No they aren't. If you click the "order" button on the AC2 page, it doesn't actually work. Do a little more research next time.

lol. Ok well i clicked on it and it went to the shopping cart, but they tried to sell Throne of destiny instead. My bad for not noticing the fist time that the name of the game had changed. You can hardly blame me on not doing research cus there ain't much to do. Clink on link, moves to shopping cart. I'm not thinking that they are gonna change the name of the game after I click the Order button.

It's actually quite intelligent .. milk the community for some last minute dosh..

Yes very intelligent, if you now look at their slogan "powered by our fans" you really get a feeling about what real sarcasm means.

I particularly liked there new slogan, it was either on the box or the site, "The call is stronger than ever." Too bad no one answered

To be fair, anyone keeping an eye on the world of MMORPG's knew this had to happer sooner or later. From day one, AC2 was heavily underpopulated, something the regular updates and the expansions couldn't seem to remedy.

 Thank you very much for responding in a non-emotional, and analytical way. You are able to look at the gross failure of AC2 from a purely buisness point of view. And yes, 6 months after release AC2 was unofficially dead. It lost roughly 90% of its total player base. Going from roughly 60k players to 6k players!

 After that it was kept on life support from the profits of AC1.

NOOOOOO

Star Wars Galaxies will be next, followed by Everquest 2.

What? You think that EQ2 will shut down before Shadowbane or Horizons?

Oops, I forgotten about those two lame ducks.

No way will EQ2 or SWG get canceled, they have too far to fall. PS has a better chance of being killed.

EQII actually is doing pretty well. SWG is being taken over by Lucas Arts soon, so a revival is planned. PS on the otherhand is losing members everyday.

Something is definitely going to happen to SWG in the near future, don't know what....

EQ2 ? unlikely, it may not have millions of subscribers but its doing pretty well.

Horizons - the only thing that will shut that game down is a nuclear attack. (they have been through a horrible launch, swarms of bugs, lay-offs and staff reduction 2x, low populations, server consolidation, bankruptcy, and selling the game itself to an unknown game company.... its indestructible!)

Its to bad the guys at Turbine don't have the stubborn tenacity that the people over at Horizons do.

"The servers will be closing some time on the afternoon or evening of December 30th. It really comes down to when our operations folks are able to complete their work that day. If I had to give an estimate, I'd say sometime between 6pm and 10pm but it could be a little earlier than that." http://forums.ac2.turbine.com/showthread.php?&postid=217797#post217797

2 more days

It looks like all AC2 players are getting is a DDO beta account?!!???? WTF I thought Turbine would at least be giving the players free AC1 keys and trials, it's the only way there going to get a few new players anyway

Did they flip the switch on time? Just curious as to how the shutdown went...

It's not over yet. I wonder what they'll be doing on the last day? I haven't been playing but reading the forum it seems the devs are giving out free xp to maximum level 150 and the best loot to keep players entertained these last weeks.

Yep, playing the trial a few weeks ago, I got to level 150 in 3 days Ph34r my uber grinding, actually GMs just give out level 150 to people who go afk in one of the towns, it's a pity AC2 is shutting down, it was really fun the 2 weeks I played it.
