It looks like there is a new race you can play in the upcoming Asheron’s Call 2: Legions expansion pack. No, it’s not the already announced Empyreans, but it appears to be a Drudge – complete with board and nail.
Seems it is only for people that pre-order the expansion pack.
UPDATE: At a later date, a quest to unlock the Drudge race will be available for those that do not pre-order, but this quest will have a pretty high level-requirement (60-ish).
