The Asheron’s Call MMO universe from the ’90s will finally go offline in January

Asheron’s Call is over, which should finally free up the line for your dial-up modem.

Developer Turbine and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today that it is ending support for its 1999 massively multiplayer online role-playing game Asheron’s Call and its sequel, Asheron’s Call 2. The servers for both will go offline January 31. This marks the demise of one of the first MMORPGs, and it is an example of how games can survive for a decade and a half by maintaining a small, dedicated community.
