So Shadowbane is free to play now. <

Seems that there's a whole sub-market of free MMOs building up. First with Anarchy Online, and then Korean entries like Silkroad, and now Ubisoft put their PvP centric title Shadowbane into the ring.<

<

Looks like everything is free. Game + Expansion, everything included. I expect some catch will come along somewhere down the line, or perhaps this is the setup for a sequel planned, but I figure 'Hey, free MMO, cool'.<

<

So check it out or something.<
>
<
>
Create a Ubi.Com account here. This will automatically have a free Shadowbane + Expansion account linked to it.<
>
<
>
Download the game here or here or here, if you have a Mac. <i></i>

I saw an announcement of this type on http://www.mmorpg.com yesterday, but when I went to Shadowbane's website and looked around, there was no mention of this free thing anywhere. There was, however, mention of many "rumors" of account issues, and apparently some login bugs.<
>
<
>
Anyway, I'll go look around again. I did Shadowbane in beta, and didn't like it much, but free = let's go check it out and see what's changed .<

You have a way of painting a picture Givin, really makes me want to try this fantastic game. <i></i>

I loved Shadowbane... but it did indeed have some flaws. Played it for about a year. Like no end game It's all just PvP for the sake of ganking people. Oh wait, it's fun cause you can loot shit off bodies at least <i></i>

Curious... when is the last time you played it Givin?<

I also thought Shadowbane sucked, but I also recognize that it's been 2+ years since I played it. A lot can change in 2 years, for good or bad, in an mmorpg. Just look at SWG ! <

Small group encounter Shadowbane was fun. Raids were not. <i></i>
