Iria · Aug 26, 2005, 12:23 AM

Turbine's MMORPG scheduled to shut down December 30; original Asheron's Call survives its sequel.

In a posting on the official Asheron's Call 2 Web site, Jeffrey Anderson, CEO of developer and publisher Turbine Entertainment, has announced the impending death of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

"In spite of our hard work and the launch of [Asheron's Call 2 expansion pack] Legions, AC2 has reached the point where it no longer makes sense to continue the service," Anderson wrote. "We will be officially closing the Asheron's Call 2 service on 12/30/05. Until then, we plan to run live events, but we will not be adding any content or features."
