Farewell Asheron’s Call 2: November 2002 - December 2005

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

Farewell Asheron's Call 2On December 30th the gaming world lost one of their own. Quietly, peacefully Asheron’s Call 2 simply ceased to be….

Empyrean magic has once again fled this world. The battle for Dereth continues on a different plane now. As his final act in this realm, Asheron sealed every portal to contain the expanding horde and protect what is left of the races who called Dereth home.

As of December 30, 2005 the AC2 service is no longer available. Turbine and the AC2 development team would like to express our thanks to the many players who’ve been part of Asheron’s Call 2 over the years. We hope you’ve had as much fun playing the game as we did creating it for you.

It’s never easy to say goodbye to a place you’ve called home, but we hope to see all of you in Turbine’s other worlds.

Many of you probably never played Asheron’s Call 2, or even gave this game a second glance, but I’m sure you have heard of this game and its passing has to make one stop and think of the eventual fate of all MMOs. Eventually, perhaps in three years, perhaps in thirty, they will all come to an end. EverQuest, Ultima Online, even World of Warcraft will one day go quietly into that good night.

Asheron’s Call 2 … we might not have known you well but you will be remembered and missed.
