good news, well kind of. ive just made and image with nero of the SB Oblivion Dvd. it is on torrent now. thought i would try to make things a bit easier for people. i dont have the fastest internet speed in the world but its enough to start seeding anyways. my isp caps my uploads to 45kb/s. im hoping some people with fast connections can download as well to help the seeding if possible. Shadowbane is a great game. was one of my favorite beta's as well. anyways, included with this folder is the nfo file with the post the devs made on SB site. also has daemon tools so you can just load the image and install that way. either way, here it is. enjoy 8)
oh and ashen, if what i am doing is a problem feel free to let me know and i will pull the plug
sorry to the 4 people downloading right now, uploads are not that great, but over the next couple days there should be more peers to speed the process. thanks
im downloading now woooo..thanks for link tigris!!!....all of us from mmorpg.com who are now getting SB shud all try and jump on same server and try and stick together for mutual protechtion...who knows even create mmorpg.com populated city!!!! my name in every game is GIRO so if you see me dont hesistate to approach me guys!!!
was thinking about a few things, i think its great what there are doing. if this is going to be free forever they should revamp their patcher to work off of torrent or at least pull together all the latest patches and put into one installer and let the community host these files for them.
costs alot to patch all these new players flocking into SB and losing money is not a good thing. would probably save wolfpack/ubi quite a bit of money. i doubt anyone would complain, hell no one should be complaining.....Its free.
i know there are alot of people out there who dont think they should host files for other people and thats cool. cant say they are wrong, its their choice and their bandwidth. there are plenty of us that would gladly host these files. they could just have a sticky in main forums with the links to all the community downloads.
also thanks to the people who are grinding out torrent xp right now. even if you guys already have the game, if you can help with this torrent, that would be awsome. would be nice to see in a couple weeks time a few hundred seeders 8)
It's actually not a bad little game. I am quite surprised at how good the interface, combat, graphics and sound are considering the age. At first I thought all the mobs are bunched into a corner, then I realise that is deliberate so that you meet people there rather then spread out. Only downside to that is the world feels more barren. That's really my only real negative. Overall I was impressed, hard to be overly critical of a FREE game. I don't know about anyone else, but a while ago Shadowbane and Horizons were kind of lumped together in the "low pop, low quality mmogs" category. Certainly in 2003. Now it is 2006 and Shadowbane has had a couple of expansions and now it is free. Just makes Horizons look even more stupid. Of course it may backfire if server pops don't grow, people will start saying "They can't even GIVE the game away".
A genuine 7/10 and I would say AO and Shadowbane are joint first for best free game, with possibly Shadowbane getting a foot ahead due to be 2 years newer. I never thought I'd be saying (well typing anyway) that.
guys guys guys....what servers you on?? lemme know so we stand a chance of having friendly people to play with...with a little co-ordination we can play together and not just send posts together!
I'm still betting on Shadowbane 2 being in the works. It's got to be going free for a reason, right? RIGHT, Ashen, RIGHT?? I've been stalking him from board to board and he still won't give me any sekret info! I'll wager 10 EQ2 plat that they'll announce some sort of Shadowbane 2 soon-ish!
Hey guys i was able to download it and make it work! IS everyone going on Vindication? I think Im gonna go for Wrath, because it has a slightly higher population with more guilds, and loreplay seems to restrict grouping. But above all we should group up and stick together

Yeah, I'm on Mourning. name is Osyyrus. I'm willing to move to any server though, I don't hink I'm gonna keep this character for long. Wherever I am, my name will be some conotation of Osyyrus (Osyrus, Osiris, blah blah)
I dont know about Vindication, the loreplay seems to restrict grouping alot....
from what ive read, regardless if we want to group up from this site, we have to be of the same faction on Vindication - meaning certain proffessions cant group up together...unless we join a player faction.

Somebody pick a server, lol. I played till level 5 with my sketch character, now I'm gonna start my real characer, need to know where everybody is..............
Go Mourning, in my opinion. All race all class guilds, so ultimatly you end up experiencing more of what the game offers. On Vindication, the Lore server, there are restrictions on what races and classes may join guilds. Either way, seems like most are going to Mourning, and the more the merrier.
hmm...I tried playin today...I keep getting an access violation error and it says some other things but didn't memorize it. Lets me play for about 5 minutes then that happens. I'll just try again tomorrow heh. Might have to reinstall or something. I have a few lvl 50s on mourning from back in the day...and 2 lvl 30s
Originally posted by TormentTom It says Mourning is low pop.
Yeah, that thing is messed up, don't go by it too much. It says that Wrath has a decent population, when in fact it is barren. Mourning and Vindi are the way to go, and of the two I say Mourning.
I wouldnt go for mourning becuase of the low pop. Even though there are some restrictions, no restrictions on mourning doesnt seem to make up for it. You will still be playing with a higher total number of players, even if it isnt PVE. Besides, im going for the pvp, not Pve.
EDIT: Interesting, your right, it isnt accurate. I see alot of guild towns in Mourning. Interesting.

I can't recall a better mmorpg ever going totally free like this.
Even those vaguely interested should definetly give it a try.
