    Archlord expansion news

    Burbank, CA – Wednesday, December 6, 2006 – Codemasters Online Gaming (COG) today announced that ArchLord™, the epic fantasy MMORPG where one player can rise to become the ruler of the world, is planned to become a free-to-play service with no monthly subscription fee. Additionally, fans of ArchLord will be excited to know that the game will continue to receive content updates, including the upcoming Episode 2: Season of Siege, a free expansion due to launch in the coming weeks.

    “We are extremely pleased to offer gamers the chance to play ArchLord for free,” comments Adam McGowan, Product Marketing Manager for COG. “With both the switch to free to play and huge new forthcoming content updates like the Episode 2: Season of Siege expansion, we hope to see many more players taking their opportunity to raise an army and rule the world.”

    oh, but that's the exact same message i read in the press release, probably copied and later published. on the site nor forum their have been any clues on a date or whatsoever, either it died, or they just don't know it themself...

    sounds like the same irritating business with 2Moons, there hasn't been a single patch since it started closed beta and the feedback from the devs has been minimal as well ...

    Main reason why I havent bought the game yet. I am waiting for the X-pack to release. By that time, I am sure the game will go down another $5-$10 dollars too.

    The game is really good, I had fun with it till they screwed over the drop rates.

    As of now, I am waiting on word about its expansion before I purchase it.

    I didn't kew they would make one,But yeah i'm going to wait for it(before buying the game),Archlord isn't the best game I played,but it's a quite good game,and also it's like GuildWars,you can play whit all the NPC and the quests in the language that you want.It's nice for me since i can chat whit english players and do quests in my main language.

    I thought that this so called expansion was just a large update (free content update)

    well, originally it is meant as a free content update since it doesn't add new characters and a new storyline and those things, but codemasters eventually started speaking of a free expansion themself.

    but, i was supposed to be against archlord when i played the beta. but now since i got the game, gives me a little time to see things more in depth, and 'francly' i find archlord to have quite good features. now i am not sure what exactly is killing this game, besides the grind (it should be worked up i think) and the fact that you level 10 levels from 2 to 12 to have new armor and when you hit 12 you notice the armor has the same stats, with only the cuiras has 1 def more. other than that, the weapons are underpowered (very little diffirence in new weapons, even after 9 levels). this is to bad, but i suppose codemasters can actually make this work if they would just do something about it, and fast.
