Asheron's Call 2 MMORPG.COM's
Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings Q&A talks with Jonathan Hanna of Turbine
about the shutdown of Asheron's Call 2: "It doesn’t have much of an impact
at all. AC1 and AC2 are run very separately from each other. Separate
development teams, separate QA, etc. AC1 is also in a better situation as
far as subscriber numbers. We don’t plan on shutting down AC1. Right now
we’re working on the next update as well as live events."
Shadowbane The
Q&A with Sean Ashen Temper Dahlberg of Shadowbane on The Corporation
discusses the recently implemented Loreplay server and more about Wolfpack's
MMORPG: "There are constant PvP opportunities and you don’t have to wait in
a queue to find someone to kill. Since neither the world nor any part of
battle is instanced in Shadowbane, performance can degrade somewhat in much
larger battles. As with any computer game, a lot of this is determined by
the end-users computer. However, we have made immense changes with the
server and client architecture since Shadowbane has been released,
especially since our acquisition by Ubisoft. Server-crashes are practically
non-existent and we have reduced client crashed by over 95%. While we do add
features to help enhance the game play and fun factor of the game, our
primary concern is always performance."
