We want Asheron's Call 2!

Please Turbine, now when you have at least 300-400k subscribers from all your current games it would be possible to re-lunch Asheron's Call 2 servers. I realize it's probably not very-business wise at this stage, but there were still around 10k players at its termination and it would highly increase the company popularity by reopening one of the best MMO's ever made - AC2!
REALITY CHECK
Comments
Lawl AC > AC2 by far. Maybe that would be why AC is still running and AC2 is dead.
Current: Puzzle Pirates
Waiting: SWTOR,Aion, CO
Played: AC, WoW, SB, EVE
AC2 had 10-15k subscribers when it died. AC has about that now but its cheaper to run..
Anyway, AC2 isn't coming back. They aren't going to go through the cost of launching it, or putting it on a server. Plus, I think they see LOTRO as the spiritual successor to AC2.
Wish I was wrong, but sadly I think thats the truth.
Hmm I'd rather see an updated AC engine with better graphics before I see AC2 re-opened *shutters*
Although AC3 wouldn't go over that well considering the way they canceled AC2 I'd like to see any updated Asheron's Call. Whether it be a completely new version or AC2 with some new features.

AC1 w/ AC2 graphics, an update UI etc...
Now we're cooking!
I would play AC2 again for sure wish they would bundle it with there other games like SOE does ..
With an updated graphics engine I would so be playing this game for years to come.. in its prime it was awsome
I played it for a little while, but I thought it wasn't very good. It's hard to remember exactly what it was like though as it was a while ago. You could always go play LOTRO as it's made by the same people.
Unfortunatly... just because its made by the same people doesnt mean its the same game... Gameplay is much different.

I guess the old saying applies here. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Loved AC2, definently would play if they revived it.
Sadly thats more than likely not going to happen =(
an ac3 would be intresting though
As long as Microsoft or Sony isn't involved, AC3 would have alot more going for it than AC2 did. However if Turbine hasn't currently been working on this game, then we wont see it for 3+ years.

No the hell we don't want RubberBand2 to come back. The game failed for a reason.. Actually AC2 failed for a number of reasons.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
I'd resub to AC2 if they brought it back. Even if they offered no new content to the game and only fixed the criical bugs or exploits that came up.
Towards the end AC2 was a fantastic game. I loved the expansion and playing a drudge and the new content.
Turbine has to be working on something. Least I hope they are working on some new project.
BTW Turbine we want a SOE type station pass for your games at a low price!

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.
I don't understand why more companies with multiple MMO titles don't do this. It would sure as heck cut down on sub turnover within that companies games. NCSoft really needs to do this also.
IAWTP!
I'd resub in a nano if that happened.

Yes please, somehow I just didn't quite feel ripped off enough the first time they charged full price for an expansion for a game they knew was being shutdown and offered no refunds.
Lets do that again !
Haha, yeah talk about getting ripped. They gave the expansion only a few months before announcing it was canceled. Even while it was known the game was being shut down, the expansion was still on the shelves being sold! It's one of the reasons I didn't try D&D or LotRO aside from the fact that those games have their own problems as it is.

Totally!
I would love AC2 omg yeah, If not that then give us the source code so we can make our own servers!

I have played every MMO that has ever come out.
I remember reading about that expansion at the time and I think they made a mistake with it. They aimed it all at the higher end, really they should have aimed a little more at enticing new players to the game or having some kind of impressive features(like the pvp towns...) That is in part, why I never bought the game.
Would be nice to see ac2 back at least concider it TURBINE F2P maybe?
