I have been playing mmo games now for alittle over 11 years with eq as my 1st experience. I moved to eq2 when it 1st launched only to be disapointed and installed wow which I have been playing since release. There is a few more games that I have tried on and off only to go back to wow again. I have grown very bored of blizzards game. Dont get me wrong, they did a great job and I had fun playing the time that I have. But, I have out grown what they have to offer. I need more of a challenge.
I have been in VG beta since beta 4. I went into the beta understanding what it was supposed to be. A test. A way for me to experience a game in production and have a small impact in it's developement.
I need something new. My mind craves more with every new game that I play. I need a feeling of some respected accomplishment with the time commited. I need to be surounded by a culture forged by the players on a server.
Culture is the key to the survival of any mmo. I'll say it again. CULTURE! Culture is created by hardships of the people coming together to make a difference. WoW has failed miserably in this area. Not one server in wow has any form of a said culture. When all it takes is a few gold and some signitures to form a guild what do you get? Thats right, you get a server full of 5 man guilds. There is no diversity. There is no unity. There is only every man for himself. When an individual can solo for the best epics in a game where does the cohesion come from?
The success of blizzards product has 7-8 months left at such high subscription numbers at most. Want to know why? Well I'll tell you why. Because the REAL gamers will beat there expansion quickly and soon get bored and look for somehting else. And when the gamers go then the chinese will go which make up 4 million of the 7 million subscribers.
Vanguard beta is laggy and really taxes my system. I have to set my setting on highest performance to play and i still get glitches. But I have to be honest I knew what to expect out of a beta and the performance has gotten alot better just over the last 2 weeks.
I have had more fun in Vanguard playing just few a weeks than I have in wow playing 2 years. It is challenging and the going is slow. This game will only get better and better and better. For those of you not in beta dont download it and wait till the real release. If you enjoy a game thats not easy and will have a real culture then this game is for you.
I would rather take the time to prepare a steak than get a cheesburger from mcdonalds.
WoW=Mcdonalds
Vanguard=Food City with a wide variety of things to choose from.
Oh yeah! The reason kids love Mcdonalds so much is they get a free toy with every purchase. You kids go play Mcdonalds I will be playing with a big breasted woman and eating my steak.

Read the very first line of the Article. It was released in 1999. I'm sure there was some sort of mistake; I'm not getting into it. I'll ignore it.
The reason the community changes so much after the Beta is due to the Monthly Fee. Stupid People don't want to pay to be Stupid.

Wow, I could have sworn I was in my junior or senior year of high school when it came out. But apparently I was already in college... Which is weird, because my wife was one of the original beta testers, and she swore she was playing it in high school as well... Maybe she's got it confused with playing UO in high school... I know she was into that for a while as well... Ah, well...
Let me fix this for you. I have been playing games for 11 years with EQ being my 1st mmo experience. Do you feel better now? Do you think that the timeline effects the things said in the post? Or are you one those literal/ grammerical types who cant operate in life without perfect structure. I would bet my left nut that you didnt get past that 1st sentence because you had a primal urge to post on the mistake you found.
It's funny.
If anything you mean man boobies.
Comparing rpgs to steaks and mcdonalds. Here is a better comparison.
People eat Mcdonalds because it's easily accesible and tastes good = wow
People eat steaks because they can afford it and it tastes good = not Vanguard, it tastes like shit.
If you think Vanguard equates to Fogo de Chao or Ruth Chris just cause you have to spend 2k minimum on your PC to play it adequately you are sorely mistaken.
If wow sucks why did you play for 2 years? You are an addict, go check into rehab please. until then smoke em if you got em, mmorpg crackheads.

I almost had a certainty I would've been flamed. I'm pretty sure UO was released in 1996, so that is probably the case.
