It has begun…
As you may know, The Chronicles of Spellborn goes free to play.
With a somewhat rocky launch, The Chronicles of Spellborn by Acclaim, has decided to go the free route due to lackluster reception, however, his doesn’t mean that the game is at all bad, it’s just a decision by Acclaim. RezPLS was able to play the game during closed and open beta, and everyone here thoroughly enjoyed the game play. CoS has a fresh style to mmorpg’s, as it uses a more active combat system, allowing you to set up really interactive combos using the “skilldeck” system.
But there’s a twist…
Acclaim will not be releasing new updates or patches for the game, which means the game is essentially “frozen”. Acclaim does state that they plan to continue to create events and allow players to do the same as well. Hopefully this doesn’t place the coffin in the grave for CoS, only time will tell.

This just in, but you have to act quick. Second Skin, a movie which looks at gaming addiction of the mmo crowd, is being shown online, but only through today (8/13th). Afterwards, it’ll be out on video later this month.
