Magicbane (often abbreviated "MB") is a splinter project of Shadowbane Emulator that began in March 2014 by Papah and Quietus (then known by the pseudonyms Olga and Artyom) with additional help and financial support from Xemise, Bardiel, Holam, and Chet (whom also used pseudonyms).

Design Philosophy

Magicbane strives to recreate Shadowbane as it existed when the commercially-hosted servers closed in May 2009, at Patch 24.3. Many of the Magicbane community describe any changes to the game's balance and systems as the destruction of the nostalgia that an emulator should invoke.

Project History

Mbpost.PNG
The creators of Magicbane were once developers of the Shadowbane Emulator project that split away due to a disagreement in design philosophy. Early on, they hid their true identities and pretended to be Chechnyan fans with no connections or even awareness of the other project.

When their server was opened to the public, it was discovered that there were undeniable, unique similarities to the same server operated by Shadowbane Emulator, which made it clear that the source code used by Magicbane was an unauthorized Shadowbane Emulator's.

Magicbane developers then created intentional "bugs" in the source code which were swiftly "fixed" to attempt to hide their theft and to inspire confidence in their ability to quickly and easily resolve bug reports.
