i played shadowbane before and loved it. played when dragonscale was reaching its peak. we owend every other nation that stepped up to us. i can't wait to play again.
Even with better graphics and such in newer games, no PvP has ever come even close to that of Shadowbane. "Play to crush" takes on a beautiful meaning when you CAN crush your opponents and their cities...
I don't know if a re-release or emulator will ever be able to capture the magic Shadowbane had at release, but I can’t think of a better MMO to emulate than Shadowbane. Most MMO gamers these days would rather have more vanity pets and mounts to select than top notch world PvP, so I doubt we’ll ever see the like of Shadowbane again, but here is to hoping.
@Propacesto That is what Fallen Thrones hopeful will bring to the table if the emulator lacks really bad.Either way a 80% done shadowbane is better than a non existent one :'(
This world needs more straight up PvP/GvG games like SB and less PvE nonsense that you could find better versions of in single player RPGs IMO. Easily the most fun I ever had in a video game.
I agree. This is the best PVP game ever created in the history of online games. I hope to see it working again. These games they got out these days justplain suck....SB is a true PVP'ers game. There are NO comparisons.
I have forever and I mean forever looked for an mmo with balls. Lotro failed to install, still waiting on Tribes universe and when I finally heard about shadowbane it was already dead :(
You can play all the world of Warcraft, Rift, planet side ( that was a cool game) runescape, lord of the rings andRPGs as you want but nothing, i repeat NOTHING compares to the epic'ness that was Shadow bane!!
SB was my first mmo, and since it stopped ive played prolly 10 diff onlines with pvp,,,, non compare, keep up the good work guys i totally need my afterwork fix, i need my SB! Btw for those fhat were from mourning,,,, VM RULES 8P
Everyone on their in-game vid recorders this time around; back the files up w/e u gotta do. We gonna need some epic offerings for the vids that are to come. SB was and now is the resurrected GOD of all gothic pvp mmos of all time

I remeber playing shadowbane while in Uni, my clan norseman had a city in the upper ice region on the entropy server. One day got our city baned by a chineese guild, so we had to wake up at 4-5 in the morning and call in as many favors as we could. The risk that we could loose the city with all the contractors / guards etc that we had worked so hard in just a few hours was a real adrenalin rush.
Have later tried to fill the void, but havnt succeeded yet, other games are just too nice.
Old..yes. T ech issues...some...the best PVP game of all time...definitely! Bring it back to us please!! lol I can't find anything like it and it's pissing me off. *Wishes for Shadowbane 2*
@amsp79 I've never played Shadowbane. Just out of curiosity, what make its PvP so good? I love PvP (always my favorite aspect of online games), so I'm very intrigued =D
It's the number or races and classes and mind boggling amount of combinations and viable builds. Unrestricted open world PvP with steep learning curve that doesn't cater to lowest common denominator. Ability to build non-istanced cities as well as ability to burn one to the ground. Living, player-driven economy and politics where you can truly rule or be ruled.
If you like these things Shadowcrack is your game! Google "shadowbane emulator" if you want to know more.
SBemu is roughly 2months from OPEN BETA, I am not an official represenative for SBemu, But I am relaying a message from the emulator site.
Shadowbane will soon rise again, our patience and perseverance will soon pay off thanks to the shadowbane emulator team.

The game was released in 2003. It's not surprising the graphics are dated.
SB still has better PvP than any of the current MMO's. I'll take gameplay over graphics any day of the week.

the pvp of SB is not about how fast to press hot key and cast skill/spell, but it is about tactic of survival and hunt/ be hunted
