Off Topic - A ShadowBane Guild
I noticed alot of you guys are going to ShadowBane as I will probably too. I have the game preordered and if it is better then EQ, I might be saying by to EQ. I am not in Beta as many of you are but I have heard alot about the game and was wondering how many of you would be interested in starting a guild with me when the game starts? I know guild will be incredibly important and starting one with some people I kinda know would be a good idea. Anyway if anyone is interested PM sometime and I might try to set up a board so we can start talking about it.
I just got it
I just got into shadowbane today, and it's really pretty cool. Complicated as hell, but it's cool.
I started a half-giant fighter at first, and that stunk. I just sorta gave him runes that seemed like a good idea...whatever. Anyway, I deleted him.
So I just started an elven rogue scout, because I read that they're (currently) about the only class that can take out a mage assasin, and I'm not the biggest fan of casting. Anyway, she RULES. I leveled to level 3 in about 20 mins, and don't forget that I have no idea what I'm doing. She never got low on health or anything. I only stopped playing b/c I needed to restart after I upped my resolution.
Some things are a pain...like the windows aren't as easily resizeable as the newUI is in EQ, and it makes it hard to see what people are saying. You automatically start in a class guild, groups can hold like 10 or 12 people...and it's sort of chaotic. Anyway, it's a good time. If anyone wants me to bother, I'll post what I can find.

P.S. on an exploit level, I'm thinking there are most likely tons of ways to hack on this game. Primarily getting the skills associated with runes, as they are not class/race specific in most cases, shouldn't be too hard. Speed should be easily obtainable, as should a showEQ/MQ equivelent, as you're always presented with a zone map as you play...although it isn't updated until you get close to something.
I haven't messed much with gold, and it doesn't tell you when it's saving, so I don't know about duping and etc. An auto-hunter would be pretty easy I think as well, especially for the lower levels.
