one very proactive one. The dumb sidekick is replaced by a posse of men respectable and flawed, but all interesting. The ending of the film, which is perhaps the biggest criticism of the Delmer Daves version, has completely changed. Although not everyone will like the change, there probably won't be any argument that the final 20 minutes are about as riveting and disturbing as there's been in the genre in many a year.
Christian Bale (The Prestige, Batman Begins) plays Dan Evans, a war amputee that has all but lost his ranch to a wealthy landowner when he can't grow much in crops for a lengthy period. He needs cash order to pay the man off, but no money's coming in. He gets a chance to earn $200 for escorting a notorious outlaw, Ben Wade (Crowe, Cinderella Man), from his town to catch the train to Yuma prison, where Wade is sure to be hanged. Wade is a crafty one, and deadly. With Wade's men out to get him free at any cost, it's a dangerous quest to get Wade to his destination to begin with, and even more to get him on the train in time.
The original 3:10 to Yuma was ahead of its time, with its psychological underpinnings and more serious themes than most oaters of its era. Most of today's westerns, what few there are, are of this sophisticated tradition, so this remake isn't so much revolutionary as evolutionary. It's not a Western going for gritty realism by any means, as director Mangold (Walk the Line, Identity) sees many scenes from an action-oriented perspective, but he does set the tone for this early enough that it stays consistent. The actors are a real strength, with Bale doing a very fine job in showing Evans to be a plain man with an unremarkable life, so very disappointing to his son (Lerman, The Number 23) that thirsts for men of adventure. By contrast, Crowe plays his role appropriately charismatic, although toned down in charm from Ford's original performance, making him much more menacing and compulsive.
One of the interesting things about the film is the handling of the supporting characters, all of whom enhance the movie. To contrast Evans, his posse contains a veterinarian (Tudyk, Serenity) who is purely good, and perhaps more timid, but willing to do what it takes to finally feel like he's become a hero. By the same token, Peter Fonda (Ghost Rider, Cannonball Run) plays McElroy, a man who claims to be moral and just, but executes his manner of justice in ways that a man like Ben Wade find more reprehensible than anything he does -- McElroy willingly kills people who don't deserve killing while Wade does what he can not to unless necessary. In contrast to Wade, the second in command in his band of outlaws is Charlie Prince (Foster, X-Men: The Last Stand), a much more dark force that helps to contrast Wade as an outlaw by choice rather than by design. There isn't any evident sense of decency to Prince at all, while the Bible-quoting, occasionally compassionate Wade probably turned out bad because he didn't see or understand what merit there is in being good.
One of the notable themes to change probably reflects the changes that have occurred in the value system of American in the 50 years that have passed between both films. In the original, Evans did what he did in spite of being given a reason not to because it was the moral and right thing to do. The Evans of today is much more complicated than that, weighing all options, but deciding to continue because of a need to prove self-worth. It's not a conviction of morals so much as a conviction of not wanting to feel like half a man anymore, financially, physically, and in the eyes of his family. A man doesn't perform his duties because of a perfunctory belief in a value system -- he does it because it's what makes a man be a man. In this way, 3:10 loses some of its higher aspirations, but it does become a bit more easier to grasp from a motivation standpoint. He doesn't act out of a sense of goodness o much as a desire to aspire to greatness.
I think the same can be said about the movie. It's not a moral values lesson so much as a genre exploration that blends traditional and revisionist Western techniques, taking the best of both worlds to make something that is both action-packed, thoughtful, and thrilling. Like the spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone, there is quite a bit of style on the surface, but underneath, you can see creative wheels turning, questioning the traditional value system that had once been part and parcel of Hollywood Westerns. 3:10 to Yuma is a film that offers much in gray areas, with a good guy who is deeply flawed and a bad guy who isn't rotten to the core. Like most films that depict two sides of the same coin, the desire to switch places between the men is ever evident, if not for the path they chose that prohibits them from doing so. The end of the film has the men meet half way, in a manner which is intensely gripping, and eternally beguiling at the same time. If the original's ending weakens the film, it can be argued that this version's ending makes it.

