I saw this post on Anandtech and the game looked pretty interesting so I thought I would post it here. I have not tried the game yet though. According to the OP they are planning on releasing a sequal. That could explain why this is now free.

Many members of the Shadowbane Community have already noticed that a change has occured to the Billing System today; one that allows players to play for free!
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 https://secure.ubi.com/billing/default.aspx]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.
No longer will players, existing and new alike, be charged to adventure in the lands of Aerynth! If you happen to be a new player or have not adventured in Shadowbane for many an age, makes sure you check out the Getting Started guide. You can also view the Shadowbane Version and Patch History to see what has changed over the last few years.
I know Predator will get on me about posting on such an old thread, but I've been busy with my dying father and all so I haven't had time as of late.
Shadowbane isn't that great. I tried it not too long ago and I was very unimpressed. I'm assuming the engine has some issues with ATI drivers (what game engine doesn't?) but the game wasn't even good enough for me to attempt a workaround. The game controls are finicky and unimaginative. Graphics are much less than stellar. Its a far cry (no pun intended) from being a great game and after the 3rd GPU crash, I decided to call it quits.
Well, I know this isn't the thread for it, but he's got malignant cancer in his neck. The tumor is about the size of an orange and it's already cut off all air to his left lung.
He's refusing professional medical treatment for religious and conspiratory reasons.
