I completely agree with everything written by Graff. Any apologist spewing sunshine and bunnies is LYING. I have played the game since Day 3 of Retail. It started off OK, but has been an exercise in escalating disaster ever since then. Yes, you read that right: ShadowBane is getting WORSE--much worse--as time goes on. I usually play on the Deception server, on which I usually expect a 45% probability of even logging in. It gets especially bad on weekends--like 2 weeks ago when Ubi sponsored a weekend Special Event + a free weekend day to make amends for previous downtime, but nobody could log in all weekend. Even during offpeak hours with low server population, the game is plagued by severe lag and rubber-banding.
To answer the obvious question, "Then why do you continue to play?", I will say that this is my first MMORPG, so I'm trying to give it a fair shake. I'm personally hoping that my increasingly shrill online profanity will lead the CSRs to ban me, hence completely removing the option to play or not.
