Codemasters : Archlord is now 100% free to download and play...

In a twist of fate, Codemaster's newest commercial offering is now a 100% "Free-to-play" "Free-to-download" title. While this is terrible news for all of you who purchased it it does work out quite well for those of us who passed on it due to other various MMO titles.

Sources from various forums put this decision as one based on monthly subscriber rates not being what Codemasters had hoped for. Instead they have decided to adopt a marketing strategy much along the line of acclaims with 9 Dragons and 2 Moons.
