Maybe they can rescue the game for the fans and draw in new ones by going to a F2P model. it helped DDO although im not sure how much. Just a though.
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Raving Rabbid is crying his eyes out as his #1 dance Student Micheal jackson has passed away months ago and he hasnt gotten over it.)
All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care. Playing: ESO, WOT, Smite, and Marvel Heroes
I got flamed to high heaven when I spoke out about how SOE was mishandling the game as I left and warned that mos of the promised content (AA's, Stiirhad, Nexus) would probably be shelved and it seems it has.
I hate to see them do this to this game (it could have been great) but its more-or-less been mishandled so that it doesn't compete with the EQ franchise if they decide to make an EQ 3.
I wonder how many people are going to stay now that theyve basically said they are setting their speed to crawl and merging down to 1 regular and 1 EU server.
It's basicaly going the way of SWG and will stay up but unfixed for years and years until people stop paying to be in limbo...
I cancelled my pre-order because it clearly wasn't ready for release, but always hoped it would sort itself out because it had some really good concepts in the game design.
And while I've been tempted to try it again, SOE nonchalantly dropping item malls into their subscription games without warning gives me pause.
well vangaurd been in this rut for a long while now many many things have been thought of and tried some good others not so good like IOD is an excellent idea but the shock factor when u go on the live server after u subbed to the game is to much there no population at all .
think one of the thing's that hurt vanguard was not selling the new content as an expansion packs for sale. I know when they said they didnt want to ect i was like sweet deal !!, but now after the fact one has to wonder if they did do that in first place maybe that would of been a good indecator of if end game is where the money at or not , if not enough players are buying the expansion pack then why waste resources on making new content let alone for free?
best thing that can happen to vanguard is they tag a mob of all mobs in vangaurd and when u defeat the big bad mob monster you get a big splash on your screen tthat saids gratz youz beat VG u r l33tz .... then boot em to the cancel sub screen of there account, while evryone else is enjoying the vangaurd crafting n dilpo n the pug grps ect
I hate to see VG dying such a slow death, but it has lasted longer than I expected. I so wanted VG to be "the" game after EQ, but there are just so many things that went wrong with this game before it ever launched, that it just never recovered and has slowly gotten worse.
A friend and I tried the trial again not too long ago and I swear the game felt more alive and fun back in early 2006 than it does now.

As much as I hate to say it; I told you so.

Again I'm sorry to all hit hard by this news;
This is why I left a few months ago...
I tried Vanguard back in open beta.
