Yeh, Shadowbane is pretty weird sometimes. Some guilds are active, some not. Some will be very active for awhile and then just give it up, sell their city to someone else and disappear. Or join a new guild. Some people even PVP within their own guild. Of course, that doesn't last long.
Shadowbane does have large posted Bane battles .. trebuckets and stuff. But the guilds who receive the bane don't usually recruit once the bane starts. Blood Clan is a good guild to join in Shadowbane because they are large and so get baned alot. Talk to Harl Krave in Blood Clan and ask to join. It's a good way to level up fast. Although their equipment offers aren't that great since they are so big.
First character to roll is a Minotaur axe-weilder Barbarian - 2 handed axe - you'll be pretty well accepted as a fighter. Ask alot about your class. Be a nube. Let people in your new guild help you. If your interested Cain can pm you a Template for making a good starter character.
My hubby Cain asks what server are you on? He could show you some things to do past level 10 if you are on any of the servers he plays. Mourning & Vindication are the ones he plays. He says you can hang with him on Vindication anytime if you are Templar, Priest, Scout, Confessor. On Mourning he has a 73 Nephlum Warlock "Silmane" who can power level you. If your computer can handle it you should run 2 accounts & tab between them with one your main character & the other a buffing/healing type char for your main. ================
I remember that Anarchy Online was having huge Alien Invasions which were certainly GIGANTIC battles to try to save whatever city was being attacked. They run a free year trial account. But I'm not sure but I think you have to be pretty high level to cause any damage to those aliens.
