Turbine Buys Asheron's Call From Microsoft

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday December 17, 2003 @04:07AM from the come-to-daddy dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to Turbine's announcement that they've purchased back the entire Asheron's Call MMO franchise from Microsoft. Turbine, the original developers of the titles, has just announced a large venture capital-sourced funding increase, and will now "assume all responsibility for Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2 game and player support, including customer service, tech support, quality assurance and a new billing system." Additionally, a letter from the content developers reveals that "we are going to be making an expansion pack for Asheron's Call 1", the still-popular franchise originator.

your only hope for that is if it's playable in wine, the AC games are both directx based

and i'd be betting that their other games coming up are also directx based since they're built on the Turbine Engine
