Whatever Happenned to the Shadow Blade?

I've seen many screen shot of that sweet looking sword, but I've heard many rumors that it was taken out of the game after Beta. I've personnaly found many fellblades in the Shiverpeaks area and a couple crystaline swords which i forgot where i got them from, but I've never came across that "Shadow Blade". and I've never saw it in Lion's in the trade channel and stuff. Now what I'm really wandering is if they did took it out... WHY, its a real nice looking one. A game should be adding more nice looking weapons, not take them out.

maybe in the expansion? they will have new nice weapons...

all we can do is hope, this expansion better be great if its not i will not play any more ive stopped playing until the expansion and if its no good then i expect ill be done for good.

the Shadow blade is not something that has to do with the expention, its a
sword that was already in the game. my question is: Did they took it out
completly of the game? and if so why was it taken out?

yes they removed it from the game
