Shadowbane... Horizons...
Shadowbane definitely has the perfect guild system. No faction standing between races and stuff just guild vs guild, city vs city. There's no evil because you choose an evil race, there's only evil if you PK or roleplay an evil char/guild.
You don't have to join a PC runned guild, there are also NPC runned guilds.
You have special races ala Horizons which will become available once you have enough /played time.
Shadowbane has the best looking screenshots without doubt. *drools over the mino pics*
Horizons has a cool faction standing system. The ability to become KoS to a person, family or KoS to the total race and vice versa, perhaps you're the first of your race to be allowed.
It doesn't look like you'll be able to have a guild with your friends unless they choose the same race or at least not a race who's in war with yours. Thats the only thing that worries me.
Race wars are server side generated. For example, this month humans are in war with dwarves, next month they're in peace.
There are special races like Demons, Dragons, Angels, Devils and Vampires which will only become available when you get lucky. At this point with char generation you have 1 slot for 1 special race, you'll have to throw a dice when you're unlucky (a race you don't like) you can delete it but have to wait a week for another try.
Anyways, both games look to become hella cool. Both games still have to go Beta. Shadowbane is about to go beta, Horizons has another few months to go before beta.
