Talk:Shadowbane

message: Shadowbane was pay by subscription at the time of it's release in March 2003. It was made free 4 years after the first release in 2003. The game was not sustainable. Those players who were not avid fans didn't want the work involved (sometimes over 6 months) to build a town which could be gone with one siege. The Siege warfare was always a sticking point. That having been said, it was the best game for Player vs Player, and Group(small) vs Group (small). Also, it's character building system has always been second to none.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.69.124.152 (talk) 04:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to say, the game is one of the better mmo's I have played. It is unfortunate that he technology is as old as it is, however the game itself is increadibly fun if you play it for a while. I will admit that it takes a while to get used to, but once you rework the interface (the defualt version is rather clunky, but it can be customized more then any game I have ever played) it is great. It has kept my interest longer then any of the other MMO's, and i have played alot of them. If you want to try it, do it, it is worth a try. Aerken
Well I did - and I found it useful. Still, maybe some more critical review would be nice.

text: Located a map that might be usable for the vorringa map, unable to locate copyright holder though. Vorringa Map, If unable to be used, would use of a screenshot  for the ingame map be an infringement? --Nyimen 12:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a suitable map located on another wiki specifical created for the game called Morloch's wiki. The picture of the map is quite large and appears to be adirect copy from ingame by a player him or herself, here is the link to the picture for reference, I shall place it and a descripition on the page.--Nyimen 13:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Due to the difficulty with finding enough information to truely validate the Vorringa map I have made a screenshot of the map, uploaded it via the wikipedia uploader and used this on the page, this does not infringe copy rights as I have made the screenshot myself.--Nyimen 13:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm rather confused by the  site. Is there an expansion pack or some other game (is this basically Shadowbane 2 or something?) which is not free? Or is this site just incredibly outdated? Or what? I suggest a clarification would be added to the article Nil Einne 16:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it's Shadowbane's site that is outdated, not so much this article.  I do not know about fileplanet's policies or anything, so I can't begin to tell you whether or not international players can play this game or not.  Sorry.  Perhaps you could ask on a forum or fansite?  FrozenPurpleCube 16:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The fileplanet file is heavily bugged, and the "new" official site has a link to an improved free download of the latest install version, available to anyone with an internet connection. Also, the game supports Asian language characters, so I assume that the game is available regardless of your country of origin. The gist of the EULA is that "hate comments" are not allowed (for political correctness), you cannot sell copies of the game for profit (as its free), and some other legal stuff. --Zenoseiya 15:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Last I heard there were supposedly two new european servers that came online, I dont exactly know when but there is a link on the UK version of the games site that names one of them.--Nyimen 09:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't think this problem is isolated to Shadowbane. Anyway, why would Pacific Rim players be a minority on a game? --206.126.170.20 (talk) 02:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It is free, only Ubisoft no longer officially supports the game and hasn't updated the official site.  http://chronicle.ubi.com/ is up to date, however. (Satertek (talk) 04:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article lacks reference material.  Does anyone know the where-abouts of some source material that we could reference?  I know there's some reviews out there somewhere. Blackfeathor (talk) 03:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't ask if someone could review Shadowbane.  Rather I was inquiring if anyone knew of any source materials (a review in a publication being just one example, a guidebook perhaps another) that could be used as references for this article.  On Wikipedia, they prefer that articles are referenced to indicate notability (WP:NOTE) and that there has been no original research (WP:NOR). Blackfeathor (talk) 05:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contested deletion 

message: Uh, the nonsense about "Changyou" purchasing the rights/source code to Shadowbane is just that: nonsense. Despite popular belief, a Chinese (yes, Chinese, NOT American) company currently holds the rights to Shadowbane and the underlining game engine. This is not new, this has been the case for many many years. 
You can see such here: http://trademarks.justia.com/766/11/shadowbane-throne-of-oblivion-76611232.html
And you can see that Changyou has been associated with the company holding the rights (Beijing AmazGame Age Internet Technology Co., Ltd) again, for years, here: http://ir.changyou.com/Prospectus.pdf (page 4).
Lastly, if you Google or follow any of the links to the "recent purchase" - it's a bunch of sites (that I don't think anyone would consider reliable sources) all sourcing from the same article (which again, isn't a reliable source).
I don't have the energy or desire to fix this, but figured it should be pointed out. The bottom line is that no, "Changyou" did not recently purchase the source code to Shadowbane, and no, they haven't stated that they're going to release a new version of it with anime characters.
