well...no more bizarre user accounts and acclaim coins...TCOS is free!...chris and i played it awhile back and received this email a few days ago:

Today, as you
read this, Spellborn as it currently exists is now free to play. Keep
in mind that there will be no upgrades and no patches. It has become
in effect, an Action RPG with superior Multiplayer. The only thing it
will cost you to play is the time it takes to download.
apparently the confusing accounts finally did them in and theyre converting the game to a f2p/item mall based game...during that conversion theyve left their servers up for free play until sometime in 2010 when the game will be re-released...
the EU servers have been merged with the US servers and theres currently only 2 servers up, a pvp and pve one...im currently on the pve server if anyone wishes to join in...

Sun, 08/23/2009 - 9:40amso i tried this again and it still has problems installing. for some reason, the file that the downloader downloads has a corrupt element or something, so it looks like i'm not going to be playing after all : (. this is probably for the best, since I start my semester of insanity tomorrow.
