I think I'm getting better.  For those still interested in SB.

"Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us." -SC

While I am interested in seeing what this actually turns out to mean, the whole soap opera of "SB has gone free. come play!" followed by "Ubi is closing wolfpack on may 15th" and of couse "what does this have to do with Shadowbane" has been a exercise is how not to conduct public relations.

Still, it was nice to play recently for a while with a template I had never used.  Too bad the management from Ubi down apparently has no clue what they are doing.  At least they are in good company in this industry...

My only thoughts for a new iteration of Shadowbane is that if it doesn't start with a completely new engine, including graphics and netcode, there's no reason to bother.

This is actually very good news for all SB players. Big problem is that for SB to exist some core issues have to be solved in a fairly radical ways. I don't think new engine is an option but some radical changes are in order.
Eternity is a very long time, especially towards the end.
