The more I read about this game, the more intrigued I am by it. Anyone try it? I liked Earth and Beyond, but I hated the leveling treadmill. I've heard that Shadowbane is along the same lines, where it is mostly player run and very little treadmilling. Any experiences would be nice to know.

Don't waste your money on Shadowbane, It's not worth it.

Eve Online is probably the most accurate space MMOG.

Accurate being that theres nothing to do in space.

Skaw, lemme guess, you played in beta?

Things changed - it's still not a game where you get instant gratification for everything you do, and it still requires you to actually think in order to play, but it's fun. Beats E&B by miles.

Shadowbane is a piece of excrement, covered in a layer of moldy fungus, topped with some fresh bile.

Ah, betcha he spent 2 hours mining while you were there eh?

There's actually enough to do, but it's not really all served up nice on a silver platter; since you can go a lot of different ways with the game, you usually have to hunt around a little bit to find the proper place and all.

Now you know how I feel about MOO3.

I was fairly active in the SB community early on, too, but when I heard about the click-to-move, emphasis on PVP, and "play 2 krush" campaign mentality, I immediatly recognized it as a really, really bad idea.

I admit click to move is annoying, but is it really that bad? for a 3rd person game its ok, like in D2

For a third person, fixed perspective game it's not bad.

Don't get me wrong, the game has potential if you enjoy more of a multiplayer FPS mentality in your ORPG.

I don't even enjoy a multiplayer FPS mentality in my FPS's
