I friggin loved VG. The game was robbed - it should have been the greatest MMO of all time. I'm stoked that someone is trying to preserve/resurrect it.
I sincerely hope you / you all are successful. But which VG will you field? The one at release time was too buggy to play. The one about 8 months in was probably close to the best. Then Sillias came and started to wowify it. At the time I left he had just instituted changes that essentially made the game unsoloable. I hope it is not that one that you will bring into being. In reality, what VG needed more than anything was itemization. As much as I would be interested in Classic VG, I think I might be MORE interested in a VG that is more representative of what VG COULD have been. Whichever VG you bring, once again - you rock. Great work, please continue.

Sadly I was planning on playing this game when I got off deployment but the news that it is shutting down kind of put a stop to that. In the short amount of time that I am back before they shut it down I will what I can do about using the program to get some information. Are there any areas/starting zones that you would like for us to focus on?

Yes you can make a character log in and run around but that is about it at this point we are still alpha actually i would call it pre-alpha to be fair.

I really loved Vanguard. Was a shame to see Brad mismanage it into the ground before it was even released. Had a ton of really great ideas and a big world but its potential was crushed into linear progression hell after all the pre-launch and early-release mess.
APW was a blast (though ghetto-instanced). Don't think I could play it again though. | ||

I'm going to have to look into this more closely, I loved the design of vanguard and eq2. One thing I miss in p99 is playable fae. I still love p99, which is good since I assume these projects are still years away. Don't know why I never thought to look for emu projects for those. Too bad soe won't just make the server engines open source when they shut down games.
I'm a programmer, can't say I've reverse engineered a server before, but I'll register on the forums later and decide if I want to contribute some(not that I have anything against it but working all day as a programer makes going home and doing it after slightly less appealing). | ||

Picked up a new Developer Volt and we are still looking for more if anyone is interested.
Basic lua support is now in and a few commands have been added. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] and had to throw this in. ScreenShot_00141.jpg
