Description

Darkness has fallen upon the world of Aerynth. Only a century ago the Elves and the Sons of Men fought their final battle, a battle so terrible that Aerynth itself was shattered, and all of the world’s children were plunged into an Age of Strife. ...

Shadowbane suddenly becomes free

Posted on Thursday, 16 March 2006 by Ryuken, source: Ubisoft

In a surprising move, Wolfpack and Ubisoft have made the PvP-heavy mmorpg Shadowbane a free game.

A more complete announcement will be released shortly but for now it seems everyone is invited to play this game without being charged for it. The official site has some details already:

There will be a more in-depth announcement coming soon but, in the meanwhile, I wanted to let our community know that this is not an error. Existing users can now open up their Account Manager and their accounts will now be working, allowing them to play Shadowbane for free! This does include those who had previously canceled accounts!

In addition, those who wish to try out Shadowbane for the first time will also be able to. All you have to do is create a new ubi.com account and then click on Add a Subscription, and you will have free access to the lands of Aerynth! This is not a Free-Trial subscription and it will not run out in 15-days. This is completely free!

If you are looking for a place to download the Shadowbane client, you can get it from FilePlanet by clicking here for the PC version, and here for the Mac version! While these version are labeled for the "Free Trial", they are full versions of the game client and any active accounts can be used to play using them.

It looks like Ubisoft is following the Anarchy Online trend by releasing their main game for free (but they'll probably ask money for anyone who wants access to the expansions, we'll see). This month, that other PvP-mmog (mmofps actually), PlanetSide, will have a special one-year trial for newcomers.

I wouldn't recommend it for the graphics nor the PvE gameplay (which is totally absent actually). It is real, unforgiving player vs player.

Is that all you get to do in this game?

Well, on a higher level things get more complicated, guilds and politics then really make things neat, but you have to wait a while to get to the good part.

Lol I sort of agree, but I'm bored waiting for Oblivion so I''m just going to try it out.

*Waves @ Agent* Hey, yeah I'm here sort of, I'm on and off.
