So, what needs to be done to this article? Well, descriptions of some of the races/classes would be nice, and exactly how does Shadowbane handle PvP? Mister.Manticore 01:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

dont even bother, this game sucks so bad noone is gonna come to this page. i checked out the game during freeplay and it is not worth writing about.

I have to say, the game is one of the better mmo's I have played. It is unfortunate that he technology is as old as it is, however the game itself is increadibly fun if you play it for a while. I will admit that it takes a while to get used to, but once you rework the interface (the defualt version is rather clunky, but it can be customized more then any game I have ever played) it is great. It has kept my interest longer then any of the other MMO's, and i have played alot of them. If you want to try it, do it, it is worth a try. Aerken

Well I did - and I found it useful. Still, maybe some more critical review would be nice. Aaron 04:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, something does need to be added. Maybe when I have some time I'll go into it.

Umm, this game isn't free, there's a trial, but it's only for 15 days... Mikey

Yes, it is. The game was made entirely free. See: http://chronicle.ubi.com/newspost.php?id=15088 Mister.Manticore 02:49, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

yes this game is 100% free, including the game and its expansions. About the article, I think a Gameplay/Interface section describing how to move, cast, etc would be greatly informative, especially considering that this game has a notably different interface than most mmorpgs. It is closer to diablo in this regard that to most other mmorpgs.

Only chronicles of strife is free. The others are not (they are 15 day trials). I think a map needs to be added and the story of the game. There are so many information lacking in this page. This includes: disciplines, starting traits and char. developmentAWP_Lizard

A map, is iffy, since that's usually copyrighted, but it could be acceptable as a screenshot. The rest is fine, if you know it, add it(though it is important to avoid making this article a guide to the game), however, copying and pasting material from another website is not acceptable. That is a violation of copyright and as such, had to be deleted. Mister.Manticore 04:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The page needs some info on what the game actually plays like. Do I just click on monsters and watch them die? Group tactics and missions? What?

Actually a map is not reasonable, since each world map is different depending on the server. User:LizardPariah

I fixed some parts of this article and I've posted more information the Shadowbane's gameplay and world maps. (I only posted the two most popular ones. I can post all if there's a request).--LizardPariah 07:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revenue?

One thing that I think would greatly improve the article would be a small mention regarding how the company makes money. I didn't see anything about this when I looked at the game's site (it was a very quick look, though). When I saw that the game was being offered for free, this was one of my first questions, and for the sake of curiosity this is something I'd like to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.201.3.17 (talk) 23:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
