I played Vanguard on release also, on 'Tichondrius' was it? The FFA PvP server they had going. It was fun for quite a while, but the game felt somewhat clunky, mechanics felt like they had a delayed response - it was especially noticeable in a PvP environment where you need to have good reflexes.
The open world was vast, but it also had places which were just devoid of any life whatsoever. It was quite heavy on the graphics too, even the best PCs would still struggle trying to run this game on full settings.
The gameplay was definitely unique, but not really balanced for PvP, Sorcerors were so damn overpowered with their instant pbaoes that could kill in two shots. I played the "enchanter" class and a friend played the "necro", think we made it into low 40s before stopping.
It's an interesting project you've got going, I'm looking forward to seeing it progress!
