Dude Vanilla DAoC RvR was SO FUCKING epic, totally agree. Was kind of ahead of its time scale wise so the lag was just so awful if all 3 realms were in on it.

i played vanguard slightly longer than i played eq, was a great game on the pvp servers and had all the obscure overpowered items, quest items working in an unintended manner and so on that contributed to a lot of the original eq's fondness.

was basically a ten year later version of eq, the reason it failed was because they made this moron......

the lead developer and everything he did was the dumbest shit imaginable.

it failed because it's launch code base sucked a dick

-BTW vanguard was actually pretty epic... for those who didn't mind the bugs.

I disagree... I played DAoC on a shitty Dell and dial up back in vanilla and would never lag, even in giant raid raids with 100+ peeps. It was like it was coded by Jesus.

Warhammer on the other hand, I had a top of the line computer with high end cable internet and a simple 30 man keep raid was a fucking slide show. It amazed me how the same company that made DAoC made Warhammer such fucking shit. Probably the biggest MMO letdown of all time to me, considering I at least got about 3-4 months of fun out of Vanguard. Warhammer was cancelled after the first month.

3 weeks after launch all of the lag, rubber banding and crashes that are why most people that initially quit did so were fixed.

I was deeply troubled to see a mod had deleted my post. My content pays for Rogean's malt liquor through adsense clicks.

Vanguard had some really amazing things in it.

It had potential to be the new Everquest (group content the focus, dungeons how they were meant to be and such).

I wish it had done better. I remember when I was 30 something and the 40s in my guild all started quiting because of a lack of content.
