actually its a little more complicated than that. heres the steps to playing SB:

Step 1: create a ubisoft account

Step 2: go to current subscriptions

Step 3: select 'add a subscription' than choose SB (dont worry the subscription is free but they do this because they r retards lol)

Step 4: download SB

Step 5: run SB, create character, & join server

Step 6: HAVE FUN!!!

It's kinda irritating that the site required to sign up will only work with internet explorer.  I try not to use it because its not as secure as firefox.  I wonder what the payoff amount to microsoft is.

Is all content free?

I see they are still selling The Throne of Oblivion from 2004 for $14.99

store.ubi.com/item.jsp

Is there any reason to buy it?

lol. Well, Here I go. Going to give SB a shot again. I'm an old school player from back when it first came out, I played on Treachery server. Heard it's changed a lot, look forward to see what it has become since the Wrath server days.

This was great ty- very clever

Still if your looking for a free game id say you simply can not do better.

Next time just *try* to read other posts, ok?

This game is totally fully all time free! 15 days free trial is outdated. It is said on main page.

The other problem are servers, that are at this moment off line... in my case. I downloaded game via torrents, bcs fileshack is not free, installed it, patched, created an account and... nothing.

No such user/wrong password info and servers state at http://chronicle.ubi.com/ is N/A

pitty.

BTW check that:

Customer... (just open it with WinAmp - it's m3u)

if u don't want this happen to you, don't play too much

The Chronicle does not display the server information properly. There are servers up and playing.

You don't though. They also have it on some forums stating that you can just download the trial version but it comes with the entire game and you can play after the 14 days are up, for free. So just download the trial and trust me, I have been playing it for almost a month now on my Vampire, and haven't given them any information to bill.

OMG... than all these problems with connection were just... problems with incorrectly created account! God Dammit!

And on their forum, in thread dedicaded to servers problems is so much fuss and chaos, that i couldn't understand wth... -_-'

ignore the main sites saying its a trial,the game and its 2 expansion packs have been free for over a year now. the only thing you have to do is register an account with ubisoft.

get the full client from gamers hell.
