Consolidate all servers into 1 pvp and 1 pve. Cease the montly updates and just keep the servers up and running.

Then make it free.

Asheron''s Call: Throne of Destiny

Its suggestions from people like you that have steered the game into the pitfall of failure that it is now, from the grand wonderful game it used to be. 

Thanks for being an idiot.

My goodness, a little bitter are we?

Look, the game will shut its doors soon enough, and then you will wish my suggestion was listened to.

Have a great day.

This suggestion makes absolutely NO business sense. If AC gave away it's product for free, How would they pay for the servers and bandwidth?  Nothing is free in this world.  Asking or suggesting that you get a free game is unfair to Turbine's hard work and dedication.

shame on you

Well lets see, other MMORPG games have done it with success. Why can't AC follow the likes of Anarchy Online and go free, but charge for expansions?  Guild Wars is free after you purchase the game, but have several expansions that can be purchased. Why can't AC do that too?

Also, Turbine has several other MMORPGs both active and in production that can pay for the servers and bandwidth of AC. With the current population of AC, and the age of the game, I 'm sure the servers have already paid for themselves, and bandwidth isn't nearly as high as you think.

They'll never combine more than 3 serversI think, but I hope they do.

Oh $OEs invovlved?
No thx then

I am sure what they could do is make it free to play for a short time maybe 60 days?? then small charge after hook some new players and keep the doors open for the old timers.

The only way this could work is if they make a "premium subscription" plan. Free players can't own houses and certain content. Premium players can own houses and get other benefits.

They could also do like other "free games" by making players pay for specific items, like armor. I prefer the premium subscription method though and it's the easiest to implement.

Too bad Turbine would never do this.

I miss Darktide :(

It's too late, Turbine let the best PvP MMO die.

If they really wanted to create a great game they would take AC, redo the graphic/animations, add a heap of new content and rerelease it :D

 

I'd play that.
