Today Turbine launched a content update for Asheron’s Call that adds a new race, a new school of magic, a new hunting area, and more quests.

Players can now jump right into the PvP action as an Olthoi. The evil race of bugs that started it all is now in players’ hands. Starting out on Olthoi Isle, players can get all the action and excitement of PvP right from the start, playing as an Olthoi Soldier or as one of the winged Spitters.

And on the other side they’ve added the Empyreans. The fourth new playable race added this year, Empyreans were once the masters of Dereth and beyond. Asheron had sent them to Portal Space to protect them from the Olthoi, but now some have managed to free themselves and have returned to Dereth.
