Ashen Empires
''Ashen Empires'', (formerly developed as ''Dransik'', but later upgraded graphics engine and re-branded by TKO Games), is a two-dimensional MMORPG created by Jason "Lothgar" Ely and now owned by Iron Will Games. It was released for a free, open beta in 2002 and later officially released in 2003.
==Origins==
The original ''Dransik'' game, now known as ''Dransik Classic'', was built in honor of Ultima V by Jason Ely, one of the U8 developers and Doug Gesler. Its graphics resemble the tileset used in that game, but in SVGA.〔(Ultima: The Reconstruction )〕 ''Dransik Classic'' is still available for play using the Pixel Mine launcher. The modern game was originally known as ''Dransik'', and was an upgraded version of the original Dransik game, which utilized an older graphics engine. The game was first launched through an open, free beta in September, 2002, by its original publisher, Asylumsoft Inc..〔(About IWG )〕 After the beta-testing stage was complete, the game started following a pay-to-play model on March 10, 2003.〔(Dransik Navy & Marines ), Dransik Navy & Marines, a Dransik guild, accessed October 4, 2007〕
At that time, a monthly subscription fee was required to play (a business model seen in many MMORPG's, including World of Warcraft and EverQuest). Iron Will Games later decided to allow users to play for free, but with a limited experience. Until early 2008, players could only receive 10% of all experience gained, were limited in tradeskills they can use and couldn't perform certain tasks such as using the party system, trade table, pickup and drop objects/items to the ground or loot certain mobs. In early 2008, these restrictions were relaxed so that: non-subscribing players now receive 50% of all experience gained; can party with other non-subscribers; can table trade freely with other non-subscribers; can table trade with subscribers but only to receive, not give items.
In 2009, subscriptions were ended and the game became free to play, but added a pay system to earn in-game bonuses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=AE is Free! )〕
