Farewell, Shadowbane
Shadowbane is officially shutting down its servers on May 1. I have some pretty good memories from my time there as Blackguard the sneaky thief and Ishap the nearly invulnerable crusader. Of the time when I outlasted my entire clan and waltzed into our fallen city, staying alive for about 15 minutes against hundreds of enemies. And when I attacked the city of Moonglow alone because its name offended me (and won). And many other memories, good and bad. Farewell, Shadowbane.
I never played, but I hate to see any MMO close its doors.
There are some mmos that I hate to see shutdown…tabula rasa counts. Others, I’m indifferent … ryzom. Some I’m glad to see go…asheron’s call 2 and shadowbane. Put me in with the smug carebears enjoying post-trammel uo outliving the first of the only-hardcore-need-apply games.