I am writing a rather long hub about living with RA, in my case I am the husband of a sufferer rather than a sufferer. It has become apparent that this new hub will be far too long to read or write in one sitting so I was wondering.
Would people find it interesting to read about the experience of a sufferer over a 14 year period and would would you follow a series if I break it up into say 5 year periods. What I can say is that our experience of RA is an unfolding roller coaster of a ride as it has yet to be brought under control, some people may find it helful to hear our experiece of symptoms, diagnosis, healthcare, medications, operations, independent living, effect on life, effect on family and the future.
Any comments most welcome.
I would like to read about your experiences as a spouse responding to the challenges of RA in your family. Chronic illness changes everything. Please write about your " rollercoaster ride ".
Thank you pinkboxer.
It is has been a life changing experience for all of us and doesn't seem to be over yet. I am about 2500 words in at the moment and think on reflection it makes sense to break it up.
Thanks again
I too would like to read your experiences because I was wrongly diagnosed with RA for sixteen years(I have fybro myalgia). However, I know you will have a lot to say and if I was you I would break it up. I still think you could write lots of quite long hubs. I'm doing a similar thing on mental health. If I just told my story in one hub I'd be writing forever.
But you can ignore this - do what feels right for you.
I am sorry too hear that.
Sometimes life becomes very dark all because of an illness that is beyond our control, I really hope that by getting our story out there it might just brighten someones day; even if that is only for a short time.
Thank you for your support.
OK, here is the first instalement of Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis, hope you like it.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Living-with-Rhe … -Arthritis
I am really pained by what I read in your hub. However, many of my friends have had considerable relief (temporary, but it still feels good, even if for some time) from topical medications!
You can also check out some info available online for cases like yours. And I also feel that diseases like these need more attention from mainstream medication industries and the media alike.
Don't you think so?
Thanks for your support.
You are most welcome buddy! Dare I suggest my pharmacy to you, provided you can arrange for a visit/consultation in any of the centres in Orange County? Read more here - http://bit.ly/dB29eF
It's only a suggestion..hope you do get well, even if it's not with my help!
Take care,
I too would love to hear about this. I am as yet undiagnosed, but suffer horribly from knee joint pain and am still waiting for my appt with a rheumatologist. I am hoping it is not RA, but most symptoms point to it. I will look forward to following your story,
Thanks, Megs
Thanks Megs
I hope it all works out for you, RA can be controlled and the new biological treatments are so much more effective when given early enough. Our story spans 14 years of uncontrolled disease activity so it's quite horrific in parts and upsetting in others but what I can say; you do learn to live with it and recognise that other people are so much worse off, so once you accept it you can move forward.
Good luck and health for the future.

Lead Game Designer Toby Ragaini and Program Manager Matthew Ford stopped by our offices today around noon to give us a demonstration of Asheron's Call as well as to drop off our coveted beta discs. As you're probably all aware, we were pretty psyched to be in the EverQuest beta test, and we're just as excited to get an early chance to jump into the world of Dereth. As a matter of fact, we've said goodbye to our loved ones and thrown our alarm clocks out the window. Where we're going, there will be no need to keep track of the time. We might just scare ourselves if we did.
In order to play Asheron's Call you'll have to access Dereth, the gameworld continent, via the MSN Gaming Zone. Dereth is approximately 24 miles across and will take a quick character running at full speed several hours to fully cross its expanse. This means that there will be plenty to fight as well as plenty of sights to take in while you're exploring. To make travel easier, a number of purple teleportation portals are scattered throughout the countryside. While this does cut travel times considerably, be cautious. You won't want to jump into any and every portal because many of the gateways do not offer two-way travel. This means if you jump into one you won't necessarily be guaranteed an easy path back. This can be particularly devastating to lower level characters who may be transported into a high level zone with no way to escape save death.
