If you don't like PvP aspects of Shadowbane, then I really dont' know why you would want to join it. Shadowbane is only PvP game. So, if you don't like PvP, you don't like the game.

I must say that I'm a bit jealous at your nonchalance with your beta accounts. Some of us are really trying to get into some betas to do beta testing, while you give off the image that you keep getting offers and it's only the opportunity to play more games for free. That kindda blows, if for no other reason that it's people like you that are supposed to be finding bugs in these games, not compete on who's gonna have more beta accounts.

If I were to get beta acceptance it would probably be in the final phase, were they are testing for bandwidth - not bugs.

Thats what happened with DAoC, AO and Neverwinter Nights.

The only one I actually did some *testing* on was Ultima Online: Third Dawn. And that was very thin as all it was was a graphical upgrade.

And at that... you find bugs by playing... playing for free. So if you sign up with the intention of finding bugs, your going to have a hard job where to start. So the best way to test, is to play. Was Pete Hines or Todd Howard who said that "To suceed you have to play", or something along those lines. What he meant was that the best way to stable game design is to play it at every stage.

Besides, 98% of beta testers only sign up 'cause they want to play before anyone else.
