embien writes: It was Asheron's Call 2 that closed down, fansede, not the original. I'm still playing after all these years--it's a great game. Wed Aug 20 2008 4:32PM

Khalathwyr writes: In the last question he touched on something most companies don't allow their devs teams to program into games in anyu great detail: Freedom of choice backed by many options. Wed Aug 20 2008 4:51PM

Valentina writes: Turbine is a GREAT company. They definitely should revamp the graphics, or attempt a real sequel again. AC3 could be awesome. Wed Aug 20 2008 7:24PM

ZandalfDJs writes: Good move Turbine on the free expansion. I can't help but laugh when I hear the crickets in the background when Andy begins to talk. Wed Aug 20 2008 9:23PM

WSIMike writes: @Khalathwyr.. What's interesting about that "freedom of choice backed by many options" is that as they emphasize AC's freedom of choice... another of their teams is dumbing... err... sorry.. "streamlining" DDO by eliminating all those "pesky options". But I agree... They've got the right idea with AC. More options = more ways to personalize your character = Very Good Thing. So, while I chastise what they're doing with DDO... I applaud them for what they're continuing to do with AC. And, yes... a new AC title with updated graphics but with AC's more open gameplay would be wonderful. Wed Aug 20 2008 10:09PM

Tyres100 writes: I would so invest 20 million into an AC3 if I had the money haha. Loved AC for years, this news is a bit sad to the players who have long gone or recently left or sold accounts off. Thu Aug 21 2008 12:45AM

Tyres100 writes: Finbar Keith isn't laughing at him, he is just a happy guy and to get an interview with a old great classic MMO. Hes just a happy man. That has no bearing on this site. Cross did a good job except left out our question about asking if there will ever be an AC3 =) Thu Aug 21 2008 12:47AM

-Jaguar- writes: I'm sick of people saying all AC needs is a graphics update. AC is a good game, but does not have mass appeal. It is too difficult to get into. Third party applications and sites are required to play. The PvP isn't that great. Dodging is the only good feature. Combat spells and attacks are boring and simple. Thu Aug 21 2008 2:45PM

KOrnfan4evr writes: -jaguar- the only problems with PVP is basicaly the coding. You might see fighting animations bland. but you use them for everything including pvp. The fact that this game requiresmore player involvement than most is what makes it fun. Thu Aug 21 2008 6:45PM

Dyran777 writes: Been a big fan of AC, played many years but sadly I dont have much hope for Turbine anymore. They have tried to "fix" pvp for many years and ended up screwing it over IMO due to the PKL. Always loved the game tho... FF - Dyran Thu Aug 21 2008 7:41PM

Hadorak writes: sounds like AC2 style KVK. Damn I miss that game!! Valentina said it best...Turbine is a GREAT company. They definitely should revamp the graphics, or attempt a real sequel again. AC3 could be awesome. I couldn't agree more. Thu Aug 21 2008 8:49PM

Dyran777 writes: I disagree with AC1 graphics update or any changes at all due to its age and beauty. Id say AC3 ftw.... with same play style as AC1... AC2 woulda lasted if they dident try to be a mini wow/daoc (IMO!) Thu Aug 21 2008 10:32PM

rsreston writes: Great interview but mmorpg.com should prepare their reporters for such interviews, have them formulate the questions they're going to ask in advance! Please! Sat Aug 23 2008 11:52AM
