Even if you've never played it, you've probably heard of Asheron's Call. A pioneering MMORPG, it's been around for over 15 years now. And while it'll still be around for a few more to come, AC's developers have announced that they're ceasing work on the game.
Quickly becoming the standard for free-to-play PC games, Founders' packs give players a chance to forego post-launch nickle-and-dime content into one massive down payment. What does $100 get you in the DC Comics take on League of Legends?
After listening to this week's episode of This American Life on software patents, I was curious to investigate patents within the gaming sphere. Although we routinely hear about console manufacturers' patents, patents from publishers are a less frequent source for headlines.
Infinite Crisis—the free-to-play MOBA that takes place across the DC Comics multiverse—goes into closed beta today. If you haven't signed up already, you can do so here.
Asheron's Call 2 lives again! ... If you're an Asheron's Call subscriber, that is. If so, you can now play for free.

Has it really been five years since Turbine took the world's most beloved fantasy world and transformed it into a massively multiplayer online game adored by a handful of players until it went free-to-play? Well I sure hope so; otherwise this post is pretty pointless.

The most disappointing aspect of Dungeons & Dragons Online was that the game was set in Stormreach instead of the much more popular Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Turbine rectifies that mistake with the first expansion pack for the six-year-old MMO, Menace of the Underdark.
