just wondering because i saw a post in silent death's forum last night about it, so i decided to have a look and when i found out about the player run environment, the ability to create your own villages/towns/cities/citadels etc... for your guild/yourself i have to say it looks very nice on that side of things, like another post in that thread says, you could have an assassins guild who have their own village in the middle of some deep enchanted forest, who could get contracted out to kill various high ranking guild members for cash etc...
If you get found i suppose you could simply burn the village and move the guild somewhere else before anyone else could bring a force to get revenge on the hand that had willingly been the tool of a guilds demise etc... then rebuild the village perhaps in some high unexplored mountain where nobody would look for you or something.
basically what i'm saying is that it's interactive, and that counts because daoc really isnt, there's no particular way to do anything which will change realm balence, in shadowbane you can lay waste to entire countries and hold them undersway, you can climb the political ladder and rule a half decent kingdom fighting off the swords and poisons of opposing guilds trying to make headway into your lands etc... in daoc you have the main game in a nice little boxed off area where you can't do anything to it if your an enemy realmer, the only effect you can have is on some sterile keeps (in sterile frontiers with nothing in them) that really aren't gonna be missed anyway
now i like daoc, and tbh i think it's done excellently, stable, nice looking, enjoyable for quite a while, but i want something a little less shallow i think, so i was just wondering if anyone else is considering going to shadowbane once it arrives.
of course, this is IF (and a bloody big IF at that) shadowbane isnt just pants it could totally flop of course, but if it actually works out to be good then who's thinking of it? some bad things i've seen though are stuff like the graphics...or lack of them, the game really doesnt "look" nice at all compared to camelot, gotta hope they change that further into development.
and no this isn't a "daoc is shit, i think your all full of crap for playing it" karam type post, just a genuine interest about who i may see in other games after the next set of them come around
answers on a postcard, and include some nice happy little piccies with 'em please, and if you say some REALLY good things about shadowbane you might just win a prize wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!11 (and yes i do think that little marketing scheme is worthy of utter comtempt).
oh and one other thing, if you dont like daoc anymore, bored, sick of leveling etc... and are planning on leaving but dont like shadowbane then what are you thinking of going too? allways interested in whether there's anything better so feel free to add those comments too
