ArchLord becomes free to play News
PC MMO News by Tom Bramwell
Codemasters MMORPG ArchLord is to do away with ongoing subscription costs, which will no longer be required from the start of next year.
Anybody who buys the game from now on will have nothing to worry about, as the 30 days of free play provided will take you through to the end of the final billing period, after which it's all a bit moot.
4th December to 4th January 2007 will be the game's last official subscription period, and anybody who has pre-purchased game-time that extends beyond then is entitled to a refund. Those affected will find details on the game's official website.
On top of that, Codemasters will be offering free in-game credits to players so they can buy a range of tools from the Chantra shop to make things easier.
But Codies' decision to do away with the ongoing sub should not be viewed as a precursor to the game's demise, oh no - with a free expansion called Episode 2: Season of Siege due out in the coming weeks.

now this is interesting, what is the purpose of euromager is it simply to reiterate news shouldest it be pointing out the obvious that its a sub sub standard game which has been paned and no one it much inclined to pay a subscription for this and its a fairly desperate attempt to pay for itself with micro payments or whatever
its heading the way of the dodo if they don't drastically improve it pronto, good riddance |

I heard that if you manage to get a Euromager to Level 15 or higher, he gets a bonus +50 Staff of Reviewing.

Not only have I forgotten to give BatBat his medication, but I've just appointed him head of development at EA. The industry is in safe hands.

That wasn't my first thought............my first thought was that Codies have admitted they've released a big pile of pooh and are desperate for sales!!!!!! ANOTHER Codies failure, how do they survive?! |

All these dire MMOs: do they really all come from Korea or is that a baseless stereotype? If it's true, what is it about Korea that makes people want to play these games? I fell asleep several times during my free Eve trial period, and I thought WoW seemed boring, but from what I read of these, the patience of a saint and the carpal tunnel of Samson seem prerequisites
