VGOEmulator update

[xinux]

Just thought i would drop a update with a few video's on our progress. Keep in mind tho our main priority right now is get as much data collected as we can before they shut down. So we are always looking for collectors even if it's just to log in once so we can grab ability/spell info from you especially if you have a high level character of any class at this point.

On to the video's in order of when i recorded them.

This is just after we got into the world.

This is hard coded loading of spawns.

This is loading spawns from our DB.

This is being able to see other players ingame. (still a little buggy)

Was this game actually any good at the beginning before it got patches that ruined it I presume? My computer back then was not good enough to run this game...

Vanguard more than anything was ruined by its high requirements for the day as well as an extremely crappy launch.

Also true of EQ2 and Age of Conan (among others).

Would be interested to try it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't know how to help, but i've always wanted to get into this game. If you need a hand let me know when I can do. Keep at it! from my understanding this game is the closest well probably ever get to a classic eq.

Phenomenal. But the launch was inversely bad. I won't say it was better than classic or whatever, but it was the best EQ-style MMO ever. That means it was leaps and bounds beyond EQ2. Imagine it as another planet in Norrath's universe(not the moon) with more races and some different classes.
Hella cool. Diplomacy! Group harvesting/crafting! XP for both! No instancing, either!
I'll post some screenshots when I'm not on mobile.
Edit: Can only find one at the moment.

This was my disciple; they were hybrid monk healers. They healed by punching enemies, then after a few combo points they could throw a heal on themselves or a friendly target.
Ignore the fact that I'm fighting a mouse; this was during beta, and that was supposed to be a Troll, but was a graphical bug.

But representation was something I loved about this game; it had black, asian, and white humans. It had cat people, wolf people, and fox people. Then there were half-giants instead of barbarians I think.
Unfortunately, there were still gnomes among the short races. Their town was cool though.

and good work. keep it going.
