Yes flying mounts work.

[Darksinga]

I had too crappy of a PC to run VG on release. I think I logged in during a beta and never logged in again due to lag.

As I missed out on this game 100%, is there an ETA of when the player base can play even in a beta/aloha format?

I also have learned some C/Perl/Java along the way but not sure what kind of work needs to be done or it may be way over my head.

[xinux]

Server is open to the public while we are working on it just don't get attached to your character cause it will be a wipe at some point.

Server back-end is C++ with scripting done in LUA.

[Saludeen]

The bad looking art, target rings, floating combat text, animations, and WoW like quests are what ruin it for me. Can't have a dumb looking character that swings all awkward. Everquest graphics might be old but at least the characters look cool. And target rings / floating combat text / quest boxes ruin the immersion and feel of the world because they're artificial and out of place. Unfortunately Pantheon devs are making the same mistake too. But I sent Brad this image to try and change their mind:

Someone on their team is infecting the game with the modern MMO disease.

[Vormotus]

Wow I loved this game back in the day!

I like everyone else here it seems, bought the Collectors Edition! And yes, I have on my car playlist the OST for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Though I am fully engaged with P99 at the moment and due to time constraints can only play one game, I will definitely look this up in the future!

Wonder if it can run under Linux?

To all the people working on it a big hug and thanks!

And yes, it was the true successor to EQ1 ...

Necromancers there had so much awesome potential, specially with the undead golem like pets that you could further tweak with enhancements and the Necro spec tree focusing on Wratih Mode or Lich Mode.

Game was amazingly advanced and if it could have been given more time, resources it would have easily surpassed WoW.

All the classes had these incredibly original and awesome powers, I remember bards there were very fun due to the way you constructed songs plus the diplomacy game.

Amazing game, truly amazing game and a shame it went down that way.

I always remember it fondly

To be fair the game was horribly optimized and ran like shit either way. Even before it died my computer which I built in 2012 would stutter and hiccup during gameplay. One of the bigger problems of Vanguard's internal programming was that it didn't take advantage of things like Unreal's script management tools so everything was a giant spaghetti coded mess. Doesn't help that much of the game was shat out within a year and rushed to oblivion. I remember how the month of open beta went through multiple changes from testing flying mounts to revamping the GUI for diplomacy multiple times. God damn what a disaster launch was...and the game in general.

[AzzarTheGod]

i had a decent rig n went beasta on it. it had some crashes n optimization trouble as well as teh group bug.

the group bug, not the graphics performance, was the biggest problem.


u'd get dropped off a grp np 100 times a session n have to regroup. took a long time to get fixed at launch. after that we kakked nauts.
