Wow major hacking in Shadow bane that was awesome :eek:

.....there were hundreds of tombstones. New players were being beaten and tortured. Newbie blood was flowing like a river. I knew it wasn't real, but it was oddly terrifying....

....The population of an entire Shadowbane town was forcibly moved to the bottom of the sea, where they drowned. City guards turned feral and attacked town residents. Mobs of never-before-seen superpowerful creatures, seemingly spontaneously spawned from the ether, began to prowl the streets unchecked, killing characters in the most painful way possible....

Experienced players looked on in horror as new players were slowly and gleefully dismembered by ax-wielding ogres. Others just laughed and looted the characters' bodies after the ogres were done

That is AWESOME! I would love to see chaos once in a while to reset the thinking in MMOG. Having such "catastrophic" events certainly keeps the game from getting stale and raising the significance of the player's investments in their alter egos.

The last time I heard of something of this magnituded was the ending of the beta for Ultima Online with the attack of the undead on the beta testers.

That game looks rather cool, think I may invest in it. I've been looking for a nice time consuming game:D
