Shadowbane Beta Impressions - Page 17

Qalar-Drinal · 03-26-2003, 08:43 AM

The coolest thing about beta I forget to mention is getting PKed by your own guildmates right after you take money out of the bank! /pwn

Today is the big release day(wednesday). We'll see how it starts this afternoon!

Yeah got shadowbane! Try to subscribe and its like watching snails fuck. The subscrition server is so bogged down with people it takes a good 2 hrs to sign up.. and then 1 out of every 10 credit cards might work. Then you get to the login screen. Yay the login servers down on the first day. Wait for 3 more hours. Try to login invalid pword.. WTF!? Then you get that shit straightened out and your so pissed off you dont even want to play. Yeah.. I love this game........................ *cough*

Qalar-Drinal · 03-26-2003, 07:55 PM

Iannis · 03-26-2003, 09:18 PM

Reminds me of Earth and Beyond release. Fuggin login server.

Although I must say that is a great improvement over EQ banks. KILL THE ANNOYING ASS MULE LEECHES! "U gotz spare golds n lewt?"

That's funny...I signed up around noon today and it took about 5 min, but not too bad. Game looks great so far.

I've got about 20 guild mates who would kill you.

Have any of you been to the mall the day before christmas? Good, because thats what release day is like for every mmorpg, get used to it.

Unless of course its a steaming pile of shit and no one bought it.

***The following has been copy/pasted (originally written by myself) from another thread that has died. ***

What server is everyone playing SB on?

Since I pre-ordered and figured I would have it by now, I won't be able to play until late tomorrow, heh (my luck is impeccable with these things). I probably won't get one of the promo codes to unlock the races either, a problem that many have been having.

Blackdoom · 03-27-2003, 12:08 AM

sometimes i forget that i'm playing shadowbane, not daoc

Ham n Cheese · 03-27-2003, 01:01 AM

on fear w/ebonlore.

Anyone who officially registers a complaint about the game and/or Wolfpack due to the shitty release deserves a kick to the teeth.

Its common knowledge by now that MMOG's get a one month grace period to sort their shit out.

I'll probably pick the game up in a few weeks after the shit has settled.

Buzze · 03-27-2003, 10:40 PM

Got it today, FedEx was about 3 hours earlier than I expected, /applaud. :P

I'm also on the Fear server. I heard that Ebonlore is a guild full of homosexual gimps with a transvestite leader on the info channel tonight, heh talk about helpful information. What is your opinion from the inside of the largest guild on the server? I'm not trying to start a fight really, but this is what I heard from the channel tonight.

I'm up to the big level 13 now, maybe we will fight someday.

Cybsled · 03-27-2003, 11:07 PM

Heh the death server was around 890-900 people and the lag got really bad. No joke...I had to run the same 100 feet over and over and over constantly. Made playing it pretty hard.

Hopefully this is their primary goal to fix ;p

Well, Shadowbanes beta has some rather unique problems....mainly with their billing system. Basically if you are considering Shadowbane do NOT play until they resolve these issues.

Theres one guy who signed up for a 1 year subscriptions....and got charged 9 times on his debit card for over $1000 dollars. This was NOT a credit card, but his checking account, so he's completely broke till UBI works things out.

ALOT of people are seeing multiple charges of 1-2 dollars each, which may not be a big deal, or it could be a huge one if that means that have multiple subscriptions activated.

From what it looks like is that their billing system is charging you for ever failed attempt. If you timeout....charge, if you get a blank white page....charge.....and since their billing system has been completely messed up, alot of people are getting hit by it.

Now the games ok, but don't risk your grocery money to play.
