AC players get a new race, the Shadow, in addition to a new type of magic and some nifty aesthetic options

A new playable race, new magic, new hairstyles and barbers, and multi-slot armor... Oh my! Asheron's Call players will be mighty pleased today to see some neat stuff coming down the line, including a brand new playable race, the Shadow! In addition to this new playable race, Turbine has also added a nifty new type of magic, called "Aetheria," which appears to be centered on the accumulation of powerful sigils to make your character stronger.

Finally, the really big news of the day is really the addition of more aesthetic options in Asheron's Call, including a Barber system for players to change their hairstyles at whim, and a new "Multi-Slot" armor that allows adventurers to have a little more control over the look of their armor.
