Codemasters Online has announced that over 500,000 players have now joined the subscription-free MMORPG ArchLord.
The publisher says that since it moved to a free-to-play model the game has grown dramatically.
"This is a key milestone in the growth of ArchLord," Ed Relf, Director of Marketing, Codemasters Online. "ArchLord is a premier free-to-play MMORPG offering significantly more depth and quality than most other free-to-play games and this recent achievement solidifies our commitment to the ongoing development and success of ArchLord."
After the closure of the English global server, the Korean version for Archlord will be closing on 13th February as well. Developer Webzen claims the reason as “being unable to provide players with a stable environment”.
Webzen recently announced the closure of Archlord on 1st January 2014, which was the English global server in the company’s game portal. First launching in August of 2009, the lack of new features and regular updates once again proved a game’s downfall.
Webzen will be celebrating 3rd year anniversary of Archlord. Archlord was launched worldwide since October 2009, and it has been receiving increasing recognition from a vast number of MMORPG users for its various PvP contents and the recent introduction of the new expansion 'The Dark Revelation'.
