Any word? Since both LOTR and DnD have gone FTP, what do you guys think the chances of AC going free to play are?
It's been a long time

I would say none. AC was built on late 90's technology, no way they could implement an in game 'store' to pay for F2P.

Lots of stuff was not possible and they did it. Nothings impossible, the hard part is to get the funding to hire the guys to create the technology.

It could be, but they would have to make the game a lot more user friendly to appeal to the masses.
1. Automate buffing for one thing
2. Make something like GoArrow standard
3. Make all spells purchasable in game on a vendor
That would probably do it.

it would require a lot of overhaul of the super old engine to support free to play, or so the devs have said on the turbine forms. so it is more likely that theyd relaunch ac2 as ftp then ac going free to play.

At this point they could just revamp and relaunch Asheron's Call.
Aside from the handful of people here and who still play AC, no one knows it even existed.

Man, some people have huge, massive, sandy V's.
Why can't they mind their own business and stay on their own boards?
I don't post on your board, don't moderate me on another board.

Ac is the best game for mmorpg players with real experience and looking for deep system and profound game mechanics and content...
They can t do it F2P, that s a fact, This game is way too much rich and developed to make some limitation and adopt a F2P model.
However I m pretty sure many people will come back to the game or just try it if it goes F2P, Even if it goes half price like 5 dols a month...
With the money they make from the 2 other franchises, Turbine should really make an economic gesture to the ac players and reduce monthly fee of the game.
The joke here is I can t resub cause of Credit card problem and i will have to get a pre-paid card just for Ac... But when I see a 100+ dollards subscription for a year of game, I think it s totally worth it and in the other hand I think I pay way too much for a dated but ultragood game.
I don t think their price is fair anymore... They have to reduce it for respect for the active player and in the hope to make people come back / sign up.

Agree with the above poster about pricing. Before LOTRO went F2P, you could regularly get deals to play for $9.95/month. Paying more for AC just doesn't make sense.

AC is $9.95/mo if you pay for a year in advance. Not that great a price, but still a good value.
I had the same credit card problem with one of my accounts SnoWStyleee - you just need to call billing support and they will fix it.
Hi Furay, me old Patron! Come back next patch and play an Olthoi with us! http://ac.wikkii.net/wiki/11th_Anniversary_Preview

How about just make it free period. -shrug-
Put up some ads to your other games on the launcher and the website. Keep the game as it is and give it away.
