Vanguard is Dead

infra172infra172 Member UncommonPosts: 145
in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
SOE is a death sentence to any online game.  Everybody remembers how they f***ed up Everquest, and produced the massively multiplayer abominations Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, and Everquest II.  Even if Vanguard is an awesome game, it has ZERO CHANCE of building a community now.

Vanguard is dead.  End of story.

    Vanguard may or may not be good but their association with SOE is the kiss of death in my book.

    Do not know about dead, but they lost about 50% of their future costumers in one quick sweep. Mythic and Funcom are rubbing their hands in delight.

    Is it just me who is standing back and laughing my ass off at all the hyperbole (errrr, dictionary.com, btw) and hysteria?

    Frankly, this is one of funniest non-events I have ever witnessed.

    Someone who gets it...nope, definitely not just you. People are having nervous breakdowns over this (see previous posts.) "SOE Is The DOOOOOM Of Cyberspace" posts will always be around though.

    LOL

    I finally agree with you angerr on this.

    However, it is BIG NEWS in the MMO world no matter what website forum you visit.

    I'm not very happy about the inclusion of SOE, that is for sure.  This move was certainly a risky one.  I am interested to see how it pans out in the end for Vanguard subscriptions.

    Absolutely no way this game is dead.  I just see more hype now that they did this.  More posts...the Vanguard website is getting so much traffic that you'll get time outs trying to reach the forum.  Granted, they should have a bigger server running it, but the fact is, their publicity has increased.

    Good, more room on the servers for me.

    Not 100% dead, but I agree SOE has thusfar destroyed everything they've touched and I doubt Vanguard will be any different

    Vanguard will be different because SOE will not touch the game itself. So if the game bombs will be Sigil's fault and not SOE's.

    yup. In any case im changing vanguard from a "must buy"...to a" wait and see" stance..with the SOE being onboard.

    No matter what people say the people who arent posting on the forums should be factorerd in....... I have 5 friends who have nothing to do with any forums and they all said the exact same thing.  No matter how good the game is there is no talking them into playing now-- one guy would rather play DOTA then pick up anything remotely close to being associated w/ an SOE product.

    tis a dam shame, this was gonna be one that went down in the books, but now we will never be able to trust anything that comes from it because SOE is involved.

  • Benz00Benz00 Member Posts: 122
    I start to think that SOE is part of everygame ever. SOE made WoW so much money i think it had to be planned.
  • dragonacedragonace Member UncommonPosts: 1,185

    Yikes! So much hate. I'm wondering what will happen when SOE partners with some other big-name titles?

    SOE hasn't exactly made it a secret that they want to build up their stable of Station-Pass Access offerings. Don't be surprised if this is just the first in a volley of additions.

    It'll be interesting to see the tune when the additional titles get added. Pick your next "darling" carefully, SOE is still looking for more. ::::02::

    Thank God that both Eve Online and Hero's Journey will never get gobbled up by the diversity-killing entity known as SOE.

      SOE already made it on the box art.



  • DroiganDroigan Member Posts: 59

    I love that Box art. Really nice tribute to Keith Parkinson.

    And one thing I would like is to get the IP addresses of everyone saying "ZOMG Vanguard will suck now. I will never try it EBAH because SOE KILLED MY KITTEN!"

    That way, you could pinpoint them when they in the future logged into Vanguard and laugh at them. Not that I'm not laughing at them now, but be extra funny in game.
