Shadowbane VS AoC

It's sad to say but I'm enjoying SB more than I did the "next Gen" AoC! SB has much more fluid gameplay as opposed to AoC with its myriad of instances, horrific lag and memory leaks that still cause crashes and the screen to go all funny during mid play. Also I paid for AoC through the nose and got Shadowbane lite with great graphics sound but almost none of the features I was looking forward to!
Shadowbane has below par graphics but great gameplay and character customizations defeats AoC easily. AoC has great graphics, sound and that's all the rest is dire in my opinion. So I salute Shadowbane for achieving 6 years ago what AoC fails miserably at today!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

Its sad that no game has what it take to take Sb's pvp crown. To bad its free we'll never see a new xpack etc. But your right its better then AOC as far a pvp goes.
Yeah, too bad the engine was archaic and the game bugged as hell at release. If they actually took their time during development and got it right, it wouldn't have ended the way it ended. Anyhow, best MMO out there as far as PvP goes. And PvP aside, it has some great features that should definitely be integrated in the next MMOs.
Btw, if you like Shadowbane, you might as well keep an eye for Darkfall. Hopefully it should be worthy of keeping up with SB's legacy.
I am tired of SB after 5 years so I would chose AoC, AoC has pvp, better graphics & more game play and end game... AoC is a better game but if maybe shadowbane was revamped and did right then I would have to choice SB
