Acclaim's new MMORPG titled 'The Chronicles of Spellborn' just released today in the States and Acclaim will be giving away 2 whole free weeks to let players try out the game before they actually pay for it.
As no agreement could be reached between Frogster Asia and Dutch licensor Spellborn NV, the MMO Chronicles of Spellborn is closing in Asia.
Acclaim operates servers for the MMO in North America. The game has been beset by woe since its launch, with its dev team bankrupt a while back.
Initially there were issues with releasing the North American beta on the same day of European release, something that split the community and dulled the unveiling. Upon release of the game in North America, confusion almost immediately set in as to how to pay for the subscription.
Massively has always wondered what happened to one of their favorite free-to-play games, The Chronicles of Spellborn. It's still a great game, don't get them wrong, and is completely free to play. A new version is even supposed to come out at some point, essentially the same game but with a cash-shop that features different travel items and armors.
They asked five original team members for some insight, Coen Nessen (Lead Game Design), El Driver (Lead Game Design), Matthew Florianz (Audio Director), Michale Wolf Visser (Lead Quest and Content Designer) and Vincent Leeuw (Lead Content).
