    Definitely.





    The amount of bad information about Vanguard on this web page is endless.  The release of Vanguard was terrible.  However, the game has recovered from it and continues to recover.  It is a great game, imho.  Very fun.  A lot to do.  I think if SOE continues to work as aggressively as they are, it can become the best MMO in history.  The world is so enormous, so much lore, such diversity and things that people could get very creative with it.

    Oh darn... that means that i have to try it out..... Which again means more expenses.... Well....  thanks!



    One question though: Compared to Lotr Online, is it as deep (or deeper) when it comes to questing, and how's the solo questing in the game (Since i dont know anyone playing it)?

    The amount of solo Quests in Vanguard is abundant.  It is hard to conceive of how massive this world is.  You can find so many different camps, dungeons, and areas to solo and small group in.  The best solo classes are the Necro, Pscionist, Druid, and Shaman (bear).  The best tank solo is the Dread Knight.  For melee, for solo, I suggest Ranger. 



    It is a very fun and very complex game.  I think EQ 2 is way deeper than LotR, but I think Vanguard has more depth than eq 2.





    I think you will enjoy yourself.  I am talking on AIM with a buddy now, and he is returning to Vanguard tomorrow.  I think you will start seeing a lot of resubbs, those who canceled due to bad release, in the upcoming months.

    I play EVE online because to me it is as close to the perfect MMORPG as it gets, not because of the sci-fi setting but because of the sandbox model with little to no rules where the player is in control and can be held accountable for his actions. It's where the smart win over the ignorant (I'm an avid fan of Darwinism).

    I Play CoH/CoX on the side just for fun and instant gratification, it's a funky game with cool stuff (you can FLY and superjump!!!oneoneeleven). They never set out to be difficult or complex so you can't fault them for not being as such. It's just a very innovative little gem, if a bit repetitive. But that's why I play it on the side.

    I must admit that on release I stayed away from Vangaurd because of it's bad launch but the fact that so many people are crywing/whining/shouting about how bad it is obvious that must be very good! (people like things easy, without a challenge and without needing effort, I think otherwise).

    So I might just give it a go.

    EVE Online - for the ability to do anything  i want, lack of classes, real time skill training, real market, and the PvP.
