After nearly two years since the first brainstorming sessions that lead me to create a Burning Crusade Rogue website with the help of a few contributors, Silent Shadows was finally released on November 25th of 2020, with a dozen of pages only, but a lot of motivation. Until that day the website kept dragging more and more players and here we are.
Dears shades,
It’s a different kind of post today but there are days for working hard, and days for celebrating. Today I wanted to celebrate and share with you the second milestone of Silent Shadows (the first one was the release of the website itself).
A very special milestone
As you can read in the title, after a bit less than 6 months of existence during which silentshadows.net received an incredible wave of support from all around the world, we just reached
– 100K unique visitors*
– half a million page views*

This is something that I would have not really expected before the release of Burning Crusade Classic because the starting point of this adventure and project is very humble and simple: sharing what we know about Burning Crusade rogues, creating a place where players could share their passion, their content, and highlight the players who need/deserve visibility. To do so, I’ve put myself out, in order to create content for the players, and collaborated with multiple friends and followers of my own little YouTube community to start covering things that I wouldn’t cover myself.
Silent Shadows’ Patreon officially started
This being said, you have to know that Silent Shadows is the result of countless hours of work, and sometimes sacrifices to become the project you can see now. It keeps me busy 4 hours a day, to say the least, and it has easily eaten most of my weekends and vacations for a year. I am lucky to have a job that heavily helps me in the process of creating such a project, but I’d be lying if I was not considering this website as a second full-time job. But all this is worth it if the community likes it, and so far I can’t find the word to express how thankful I am towards the community’s support. Reading all your supportive feedback, every day, about this project is really something meaningful and motivating, and now that we start growing a bit, I received multiple players’ requests about the way to support the website.
In France, money has always been a taboo topic and I guess that I also feel quite uncomfortable when it comes to this subject, but I finally decided to start a Patreon for the players that would like to support Silent Shadows. You can click on the button below if you want to start tipping.
Community shoutouts
I could not finish this article without highlighting the great support we’ve received during these six first months from a lot of content creators and their respective communities. I am trying my best to keep an eye on all the content creators that talk about SIlent Shadows in their videos, but if you are not mentioned, please reach me out to be highlighted like all the other content creators.
Without your precious support and contribution, we wouldn’t get such visibility. Much love to you! 🙏
I think I’ve said it all for today, so now, let’s wish us a happy pre-patch and see you on the other side of the Dark Portal!
