Hmm, I remember people liking Bards plenty? They got movement speed, group healing, and corpse locating all at low level, and attack speed boost at fairly low level, all things that were greatly appreciated.
Although to be fair about Shadowknights, they were pretty much all concentrated in East Antonica, so people who started the game in that area probably saw more of them than I did (I played Barbarian Shaman and Gnome Magician). Even at higher levels though, I truly remember them being the least played class. I have hardly any memorable experiences of grouping with or playing against a Shadowknight back then. They were just there, the small amount of times I encountered them.
