As we reported in the beginning of September, ArchLord was to be shut down due to the fact Codemasters was unable to renew their license to operate the game in North American and European territories. Since then, the game has officially relaunched under the Webzen banner and has returned to eager fans with the addition of a new class: the Swashbuckler. The Swashbuckler is a female-only melee class whose head is inexplicably adorned with a pair of rabbit ears.
Reported on Oct 13, 2009In an announcement made today on the official ArchLord website, we've learned that the North American and European versions of ArchLord will be shutting down on Friday, October 2nd, 2009. The inability for Codemasters to negotiate a renewal of the licensing contract from NHN Korea to continue operating the game is stated as the reason behind the shut down. Starting on October 3rd, 2009, ArchLord will be operated by Webzen in the west, and a transition FAQ is now available.
