Quick 'n dirty Shadowbane…
I love it. Its the perfect balance between an Ultima Online type MMORPG and a pvp MMORPG like Dark Ages of Camelot. Leveling is very easy, and not the main focus of the game (like say, Everquest). The professions are balanced, every class having both a Pvp (Player vs Player) and Pve (Player vs Enviroment) role. You can be a healer, Magic User, Summoner, Thief, Crusader, Scout, and many more.
Character customization is key. Your character (unlike Everquest, UO, or Daoc), is completely unique. You choose a race, traits, a class (Mage Rogue Healer Fighter), then at level 10, you choose a profession (13 different ones), then at 20 and above, you can choose three disciplines (ex Archer, Animator, Gladiator). During the process, you get points every level to add on to skills and stat points.
If your going to play this game, I suggest you have a Geforce 440 or above (60$ Video card, very cheap very nice) videa card. A broadband modem can’t hurt either, but the game is playable without one.
Bottom line, in my opinion its the best MMORPG to date. The pvp combat is fun, varied, and creates an intense political system between guilds. Its a game for a thinker, and not just a glorified chat room like Everquest. I’d highly suggest picking it up.