Speaking of new characters, you'll start you adventures in one of the many towns scattered throughout Dereth with only a few meager possessions to your name. "We're very intent on the new player experience," Matthew told us. "We want to satisfy the hardcore player, but we want to be friendly to the new players as well." To help with this process, Toby told us that there would be plenty of newbie areas and dungeons to explore and that lower level characters would rise in level rather quickly.
In another attempt to safeguard lower level characters, you won't have to worry about high levelers drawing big nasties onto you while you're in a newbie area. Those of you who have played EverQuest are all too familiar with the concept of 'trains.' Somebody riles up the baddest mofo at the bottom of a dungeon, can't handle the situation and runs to the top of the level with the head honcho and twenty of his friends in tow. Sir Runsalot escapes through the zone point, but lower level characters who were hunting in the easier areas of the dungeon are slaughtered mercilessly by the irate horde. While this could be particularly devastating in Asheron's Call since it is a continuous world, the designers have come up with a simple way to alleviate trains. If a high leveler brings a mob into an area, the baddies will only follow him/her. If the character prevails over surmounting odds, then job well done. But if not and that character gets walloped, the creatures will simply meander back to their homelands, choosing not to destoy every other character in sight.
So what happens if you're the engineer of that train and you do up and die? Well, like in most other MMORPGs, death won't be an end all to your game. Instead, if you die in Asheron's Call, you will respawn at the last life stone you touched. Life stones can be found throughout Dereth, so you're never too incredibly far away from a save point. However, death isn't without its punishment. Your most powerful item will be dropped where you were slain along with a portion of your pyreals, the monetary unit in AC. In addition, you will suffer a skill penalty for a short time to encourage you to save your ass by any means possible next time around. While this penalty sounds rather timid if you die just once, die too often and your skills can decrease dramatically, rendering a master warrior into a helpless ninny who carries a big sword but doesn't know how to swing it.
One of the neatest features we've heard about in AC is the allegiance system, so we asked Toby and Matthew to tell us a little more about how it works. Under the allegiance system, you can either be a Monarch, Patron or Vassal. The Monarch is the person who first started the alliance, a Patron (who is a Vassal of the Monarch) is the person who invited you into the group and the Vassals are everyone that you invite into the alliance. "It's kind of like Amway," Matthew quipped. "You'll want to bring more people into your group by rewarding them with items or money, but you'll also want to encourage them to go find other Vassals to join so you will get more experience points to distribute among your skills." Not only will you get experience if you have Vassals under you, but certain items will require you to join into the allegiance system to use, so the advantages of following (or being) a Patron become even more important. And if you feel that your Monarch isn't rewarding you enough for being a productive Patron, then you can splinter off from your faction and form your own group with your current Vassals. Take that oppresive overlord!
When asked if they were planning to go head-to-head with EverQuest, Matthew surprisingly told us, "We love the success of EverQuest. It validates the genre and really excites RPG fans. But because our worlds will be so different, we really think that people will want to play Asheron's Call as well as EverQuest." And from what we saw today, we certainly know that we'll be doing just that. Now the only question is when the hell are we going to have time to work?
After our meeting with Toby and Matthew, we rushed upstairs to install the beta. Toby told us that there were approximately 2000 people in the beta as of now and, when we got onto the zone, we were surprised to find 300 people playing. That's a pretty good percentage to be on in the middle of the day.
Of course, the first order of business was to create a character. Even in the beta, the character creation looks pretty slick and there are plenty of options that you can customize to give your character his/her own unique look. First you'll pick from one of the three races in the game: the Aluvian, the Gharu'ndim or the Sho. For the low down on each of these races, read the preview from March 24th below. After choosing the sex of your online persona, you can customize your character's facial features by picking from a wide variety of forehead, nose and chin templates. Next you can pick your character's skin, eye and hair color. This offers up an extraordinary number of appearance variations. And, as if this weren't enough, you can customize your character's clothes, picking from headgear, shirt, pants and footwear. Whew ... and after all of this appearance customization, there's still plenty to do before you're ready to dive into Dereth ... like decide on your career track.
