checkyotrack 4,618 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Because nothing will. Nothing will replace the years of memories with your guildies and all you have left is reminiscings of Shadowbane ownage. Nothing will replace that and you will feel empty forever. And then you'll die. Karnos, Psyentific, Abso and 10 others 13 You are so incredibly helpful, CYT. I don't know how I ever managed to do anything before we met. I was just bumbling my way through life, all lost-like. Thank you. My blessing cup runneth over.

checkyotrack 4,618 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 This is not about Crowfall being a good or bad game. This just has to to do with the unfillable void.

Osegrim 217 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nostalgia is an impossible thing. Remakes, reboots, homages, they never live up to the original first experience, it's never the same. So if you want to play Shadowbane you better just go back to... oh wait. ... It's really a sad thing, but the memories are happy right? Well...mostly.

headlight 5,744 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Oh wait? Guess you aren't aware of the emus -- or you are and you're poking fun at one/both. Anyhow, I've gotten my shadowbane fix after magicbane came up and while I've been playing shadowbane solid for a year now, that void still exists. Because it's not a void about the game, it's a void about anything in our past that we missed. Since we're gamers, we feel a gaming void as harsh as anyone else would feel a relationship void of a person we miss. We miss the epic sieges we had and some of the fights. Create Shadowbane 2 all you want, but it had its flaws and no one really misses the original shadowbane since it exists in 2 different forms on emus. You just miss the memories. But she's dead. Bury her. Dare to fall in love again, even if Crowfall isn't the one. Keep on gaming.

You cannot fully reform the myriad iterations of communities from the past. The politics, the massive server wars. You remember times lost, memories of when it was still new. You loved it despite it's warts. It was an amazing game. Was. ozzie mozzie, Kyranleskil and ellie 3 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khazzeron 20 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Shadowbane was like a crack addiction. But the crack is almost all gone, but you still got it from SBEMU, but it's like an offbrand laced crack that can kill you, but as junkies it's all we have so we do it anyways. Hopefully CF will be like our Rehab Centers. Intervention.

Life and gaming does/has. Amen. I don't want to kill more rats, fill another experience point bar or collect another meaningless badge. I want to play a GAME against PLAYERS, where my actions, my decisions and my SKILL will determine if I win or lose. Allies. Enemies. Alliances. Betrayal. risk. Conquest. To compete with THOUSANDS of other players for a chance to claim the THRONE. Even if i lose, the experience won't feel hollow. I don't want another worthless trophy.

ozzie mozzie 1,929 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I hear you CYT. A great game or a great community or both. Sometimes it's hard to let go, even knowing that things have changed it far from where it should be. It's time to close that chapter rather than trying to salvage. If you can let the nostalgia go it will free you to be more open to new experiences. Fresh eyes will allow you to appreciate things at a different level once more. Keep the great memories for sure, but don't look back, just move forward to the new and unexplored. Crowfall will not fill that void, no. Crowfall will engage us only if you can accept it as being fresh, new and different. We have a whacky community here. I've never seen a gathering from such a wide variety of gamers/communities, it's such a mishmash! The waiting to get our pixels into the game will be hard, but once we do, I'm positive the hype train will run wild and we will all settle into being "citizens of the Crowfall community".

Ayakii 27 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Remakes, reboots, homages, they never live up to the original first experience, it's never the same. Absolutely agreed... I never played Shadowbane or SWG, but I have experienced an MMO shutdown, and regardless of the game, when all that's left are memories, nothing can fill the void. ozzie mozzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
