I simply took out the targets that were a threat to my high defense... then the rest were like fish in a bucket. Shadowbane will always have a special place in my heart. As someone said before, it had more potential than any game has ever had (or will for years) it just fell short of realizing the dream because of the lack of resources to properly develope the game. 744887@blogcritics.org Wed, 3 Sep 2008 21:17:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/02/101131.php#comment-735087 Shadowbane suffered from terrible bugs and has turned into a pure gank server. People gank lower levels anytime and anywhere even in thier own cities when you try to shop. Most PVP is all about then getting you when your shopping and in superior numbers. the times of questing and controlling areas are over and so is any of the fun it used to be when there were large clans patrolling areas and they had some honor. 735087@blogcritics.org Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:55:51 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/02/101131.php#comment-603843 shadowbane by far had the most potential of any mmo ever made, if blizzard was smart they would buy all the rights to shadowbane revamp there own wow software with its ideas in mind, and make a special server for an immersing, competitive mmo experience! 603843@blogcritics.org Thu, 21 Jun 2007 04:18:35 EDT
