Here are the reasons why:
1. No restrictions. You can have player justice anytime, anywhere.
2. You can burn your enemy to the ground.
3. Most indepth lore I have EVER seen. Go look at the lore forums. Meridian__WP does a GREAT job with the games lore, and he listens to the players as well. Example of some of the lore:

4. Fast leveling, if your part of a nation or guild. The game is built around groups of people, if you find a group, you level faster than ANY game out there.
5. INDEPTH Politics, that you can totally ignore if wanted, or dive into.. all player made

All games have problems. Most of shadowbanes problems have been solved. The developers continue to tweak the code, the lore, and add expansions to it. Shadowbane is not dead, but is growing.

I totally agree with you on shadowbane, it is a great game the only thing that people have on it to bash is the grafix and some bugs which have been fixed with the power patch. I have been playin ince 02 and i have had no complaints yet, only that they need to update there 3d engine, that is all of my flamer comments about the game. I love the economy and society and politic features in this game. This is the first game I have seen where there are no guidlines on how to play the game, you can play any way that you please.In this I mean there are no quest. This is a big plus in my book!!!!!!!
SHADOWBANE WILL RISE NOT FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new graphics engine would be nice, but I am afraid if they did that all the nice pretty graphics woudl cause incredible amounts of lag. So for now I am satisfied with the graphics.
To the person that says SB will not work on their machine that is really weird. I have heard of a few problems but not that many.

At one point the orginal devs had the cpu processing everything but that was changed around 5 or 6 patches ago. Now the vid card does its share of the work too.
