Shadowbane Reforged takes the original sandbox PvP MMO and rebuilds it better. Players still raise the cities, draw the borders, and tear them down again. Now it runs on a stronger foundation, with the fixes and improvements the original never got.
The game
In Shadowbane, nothing on the map is permanent. Guilds stake a Tree of Life, raise walls and spires around it, and grow a city that other players can live in, trade from, and fight for. Hold it, and you rule. Lose it, and it burns.
Shadowbane Reforged is an emulator that takes the game from its original state and reforges it: long-standing bugs fixed, balance reworked, and a brand-new game client in development. The same world, made better.

Plant a Tree of Life and build a city wall by wall. Set the taxes, the rules, and who gets through the gate.
Bane a rival's tree, set the date, and bring everything you have. Cities really fall.
Outside your walls, anyone can be a target. Every road is a risk and every trip home is a story.
Combine race, base class, promotion and disciplines into builds no one else in the world is running.
Swear fealty, form alliances, betray them. Politics matter as much as gear.
Vendors, crafters and warehouses run by players. Control the market and you fund the war.
In development
We're building a brand-new client for Reforged from the ground up, on the same server you play on today. Better visuals and smoother controls, with the world kept exactly as it was.
Latest
The new client now logs in, lists your characters, and loads you into the world. Here's what's next.
