A post on the Asheron's Call 2 Website (thanks WarCry) has word from Turbine CEO Jeffrey Anderson that their MMORPG sequel is shutting down:

Closing Asheron's Call 2

Dear AC2 subscribers,

In spite of our hard work and the launch of Legions, AC2 has reached the point where it no longer makes sense to continue the service. We will be officially closing the Asheron's Call 2 service on 12/30/05. Until then, we plan to run live events, but we will not be adding any content or features.

We deeply appreciate the many dedicated fans of AC2 who have stood by us over the years. You have our sincerest gratitude.

Best regards,

Jeffrey Anderson
CEO, Turbine

Why not just let it go and not charge for it.
I think they have other services they are getting money for that would cover it.

Although, they may have reached, "once our subscribers are below X, then we shutdown".

I kinda think this one would be obvious. They're not making enough money to cover its operating expenses and still turn a profit, so making it free definitely isn't going to fix that. Duh.
