The Shadowbane beta test was a very strange affair indeed. The graphics were so bad people were laughing openly, yet there was a group of people who insisted that Shadowbane would be released with a brand new graphics engine when it went live, and all would be well.

Shadowbane On Steam
However, Shadowbane stands out from its competitors in one very significant way. The entire game is based around player versus player combat (PvP). 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. 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.
Harsh? Well yes, and no. It lends the game an element of real risk that you won't have experienced in similar games. You will feel genuinely scared when attacked by player killers or enemy guilds because you can, and will, lose everything.
This kind of environment is not everyone's cup of tea. but if you want real thrills and spills, PvP is the only way to go.

So where are the trade skills and quests, both considered essential for a successful online RPG? They're not there, that's where. Outside of guild warfare there is nothing to do.

But ultimately the appeal (or lack thereof) of PvP combat will determine whether or not the game is a success.Shadowbane has yet to receive a UK release date, so for now you'll have to track down an imported US copy, but look out for updates as it develops.
