...It boggles my fucking mind as to why their original recipe that brought them fame and fortune seems to escape their newer games designs.
As far as I have read, there isn't a single warm body left at Turdbine that was around from the launch of AC1.
The company as it stands today thumbs its nose at Asheron's Call (for the life of me I can't figure out why, but the ENTIRE industry does.) They have it around, but they have a very negative attitude about it and more or less just wish it wouldn't be brought up in conversation.
They gladly chime in about their abject failure - AC2, but AC1 is the ugly step child of the entire MMO industry.
Absolutely if AC was barely tweaked to bring it up to modern standards, done on better graphics and blocked macros it would be the best game in the market today... but call me a conspiracy nut... there is some very weird sheet going on about why nobody in the industry will even admit to its existance.

obviously you haven't played Asheron's Call on Darktide server then Trollstar. It's kill or be killed.
Pretty much. A level 270 would kill level 5's repeatedly for fun. Darktide's crazy like that.
