l enjoyed playing this game for a few months did the whole high lvl end game it was a blast =)

It's awesome that these guys were able to keep things going for the game's fans and subscribers. Hopefully it will keep other MMO's from suffering the "world ending fate" before their time.

Also, bravo to Ubisoft for helping with this transition.

Shadowbane has the best PVP bar none. Nothing even comes close. It is still the only mmo with full city building. But most impressively actual roleplaying was the best excuse to PVP because the Lore was amazingly duplicitous. On Mourning server, all of the strongest roleplaying guilds were roleplaying lore based guilds. Interestingly, out of all mmo's yet, SB has the strongest tightest guilds because to not join one means death and dispair.

Shadowbane is not for solo players.
Shadowbane is not for questers.
Shadowbane is not for wimps.
Shadowbane is not for people who like to waste half their life leveling just one toon.

Shadowbane is for tactical PVP.
Shadowbane is for large scale wars with purpose.
Shadowbane is for fast access to endgame content.
Shadowbane is for city building and management.
Shadowbane is for tight social guilds.
Shadowbane is for vigilantes.
Shadowbane is for massive political strugles.
Shadowbane is for micromanagement of character attributes. (tweaking)
Shadowbane is for people who want to be able to kill the person next to them who is being an idiot and not prevented because of some artificial rule like "factions" or "safe zones".
Shadowbane is for roleplayers who think that other players can roleplay better than a prewritten script.

Shadowbane only had 3 weak points, but they were very important weak points that would have killed any other game almost immediately. The fact that Shadowbane did so well despite these 3 weaknesses prove the success of the rest of its features.

1. Unstable
2. Outdated graphics.
3. No quests.

Can you think of any other mmo that would have lasted more than a day with those 3 weaknesses?

Now imagine if SBG makes a game with SB's strengths and none of its weaknesses... yeah, i wet myself too.

Love,

shadowbane was lightyears head of the rest. WOW is great, but personally I thought shadowbane is on par if not better in a few areas.

Hummm sounds pretty interesting

So they didn't pull the plug after all. And it seems to be free now as well. Still looks like there's nothing in this game for me though. High levels spanking lowbies, macros, people dual logging... Nothing for carebears or role-players who enjoy a good quest once in a while.

don't know the game.

Seems whether its MMO or single player, the PC games market is getting more and more "Great game - out next year" and in the next 3-6 months "nothing". For every game announced as "Great!" last year, about 5 more that were announced as "great" last year turned out crap on release.

Whatever angle you look at PC gaming, it don't look good.

You're all a bunch of carebears, Shadowbane owns.

Thankyou SBG, for keeping our game alive.

i've heard WoW is a good game....()

QUOTE="...revealed that former Wolfpack members have formed a new studio, Stray Bullet Games, which has been contracted by Ubisoft to maintain Shadowbane."END QUOTE Kind of cool that Ubi didn't blatantly pull the plug. They met them halfway. So the 20,000 or so Shadowbane subscribers aren't left high and dry. However, Dear Shadowbane players: it's time to move on dude

never heard of th game

who cares

So many MMO's, so little time to play them.

Shadowbane wasn't very good, so I don't look forward from anything this goon does.

Looks interesting.. hmm.

TOO MANY MMOs flooding market, how do they survive. Just one takes a crapload of time

Shadowbane, gross.

Shadowbane wasn't very good.

Thats neat wonder if it good games will come out of this.

To bad about Shadowbane not seeing another game.

The name Stray Bullet sounds pretty cool just hope it will be able to see good games other then a cool name.
