Whoops. Codemasters won’t be running Archlord in the West any more, as you can see from this “transition FAQ”.

Codemasters is shutting its ArchLord servers down on October 2. License-owner Webzen is claiming it’s to open its own servers for the game on October 3.

Codemasters now operates two MMOs in Europe: Turbine’s Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online.

Thanks, EG.

Codemasters announced this afternoon that free-to-play MMO Archlord has now hit 500,000 players in the west.

Apparently, since moving to a non-sub model, the Korean game has seen “explosive growth”.

Codemasters Online marketing head Ed Relf commented, “This is a key milestone in the growth of ArchLord. 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.”
