Are you brain dead? If you think a game population of 400 players in prime on a weekend for each of the last few servers is still kicking, you must be brain dead. I am informed as I still have a couple of guildmates that still play that I talk to in Ventrilo every night. Great Population my azz. I think you meant to say that nothing beats Shadowbane -----> when it was in its prime. I feel real bad for the recent (few) people that went out and bought Shadowbane only to log into a dead world.
Wow.
Post count has nothing to do with how much of a troll he is. The fact that you make that connection proves your already faulty logic.
It's the Shadowbane forums. The people over at Shadowbane are still making money, so it's not dead. Shadowbane still has more players in it than Lineage: The Bloodpledge NA servers, and they've been around for almost a decade. If NC Austin can do it, I'm sure Shadowbane can.
The best part of your whole post is when you praise the coming of Darkfall... It's not even out of closed beta yet, and somehow you know exactly what the finished product is going to look like, if indeed it will be released at all and not shutdown during development, how it's going to be percieved by the mass public, AND its effect on its competitors (ie Shadowbane)? Not even a market analyst could say with certainty what would happen. So when did you acquire clairvoyance?

I agree with Lobo. this game is a great game, but anyone who thinks it is alive is in denial.
400 is usually prime time (i have a friend who just recently quit) and no, the population isn't on the rise.
Just had 70ish people online in my nation.
We are not the biggest nation on Vindication.
I will say I dont know EVERY single person, because of a couple new subs we have, but I know atleast 70% of the people. A hibernian, or Horde player, will never even get to know 1% of there realm.
SB isnt dead. There is enough of a playerbase to keep the pvp going at any given time, and if you REALLY want to try to kill alot of people, bane a big nation.
Words mean nothing, only actions.
For anyone who thinks this game is still at a good population yes their not to wise.
But whoever is saying this game is at a shitty population (Lobo) yes your a dumbass
Vindictation on prime has near 800 and redemption can get up to 400 on a Prime day now mourning and wrath yes their dead but anyone who says this game is unplayable because of the PoP their dumbass's and need to go make a character on Vindictation. And to you Lobo what did you play this game like at release and didnt like the bugs and quit? And quit cause i mean you gotta lot of hate for this game. Or maybe you tried your luck in a real PvP game and got your ass handed to you and went home crying and ran back to your pathetic Carebear games aka WoW/Lineage/Final Fantasy
Dude seriously man dont talk shit about something or someone when you really dont even know what your talking about. Its people like you that seriously make me wish I was a Butterfly so i could fly to your house and spit acid in your eyes while you sleep!.!
Yea, known as the mindless zerg era. Zerg zerg zerg... no skill. Guild vs Guild, Nation vs Nation is where its at, not Zerg vs Zerg. Nows the time to prove yourself, you dont have to hide behind that zerg.
Well I'm giving SB another try..I followed the game religiously back in 2000,beta tested the game in 2002 where I quickly became very disappointed.. It had the makings to be great,but at that time EQ was still actually fun to play.. SB's graphics belonged in the year 2000,not 2003,and definitely not now in 2006.. Although graphics isn't everything in a MMO,look at eq2,the gameplay is so bad I dont care how great the graphics are.. Gameplay is important to me,but so are grpahics..
I really hope UBI makes some much needed changes to SB.. I don't know if another expansion is in the works,but If there is PLEASE TUNE UP THE GRAPHICS AND GET RID OF THE ANNOYING MOUSE MOVEMENT.. I understand I haven't logged into the game in 3 years,and perhaps some things have been changed and upgraded since then,but with decent PVP mmo's slated to be released this year,Darkfall and The Chroncle will be the end of SB if changes arent made soon..
So today SB will have one more person logging in,as to how long SB keeps my interest,well that remains to be seen..
