Just over 17 years ago, Turbine Software launched the third major MMO to hit the market, Asheron’s Call. Now, that journey and the briefer resurrection of its sequel, Asheron’s Call 2, are both coming to an end, with servers scheduled to go offline on January 31. The announcement was made as part of a general shakeup at Turbine, which also developed Dungeons and Dragons Online as well as Lord of the Rings Online. These last two titles have been shifted to a new game studio, Standing Stone Games, and will continue with “business as usual” with no significant changes or disruptions planned at this time. There’s a full FAQ available if you currently play one or both games and want to check on what’s happening as a result of the transition.
