    Oh, I see.  This is all about you??  That explains why you continue to troll these boards.

    Okay.. well just to throw out a positve comment among all of this hogwash (we get it, you didnt like it then you dont like it now, go away)

    I'm so happy they finally accounced the plan. I'll be reactivating my sub next weekand when I get paid. Hopefully my rogue is still there as  it looks like I wont have to completely reroll off of Targonor. This is a good thing people! Or have all the supporters just not seen this yet? I know you're out there.

    To the rest: Why flame this thread? You guys already made a bajillion other ones saying how the game is dead. Guess what? Everyone knows there is a low population. Omg right? You must not have known I knew that. Now im starting to be negative... leave it to a troll to bring the troll out in me. Hopefully the "game is dead" threads stop or at least slow down after this. We dont care. We are going to play because WE think its fun. For anyone else who is as excited about this merger as I am i reccomend you stop by Silky Venom if you don't already visit there. Far more support there for this "niche game".

    Go server mergers!

    ps: some of you sound surprised. really? Several of you put this game down constantly and say how the servers are all dead etc etc. So why is a drastic server merge a surprise when the population is drastically low? hmm...

    pss: Go server mergers!

    I like the whole merger plan. Makes sense to me.

    I usually group in guild only but we have a tiny guild. This will provide more viable alternatives and should help revive this game.

    It is a very good game despite the bugs and despite noise from the wowsers who just love to mouth off about any other game, oh yeah and the folks who left cause the game didn't reach the levels of their private fantacies, who just have to spend their free time bitching and moaning.

    Call me a vanboi if ya like I DON'T CARE! This game has a future and it's lookin brighter every day.

    THe right moves are being made to steer this ship outta the crapper and into the bright light of the gaming world.

    Actually hardly any Vanguard players post here.  Most of the people that post there dont even play Vanguard.  They play the no-mmo-will-ever-be-good-enough-to-survive-my-constant-trolling MMO.  Most of us real Vanguard players have moved on to the official boards, b/c there is no point posting here on a board where the only people you discuss the game with only hate it. 



    What a pathetic community this has become.

    "Brighter every day".  Comedy.



    Didn't we read these kind of statements 1, 2, 3 months into release, as the population sank like a stone?  "OMG the population is growing!  I see new people every day!  The cities are packed with players!"

    That bright light you see is not the end of the tunnel.  It is like the bright light people see when death is upon them.  VG is going nowhere.  The situation could not be any worst.  VG is now 2nd string to Planetside and The Matrix Online.  There is no return from that.

     

    By the way I don't WoW people care much about VG.  I am not sure they even know it it live.  VG is a pimple on WoW's backside.

    Think about it this way. The Population issues will be no more? That's a good way to look at it.

    Come on, my post was just simple humor, it was a posting of one of those crazy guys with the "The end is near" signs, in preparation for all the posts to come in this thread, and i was right lol. Still no need to remove it...dam, get some humor in your life.

     There are some of us who really do like this game.  Sure may be a small number of us.  But still.  Why not troll some were else?  Thanks for the update Kenze. 

  • SarykSaryk Member UncommonPosts: 476
    Saying WOW has 8 million customers, makes WOW a better game. Is like saying Online Porn is better than anything on the internet. And yes they have more customers than all the games put together.


    Have any one of you trolls even looked at what the max population is on a server? You do know that AO only has 2 worlds. So your argument is for nothing.


    And when you launch a game, you have no idea how many people are going to join on. Would you as a business man have too many or not enough?
  • VaedurVaedur Member Posts: 430
    I'm getting a new pc tonight, and been on the fence about vanguard.  Hearing they are merging servers makes me very happy, and more interested to try out the game.



    Vanguards  system spec's are starting to get more and more current, and as people can run it, more will play, SoE will fix the bugs to the best of their ability but might fail (MXO anyone?)  but I won't be like everyone else and knock a game i haven't tried..



    .. in a month i'll let you all know what i think of vanguard :P

    Your sad attempt at an analogy makes no sense.  Understand what a game does.  It entertains.  If a game is fun, people will play.  If its REALLY fun, more and more people will play.  If a game sucks or fails to entertain, it will tank and fail.  VG failed because to the majority of people who tried it, it was not entertaining (bugs, CTD, unfinished, etc).



    Probably the worst thing about it was deep down, Brad and Sigil knew the game would fail.  They knew they were shoving an unfinished mess out the door, and they did it anyhow.
  • lacklusterlackluster Member Posts: 20
    I think that this is much needed and about time! I think people fail to realize the size of the world, Sigil included, along with taking into account the highest number of players online at any given time and a merge into 4 servers will make some nicely populated servers. I also found it refreshing that Sony would give the RP players a bit of a vote.

    That has got to be the biggest pile of horse %^&* I have ever heard. Your telling me that since your C64 can't run Vanguard or runs it badly, its a bad game?

    Oh and my analogy was right on the spot. Just because alot of people do it, doesn't make it good,fun,etc. And going by your post, you don't know nothing about Vanguard. I do mean nothing what so ever.  Bye Troll

    Don't change the subject. Gkarm was on the money with his post when he talked about a game being fun or not.

    No your analogy is flawed and stupid. Comparing a WoW to porn is failed because you are trying to mis-characterize the nature of WoW. Why not compare WoW to child molestation while your at it then? Grasp at straws more and maybe you'll get enough to make a valid argument.

    Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.

    Game(s) I Am Currently Playing:

    GW2 (+LoL and BF3)

    What a pathetic community this has become.



    You want to talk about a pathetic community? Long before I posted here, I was part of the official pre-release forums for Vanguard. Day after day after day, people talked about how l33t they were, and how everyone else was a "kiddie" who wanted "everything handed to them" and a "dumbed down game." Every poster was a big deal; everyone else was a little deal. That's the Vanguard community, and that's a big part of why your game crashed and burned and has become a laughingstock in the mmo market.

    So if you and the handful of other people who play this game want to take refuge on the SOE boards and comb each other's hair and pretend all is well and that Vanguard has a future, go right ahead.  Meanwhile, on this and every other public forum people know what's going on, and many of us who saw this coming more than a year in advance can't help but relish watching the buckets of cold water being splashed in the faces of the so-called "elite" in their "next generation" version of narcissism online.

    EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

    Like i said, troll....................
  • Not quite sure what I prefer happens to the rp server, I really want to have one, but if theres no merge the server might be to empty. Altough there might come more players on it because of the other merges, but im coming back again after the merges, should be a blast :)

    i didn't read this whole post, maybe i should have... seems to me (the vanbois i am) this is a necessary first step....



    1) fix

    2) consolidate

    3) fix

    4) plan for growth

    5) fix

    6) rebrand or relaunch or whatever they intend to do with it to give a fresh start.

    7) expand.



    8) see what happens.

    "We aren't going to ... Period. End of statement."

    ya. ok. whatever.

    but what do i know, i'm only a vanbois i'm told.
