Don't bother buying this, game is dead! 6 ppl online during evening prime time.
[h1]Make it open source so we can pick it up again and rebuild it.[/h1]
I played Shadowbane closed/open beta, for about 5 years religiously, them on and off for another 5. I even played the game after it was literally rebuilt by fans after it closed down for a few years.. I probably have 5000+ hrs played on this game. This steam version is a pale comparison to the game I loved. They turned it into a shameless cash grab. Buff potions which used to be an amazing help to players that didnt have friends online the buff them, cash only now. They nerfed drop rates for Stat runes and equipment just to push their cash shop on you. Speaking in which, the only way to successfully play this game and be competitive is to spend real cash and there shop isn't cheap. After release it was almost $100 for a bane stone for a rank 8 tree. $100...... I still can't believe it. They shamelessly plug their cash shop with daily deals and login rewards. If your interested in this game there is a better version available on the web. Search for Magicbane it's 1000x better than this cash grab.

Rest In Paradise. First time i played this was in 2006. Great game like W.O.W. Goodbye Shadowbane, me and Rux had some dreadful battles and great adventures. I will be waiting for people online to revive this like they do with every other mmo. Time to renew my wow subscription. Until next time. EDIT: ITS BACK!!! LOOK UP MAGICBANE! (2026) 2ND EDIT: ITS REALLY BACK NOW THEY BROUGHT THE GAME BACK!!! (Shadowbane: Resurgence)
Fell in love with the game when it first came out and still own by ubisoft. Played again a couple monts ago. Man, it didn't aged well.
bought it as I played it years ago.. ran the game from steam once.. and it won't start anymore. Keeps saying "Shadowbane can only be played once." Soooo don't buy this
This is a game I played years ago. I have always loved it. I can play alone or with a guild and either way I enjoy it very much.
DO NOT BUY!!!!!! You may remember the times when this ran on ubi servers.....which were not great... this is worse. a lot worse. cant even log in. do not pay $10 for a game you cannot play. I was ripped off, dont get ripped off
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful game called Shadowbane. Game isn't the right word...A "world" called Shadowbane, the first real world for real fights and awesome castles. A kind of siege warfare seen NOWHERE else, people have lost entire years of their life to this game. That being said, this COULD have been that, but hacking and cheating ran crazy, so the game died, again. As a little mage, I stood in Seadogs, for days at a time, begging and pleading with all who would listen to stop the cheating. They all laughed at me...... so here it is, the gravestone of Shadowbane.
The Chinese ruin another otherwise great game that had a ton of historical love.
