Wolfpack and publisher Ubi Soft have released a large new patch to their Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) Shadowbane. The update, which brings the game to version 1.0.10.12 features many bug fixes, both major and less significant, game balancing changes, along with new features.

Of the new features, the most important to regular players is the addition of new chat filters, which are able to be able to screen the amount of text "talking" that flies by on the screen based on a number of variables. For info on the chat system, check out their chat filter tutorial, also linked-to below.

Here are a few other changes in the update:

- Added Nation Channel, which nation leaders can use to communicate to their followers, and Commander Channel, which is used by guild leaders only.
- You can now toggle whether or not you want sound to center around your character (the old way) or your camera (the new way). This can be found in Options.
- City Asset Management now offers a reserve function that can be set by anyone who can manage the asset, establishing a cut off value for gold in the strongbox below which hirelings will refuse to purchase items (for fear of exhausting the reserve)
- Amazons have taken over the Bandit Wetlands on the Mainland! Seek out the Palomi Wetlands for all sorts of new High-Level Monsters, Including many brand new Foes!
