Vanguard is a great game and I'm glad it is going to finally get some content developed for it. If I didn't have Project 1999 I would most likely be there playing that game.

Soo how good is vanguard? I heard it sucked at first but when it finally got decent the player base was gone.

Will this bring back a decent population? Is vanguard worth a try? Im bored of swtor and eq atm, need something new.

I couldn't believe how bad vanguard was. This after buying the collector's edition and frothing in anticipation for what must have been years.

In early beta, if you set the graphics to minimum on my computer, youd just see a floating head on all the characters.

What up Vanguard.

Too bad the game was horribad and we sat all level 50 for a few months or more before APW opened.

So wasn't Vanguard McQuaid's brainchild after he left EQ? Sorry, I'm really not that informed.

How good is Vanguard? Is it very similar to EQ? I remember reading someone explaining on these forums that it was released too early and the playerbase burned through the content in a week, so it got boring fast, but other than that it was a great start to a game...

It should have been eq 2, not that pile of garbage they have now.

EQ2 endgame and pvp was damn awesome from DoF until sentinels fate.

WoW fags complained that it took "too long" to level. They reduced XP required by a lot, nerfed most mobs, and made it generally more WoW-like. People burned through to level cap. Fags complained there was nothing to do. People left.

After they fixed most of the bugs, performance issues, and added 1 raid dungeon they essentially abandoned the game. Last time I played was right after the APW came out and there was a huge population surge but the game was just abandoned by Sony because they never had any intention of spending any real time on it after they picked it up from Brad.
