no way man. shadowbane is only slow paced because youve probably never even been in a bane.... i think that shadowbane is out of date in graphics wise but the game is overall very fun. Its very hard to successfully work with your guild and win. Noobs usually look at it and think eww it must suck because its not like that carebear game W.O.W. But those that actually play it will be in for a surprise
