Sci-fi MMORPG free for two weeks; publisher announces patch on the way for current players.
Funcom has a fresh strategy for attracting new players to its sci-fi multiplayer online RPG Anarchy Online--give the game away for free. The full version of Anarchy Online is now available for download free of charge from the publisher's official Web site for a 14-day trial (increased from the earlier 7-day trial offer).
At present the new venture is being called "Exclaim," but this is apparently only a temporary name and is likely to be replaced before the firm starts trading. Cousens is joined in the new venture by Europlay Capital Advisers, the Los Angeles based firm which is headed by industry veterans Sean Brennan and Mark Dyne and has advised on a number of major industry deals in recent years.
It's expected that along with the Cheltenham and Manchester studios - accounting for some 160 employees - "Exclaim" will also take possession of several of Acclaim's products in development, including Interview with a Made Man and Heist.