Asheron's Call takes a step away from the traditional class-based system in preference of a skill-based RPG world. As Toby explained it, "The classes are more like templates rather than set classes. Every character will be able to learn any skill, it's just that some classes will be more adept at learning skills than others." That said, there are seven class templates in the game as of now: Archer, Blademaster, Enchanter, Healer, Sorcerer, Rogue and Warrior. Or, if none of these basic molds fit into your vision, you can opt to create a custom class where you distribute your skill points as you see fit. Now all that's left to do is allocate attribute points in the following areas: strength, endurance, coordination, quickness, focus (intelligence) and self (willpower). Poof ... my first character is done. Citizens of Dereth, meet Dobro the Blademaster.
Well, that's about it for today. We do have to work a little bit, you know. We haven't had a chance to jump into the game yet, but as soon as we do get some play time under our belts (which should be very soon), we'll be sure to give you the latest on how the game actually plays. Keep looking back for more updates to the AC preview throughout the beta and, if any of our readers were one of the lucky thousands picked to test AC, Dobro will see you in Dereth.

Like EverQuest, Ultima Online and Meridian 59, Asheron's Call (AC) is a massive multiplayer online RPG. Set on the island of Dereth, AC will offer gamers a full 576 square miles of territory to explore. What's more, the land of Dereth will be a totally free-flowing, continuous 3D gameworld with no load points, so you won't have to wait for a dungeon to load into memory before you enter ... you'll just walk straight into the entrance and begin hacking up anything that happens to scurry in your path. This feature alone may make Asheron's Call the most talked about and highly-anticipated games of 1999. But AC has so much more to offer-read on ...
One of the most noticeable differences between other role-playing games is that Asheron's Call promises to provide players with a unique character generation system that will be unlike anything previously experienced in any RPG, online or not. You'll start with a basic mold from one of three 'Heritage Groups,' the original settlers of Dereth, and adjust the starting level of the six different attributes and thirty different skills to your liking. The three races are as follows:
- Aluvians: the first people to arrive on Dereth. The Aluvians are a righteous and honorable nationalistic race who specialize in the art of war and battle. They have a strong hierarchical class system with lords, knight, nobility and commoners and have settled mainly on the plains and hills of Dereth.
- Gharu'ndim: the traders, merchants and gypsies of Dereth. They stick mainly to the desert regions of Dereth and, while they were once great warriors, the Gharu'ndim have traded their warlike ways for the pursuit of knowledge and monetary gain. While some of their league still heft a sword and trudge directly into battle, most Gharu'ndim prefer the use of magic or more stealthy means in combat.
- Sho: the most spiritual race in Dereth, the Sho favor inner-peace and self-respect over most other virtues. Although they are typically a peaceful race, they are trained in the ways of martial arts. If you meet a wandering monk in Dereth, chances are (s)he's a Sho.
The truly unique part of the character generation system lies in the character appearances. Turbine promises that more than 16 million visual combinations will be possible with their creation system and that you'll be able to customize eye, hair and skin color as well as starting clothing for each character.
The combat systems also promises to be different than anything you've ever experienced before. Battles are modeled using true physics that factor a player's skills, fatigue, encumbrance and experience into the model. And instead of using the principles of hack-n-slash so prominent in most RPG's, combat in AC will require a little bit more planning and strategy than what you may be used to, with armor and weapon weights and density figured into the equation. For example, it would be advantageous for characters to strike an enemy who is wearing a chain mail suit but no helmet in the head. Logical enough, eh? But something that has been overlooked by most other RPGs.
The magic system should also prove to be extremely different and customizable. By using a combination of magical agents such as powders, plants and artifacts, characters will create spells and, although many spell 'recipes' can be found while exploring, adventurous players can develop totally unique spells within the game through a little experimentation with the right components. Turbine has even stated that player created rare spells will be more effective than the more readily available common ones, so if you discover a good combination of ingredients you may want to keep that knowledge to yourself. There will be a 'spell economy' of sorts where spells will become less powerful the more they are used throughout Dereth. So a spell will be at its most powerful the first time the spell is cast in the gameworld.
