Via Kotaku, the final moments of Asheron's Call 2 in text and images. Highlights include the in-game appearance of a community moderator, and a killable version of a notorious dragon. Then, a lost connection. Gamespot has the story as well. From that article: "Turbine performed a little house cleaning this weekend as it shut down its massively multi-player online role-playing game Asheron's Call 2. Originally released in November of 2002, the fantasy game world met an unceremonious armageddon December 30. As of press time, the Asheron's Call 2 forums were still up for mourning players, and blow-by-blow accounts of the world of Dereth's final moments had started circulating the Web. "

Real Life: much more vivid than a MMORPG by Noodlenose · 2006-01-03 14:11 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Urgh.
This rather makes me think these guys need a life. I don't know, meeting on a virtual mountain with your virtual friends (probably people you wouldn't even feel comfortable sitting next to on a bus)?
MMORPG's just feed of people's loneliness. Most players would probably better off investing the money into their real life.
