Codemasters Online is pleased to announce the opening of a new server for the hugely popular free-to-play MMORPG ArchLord. The new world, Evengarda is set to expand ArchLord to unprecedented levels allowing players to create new characters on a fresh new world, all from the same starting level.

Since moving to a 100% free-to-play MMORPG in August 2007, ArchLord’s popularity has exploded with a rise in the number of players of over 600% across both Europe and North America.

To celebrate the launch of Evengarda, Codemasters Online have announced a week long treasure hunt taking place in the new world. During this event hundreds of silver, gold and platinum chests will be spread far and wide across the new world, as players come in search of these hidden treasures.

Adam McGowan, Product Marketing Manager, Codemasters Online commented, “This hugely popular MMO is currently going from strength to strength since going 100% free-to-play in August 2007. We are incredibly pleased to see the recent surge of new players entering the game and we look forward to growing the game service further with yet more new game content coming online in the forthcoming months.”
