Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings is a MMORPG, with a monthly subscription, that was released on November 22, 2002 as a sequel to the original Asheron's Call. The severs for AC2 were first shut down in December 2005 when the game did not have enough subscribers to continue being viable for the company to support.
It was announced that the game was going to be relaunched as a beta for those subscribed to Asheron's Call on December 13, 2012.
Turbine announced that is would no longer develop MMOs on December 20, 2016 and that it's servers and account system would be transitioned over to a new studio, Standing Stone Games. As Turbine retained the rights for the Asheron's Call IP the game servers for both MMOs will go offline on January 31, 2017.
