even its free i wont play it. Acclaim is a shitty company and i have no desire to have any game with their name on it, on my desktop. Terrible company, that i cant believe is still alive and doing business.

 

They used to make console games back in the day, and games for  Nintendo GB.

Its a different company, they bought the name and logo from the old company you remember. The current MMO publisher is called Acclaim Games, where as the old console game developer was called Acclaim Entertainment. Back in 2004 Acclaim Entertainment filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then a year later in 2005 the name was bought.

Here are the entries at Wikipedia on Acclaim Entertainment and Acclaim Games.

I don't think it's full f2p ;)
 

in case you didnt know, the cap has been increased to 50 for f2p recently

Hey good luck with Champions online. Just wait for NDA to drop today. And you will see Spellborn is perhaps a better choice

Spellborn didn't just fail because of lack of advertising and acclaim, although that had a big part to play.  it also failed because many people got bored with it fast, including myself, due to it's lack of depth and things to do.

The game failed as P2P (horrible lack of advertising and poor managment by Acclaim) so they decided to turn it into F2P game.

But until F2P client is released (and it could take months even year)

The game is FREE. No item shop.... just 100% free 

Enjoy

I was thinking of giving Spellborn a try.

I was going over some game review shows at work last week and saw an incredibly favourable review for Spellborn that piqued my interest.

But if they're eventually going to go free-to-play...
