This is arguably one of the most exciting bits of MMO news I've heard in a very long time. Not only will they be giving subscribers lifetime free access, but they will also be releasing the server code for anybody who wants to create their own private servers. More companies need to follow this example.
If someone had asked me if this game was still around, I'd say no, EVEN THOUGH I looked at this game a year ago and then forgot about it. Not only is it still around, but it's releasing its code.

Anarchy Online is at a similar intersection: should it die or keep going and/or release code?

I think most companies don't release code because of strings attached to licenses/permissions.

EDIT: I see they're not technically releasing their SOURCE CODE, they just plan on allowing players to run private/public Asherons Call servers. And none of this is DONE yet, just planned.
