well perhaps my use of the term "cash cow" was a bit too ambitious but when it's still running after all those years, must be now somewhat a tad profitable.
lol cash cow,AC1 sub amounts probly wouldn't even cover 1-2 servers of Lotro upkeep,cost and matience.I am sure ac1 will end up f2p also.Lotro still had a tons of subscribers and alot of servers they were in no means dire situation and they decided to make it f2p cannot imagine them not doin the same for ac1
I was just thinking today that I wouldn't mind seeing a F2P option for AC, and I won't be surprised to see it eventually. The question will be, would they be able to implement the pay-to-play options with code that old?
