Gameplay features many aspects typical of computer role-playing games, such as experience points, character classes, and fantasy races. The regular game took place in a dark fantasy world called Aerynth (the world will sometimes depend on the servers, many of which have unique world maps). On March 25, 2008, the 5th anniversary of the game's launch, two servers were brought online followed by a third due to overpopulation. All player characters and cities were deleted in this reboot. On March 19, 2008, all servers were closed to prepare for the 'Shadowbane Reboot,' a relaunching of the game to capitalize on stability and performance gains hindered by previously existing data. A system of short ads was introduced on Mato fund operating costs, which are displayed when the game is opened or closed and when a character dies (with at least 10 minutes between death ads).

First, the majority of the game world allowed for open Player-vs-Player combat, making it an early pioneer title in the PvP MMO genre.
