But from then on you're packed off into the big bad world, and are fair game for higher levels to pick off and rob blind. You can level up to level 20 in a safe environment and hone your skills (maximum level is 70) without risk of attack from vastly superior players.
The entire game is based around player versus player combat (PvP). However, Shadowbane stands out from its competitors in one very significant way. Kill monsters, find and loot gold, level up, get new spells and skills. In a nutshell, Shadowbane is yet another fantasy-based online RPG. The rest of you, stick around, we're here to tell you all about the gameplay. So, any graphics whores out there can look away now. Nevertheless, compared to Asheron's Call 2 or Anarchy Online, it sits firmly at the bottom of the looks tree. It was never going to happen, and it has not happened, though the game is looking a lot better than it did in beta.
