Subscriptions are being dropped and Ubisoft are looking into alternate revenue models.
Although a problematic start (not least of which being the Euro distributor going into liquidation prior to release), I actually thought the game offered something very different to the other mmorpgs on the scene. It was definately a game where I missed a strong CW presence with its politics and warfare - could have been great

I have been playing SB for a while again - Its changed alot but for the better however its not the greatest game all round. PvP is fun but can prove one sided with lots of 1 vs more battles. I have managed to rebuild my thief and spend time slaying players at banks but its not as profitable as it was
