Shadowbane Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Shadowbane is a massively multiplayer online fantasy role-playing game (MMORPG) created by Wolfpack Studios and published on March 25, 2003 by Ubi Soft for Windows and Mac platforms. As with most commercial MMORPGs, Shadowbane requires a monthly fee to play in addition to purchasing the client software.The game takes place in a dark fantasy world called Aerynth. Gameplay features many aspects typical of computer role-playing games, such as experience points, character classes, and fantasy races.
Shadowbane is notable for emphasizing player-versus-player combat. The majority of MMORPGs released since Ultima Online restrict player killing to certain areas of the game or special dedicated PvP servers. Also interesting is that players in Shadowbane play in the same game world, instead of being in separate shards or servers.
The first expansion, Rise of Chaos, was released on December 9, 2003. As of 2004, Ubisoft (which acquired Wolfpack in early 2004) is working on another expansion.
