This created a
mutually bene?¬? cial pyramid structure that helped
protect players.
In addition, Asheron??™s Call players had the option
of joining fellowships. Fellowships were temporary
agreements with other players, usually formed to
go on a quest or pursue a goal. Experience points
generated while the players were a fellowship were
distributed across the group. Individuals in the
group received a share of the points based on their
experience level. For example, a third-level character
received a bigger share of the points generated by
the fellowship than a second-level character, etc. The
designers at Turbine Entertainment developed these
systems as an elegant way of rewarding players for
working together. They made it more fun to cooperate
and less fun to be a spoiler.
Even with these systems in place, law-abiding players
of Asheron??™s Call still complained about player
killers. Turbine responded by tweaking the game so
that, by default, players could not be a acked by
other players. The story of the game was tweaked to
say that the powerful magic of the world of Dereth
protected them from one another.
