Vosx informuje:
On December 4, the Carnage, Death, Deception, and Dread servers will vanish from the Shadowbane universe to be made ready for the new Vorringia ice world launch currently scheduled for January. Further details concerning the re-launch of these four servers will be made in an official press release announcement from Ubisoft in early December.
The Fear world will also be taken down and immediately replaced with a new server called Cataclysm. This new server will offer an intense challenge to all Shadowbane nations, guilds, and players - a never ending world of constant battle and strife! The new Cataclysm server will use the new Dalgoth strategic map, and like the Corruption world will have its own unique ruleset.
W skrocie - z 5 serwerow robia sie 2 (w tej chwili dziala 10 ''live'' serwerow). Oczywiscie wszyscy wyruchani klienci beda mieli mozliwosc przeniesienia czesci swojego dobytku (a konkretnie noszonych itemow bez inventory) na jeden z czterech serwerow.

When Migration begins on December 4, the new Cataclysm world will also appear. This new server will operate very differently than other Shadowbane worlds as it has a revolving life cycle of three months. This means that every three months the world will destroy itself and restart anew. However, after each "Cataclysm" and re-birth, one of the Freeholds will be renamed to give tribute to the winning guild of its previous cycle. On the fragment of Cataclysm, your Guild can not only change the world, they can conquer it!
W sumie nie glupi pomysl z tym freeholdem, ale chyba (razem z azjatyckim wydawca) zgubilo im sie gdzies to MMORPGowe ''persistence''.
No wlasnie, EN-TRANZ postanowil wziasc sprawy Shadowbane w swoje rece. W Azji beda pojawialy sie inne patche, inne update'y itp. itd., bo zajmie sie tym calkiem inny dev team. Wspomnianego na poczatku dodatku tez ''u nich'' nie bedzie, ale za to niedalekiej przyszlosci subskrybenci EN-TRANZu doczekaja sie roznego rodzaju darmownych update'ow. Biorac pod uwage, ze gorzej juz byc nie moze, taki manewr moze im wyjsc tylko na dobre. Po paru miesiacach wytezonej pracy kilkuset Chinczykow $1/miesiac, Shadowbane Asia powinien doczekac sie usprawnionego engine'u i kodu sieciowego.