In addition to its distinct character creation, combat and magic system, Asheron's Call will also introduce an allegiance system as of yet untapped in the online RPG world. In an attempt to increase social interaction between players (or social dominance depending on how you look at it), you can actually raise your status in the game by gather followers and allies. Ever want to be part of the uppercrust? Well you just might get your chance in AC. Through the allegiance system, Lords and Ladies will actually receive a percentage of a vassals experience points without actually taking the points away from the servant. So how will lower level characters benefit from becoming someone's vassal? Well, it's in the best interested of the liege to look after his/her allies, so he may distribute money and/or special items to his most prized servants in return for their patronage.
As you can see from the screenshots, Asheron's Call is sporting some pretty nice graphics, even in the pre-beta stage. Turbine claims that their engine can animate more polygons than EverQuest, one of the best looking 3D RPGs out there, and players will be able to absorb the experience in a first person view or a variety of third person views. To add to the ambiance of the game, there will be a complete day/night cycle so adventures can expect the sun to rise and set. There will also be weather and environmental effects such as rain, snow, fog and dust devils that promise to make AC an extremely immersive universe. With all of this graphical power you might expect that AC will require a 3D accelerator. Well, it will certainly help, but it won't be required to enjoy the game.
Microsoft is hoping to have as many as 3,000 players per server ... if you can really say that the world of Dereth will be housed on one server. AC will utilize a technology referred to as "distributed dynamic load-balancing" which will split the dynamics of the gameworld over several servers to distribute the game information in the most efficient way possible. It's this process which allows the gameworld to be a continuously flowing experince and Microsoft is hoping that this will help ameliorate some of the lag and latency issues most of the other online RPGs have experienced.
Like EverQuest, AC will leave PKing up to the individual. If you want to be a dirty player murderer, go for it. You'll be able to take on other PKers. But if you want to avoid the whole bloody mess and prefer just to worry about NPCs and monsters then so be it. In an interesting twist, though, non-PKers can become player killers for short periods of time by taking on bounties, engaging in guild wars or completing certain quests.
It's going to be a while before AC hits retail outlets, but Microsoft is starting its beta test in May of 1999. If you're interested in giving this one a whirl before then, Microsoft is accepting applications for the beta test beginning on Friday, March 26th. IGNPC will be one of the sign-up sites for the beta test, so be sure to check back here on Friday for your chance to enter. Also check back for an upcoming interview with the development team at Turbine Studios.
It does look as if Asheron's Call could be the next big online game ... if it works. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. We'll be updating our preview fairly regularly, especially after the beta begins and we have a chance to really dig our brains into the game.
-- Tal Blevins
While Sony's EverQuest is hitting some stores as early as today, Microsoft is still taking its sweet time with Asheron's Call, its own version of the whole massively multiplayer, online roleplaying game thingamajig genre.
Anyway, like EverQuest, Ultima Online, and the like, Asheron's Call takes place in a mythical fantasy world. It also strives to depict a realistic world within those confines, as this recently release movie file shows. The brief movie clips depicts the same landscape in a 24-hour time-lapse, charting the darkening of the skies as night approaches, the swift flight of the moon across a purplish night sky, and the passage of clouds across a cerulean blue dome of day.
Commenting on the inclusion of such immersive effects, Toby Ragaini, the lead designer of the game, said:
"Day and night are one way that players can perceive the flow of time in the game world. While this might seem unnecessary at first glance, in a persistent world such as Dereth, the passage of time is something that needs to be tangible for a number of reasons."
"We have also created a calendar that tracks the passage of game time within the world. Simple things like being able to watch the sun set adds immensely to the game experience. Our ultimate goal is to create a game that draws players into its world so completely that they can forget that they are playing a game."
So what does the rest of the game look like? We'll have a much more extensive preview on the actual play of the game in the near future, but in the mean time, dig into some of these early shots of the game, showing a number of adventurers busying themselves exploring the three dimensional landscape of Asheron's Call.
