Shadowbane Staves Off Shutdown

Shadowbane avoids the Zapper again.

Why bother? Does anyone even play anymore?

if they would upgrade the engine and the lag from sieges would be gone, I would so play this.

Its got such a cool framework for an mmo. If it could only be reborn with modern graphic quality and working siege weapons. The whole idea that any group of opportunistic, cunning and ruthless players in a persistent world can achieve the ability to build huge castles and tax merchants etc is so cool. Feudal wars over valuable land and inevitable collections of players and assets formed to launch a full scale war against another city is very cool. I guess I loved the fact that the players created the lore and stories in real time. The most powerful clans absorbed lesser clans until constant border skirmishes would incite the inevitable attempt to raze your oppositions assets by any means possible, including staging an attack in off hours to exploit low population count and the infiltration of double agents, nothing was too despicable. It was all out, anything goes, life is not fair, stfu carebear PVP but when the battles happened the servers would crash and it was so frustrating. That is what ultimately burned me out was the fact that important parts of the game didnt work as intended. When I went back for a sentimental visit it just looks so bland and dated and empty but for a while that game was really cool.

i remember one of the coolest things was rolling up a centaur.

woohoo..

They should have turned it into a single player game :D
