in Shadowbane
Okay, I'm going to say it, so don't all snap your pencils at once. Shadowbane needs a little more content and a P vs E server.
That's right, a P vs E server. I would go back to this game in a heartbeat if the ganking was removed, or least limited to city sieges. Playing Shadowbane, I found I liked the weapons, the armor, the character customization and the Diablo-type/Conan-type world feel to the game. That desert city was especially cool.
Make no mistake, it wasn't graphics or lag that killed this game, it was unrestricted rampant griefing.

You know I liked the Diablo/Conan feeling too, and my nation controlled the desert area.
A PvE server for Shadowbane would never work. The open PvP was always the most appealing thing about SB, and all the way until its death it probably still will be. PvE in SB is pretty flat anyway. I do love how grouping doesn't make you lose out on XP compared to solo ( no other game is like that ), how quick leveling is, etc.. but as far as PvE, if people didn't need to level up to r7 to participate in endgame PvP, and if people didn't need money and runes from farming, then no one would be doing any PvE in SB at all!
Ganking and griefing is what SB is all about. In the game's dark atmosphere it fits in quite well I think. I need to cut this post off, it's way too late at night to be writing coherently..

The introduction of patch 3.0 will usher in resources, and resource mines that will be fought over. What this does is create a daily situation where people must struggle for control over resources, and people might not have a whole lot of time left over to go around randomly ganking.

Now, when I suggest a P vs E server, I mean one server, not changing all of them. Have one server where folks can cooperate and level together. Toss in a few dungeons, maybe.
I always enjoyed the first few levels of Shadowbane, because they were P vs E. Afterwards, is where is went downhill for me.
Nice thought, but I dont know how many ppl you would have on a server. Even most of the "carebear" guilds have baddie alts that they go out and PK with. Its just whats appealing about the game...Striving to be better than that punk that just ganked me ><
