Please Turbine, now when you have at least 300-400k subscribers from all your current games it would be possible to re-lunch Asheron's Call 2 servers. I realize it's probably not very-business wise at this stage, but there were still around 10k players at its termination and it would highly increase the company popularity by reopening one of the best MMO's ever made - AC2!

Lawl AC > AC2 by far. Maybe that would be why AC is still running and AC2 is dead.

AC2 had 10-15k subscribers when it died. AC has about that now but its cheaper to run..

Anyway, AC2 isn't coming back. They aren't going to go through the cost of launching it, or putting it on a server. Plus, I think they see LOTRO as the spiritual successor to AC2.

Wish I was wrong, but sadly I think thats the truth.

Hmm I'd rather see an updated AC engine with better graphics before I see AC2 re-opened *shutters*

Although AC3 wouldn't go over that well considering the way they canceled AC2 I'd like to see any updated Asheron's Call. Whether it be a completely new version or AC2 with some new features.

I played it for a little while, but I thought it wasn't very good.  It's hard to remember exactly what it was like though as it was a while ago.  You could always go play LOTRO as it's made by the same people.

Unfortunatly... just because its made by the same people doesnt mean its the same game...    Gameplay is  much different.

I guess the old saying applies here.  One mans trash is another mans treasure.

As long as Microsoft or Sony isn't involved, AC3 would have alot more going for it than AC2 did. However if Turbine hasn't currently been working on this game, then we wont see it for 3+ years.

No the hell we don't want RubberBand2 to come back.  The game failed for a reason.. Actually AC2 failed for a number of reasons.

I'd resub to AC2 if they brought it back. Even if they offered no new content to the game and only fixed the criical bugs or exploits that came up.

Towards the end AC2 was a fantastic game. I loved the expansion and playing a drudge and the new content.

Turbine has to be working on something. Least I hope they are working on some new project.

BTW Turbine we want a SOE type station pass for your games at a low price!

I don't understand why more companies with multiple MMO titles don't do this. It would sure as heck cut down on sub turnover within that companies games. NCSoft really needs to do this also.

Yes please, somehow I just didn't quite feel ripped off enough the first time they charged full price for an expansion for a game they knew was being shutdown and offered no refunds. 

Lets do that again !

Haha, yeah talk about getting ripped. They gave the expansion only a few months before announcing it was canceled. Even while it was known the game was being shut down, the expansion was still on the shelves being sold! It's one of the reasons I didn't try D&D or LotRO aside from the fact that those games have their own problems as it is.
