January 31, 2017:It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the end of our support for Asheron's Call and Asheron’s Call 2, and will close both services on January 31st, 2017.This decision did not come easy, and we know this is disappointing for many of you. This game is a labor of love, and it's not easy for us to bring it to an end.We have had a phenomenally long run; one of the longest in the world of MMORPGs, and that in and of itself is a spectacular feat. We are proud of our legacy, and the entire Asheron's Call team has been honored to adventure with you for nearly twenty years. We thank you very much for being a part of it.It’s been an amazing run. You’ve done Asheron Realaidain proud.Between now and January 31st, 2017, the game will remain available to play, completely free, for any player currently with an account. New account creation will be disabled.If you have any questions, please visit support.wbgames.com
While the future has no guarantees, Turbine is healthy financially and in July of 2008, Freelorn, AC1's Community Representative, affirmed AC1 will continue well past the 100th patch in August.
