Thursday, 22nd May – Codemasters Online is pleased to announce they have opened the doors to their 500,000th player of its popular subscription-free MMORPG, ArchLord.

Since moving to free-to-play, ArchLord has seen explosive new player growth over recent months with more players than ever taking on the challenge to compete to become the all-conquering ArchLord and with it rule the entire game world.

Ed Relf, Director of Marketing, Codemasters Online commented, “This is a key milestone in the growth of ArchLord. ArchLord is a premier free-to-play MMORPG offering significantly more depth and quality than most other free-to-play games and this recent achievement solidifies our commitment to the ongoing development and success of ArchLord.”

To cope with the increased popularity for the game, Codemasters Online will shortly be opening an all-new game world to cope with the game’s substantially increased demand as they gear up for the next free content update Episode 3 due in the coming months.

ArchLord is a premier free-to-play online role-playing game allowing players to download and play the game for free with no monthly subscriptions or commitments. The online game challenges thousands of players each month to raise an army, to compete to become the game’s all-ruling ArchLord and with it control of the entire game world impacting on the lives of thousands of ArchLord players.
Gold sellers are usually an indication of the ArchLord economy. When there is a high demand for gold, the prices will rise, when the demand is low, the prices will fall.

If you are thinking about getting some gold, the time is definitely now. For less than $50.00 you can get 100 million ArchLord gold.

Ulric posted an update on the Asylum patch.
It's live since this maintenance and contains these things:

Additional content

* A new first floor has been added to the Asylum Dungeon with level 50-60 content. The old first floor is now the second floor.



New chantra Items

* Shout of Elemental (450 credits): This item allows you to send a message to the whole server.
* Signature of Glory (300 credits): This item allows you to give yourself a nickname. This will appear above your guild tag if you have one.
* Super Large Mana Potion (500 credits): This potion restores 450 mana when used.
* Combination potion (500 credits): This potion grants all the bonuses of the current potions in the chantra shop but in one drink. This can also be stacked with the Extra Large Giant, Light Speed, Defense and Agility potions. It will not stack with the Extra Large Evasion Potion.



Bug Fixes

* Guilds that fail to progress to the Rensphere staging area through the secret dungeon will no longer get stuck and have to manually teleport back. You will be automatically teleported back to your last visited village when the phase is over.
* Players will no longer be able to crash their client to evade the death penalty.
* You will no longer be able to make transactions that would lead you to losing gold if you would end up with over 200 million gold.
* Opening and closing your inventory when using a gathering skill will no longer ‘cancel’ the skill.
* Your sales window will no longer lose its textual information after a used metamorphosis potion runs out.
* The Firecrackers have been fixed and now properly display again when used.



Additional Changes

* The Archlord will now collect 20% of each castle’s generated revenue when funds are transferred into guild storage.
* There have been some behind the scene’s changes to the chat channels.
* Characters can no longer send mail to themselves.
* Elite Armour and Weapon Chests now drop anywhere in the game world with the same chance as a reinforcement potion.
Archlord will be represented on the Connect event. For the people going there, special in-game items will be available to anyone who bought a ticket.
