Asheron's Call to cease updates and go F2P
https://www.asheronscall.com/en/foru...&postid=712139
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.

Those who had subs when it goes live get to keep that account for free, for the lifetime of the game thereafter. Updates will only be to keep bugs and crashes fixed. AND THE SERVER CODE IS GOING TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE WHO WANT IT. Like...that's amazing and largely unprecedented.

Wait, so what if your account is inactive at the time it goes F2P?

That's the million dollar question... or... I guess the $12 question.

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.
