I personally hope that they are lying if they really did indeed say that they will not ever make a starcraft mmorpg.. Other than that I cant wait for Vanguard!! I hope it is as good as I think it will be=)

Ofcourse...all of this is completely unfounded personal opinion....who can truly say...
I was really trying to say why another CLASS based fantasy game?
Some of your points on sci-fi indicate why fantasy is the predominant genre for mmo. However how many skills based fantasy games out there? Ryzom is the only one I know of! It all goes back to Gygax's D&D which like WoW now is the template for core game design. Of course there were many skills based rpg and so really there should be more skills based mmorpg.
A lot of people also specualte that fantasy is the most popular genre because people wish to escape from the modern world and hi-tec society. Returning to a fantasy genre is more escapist, appeals to the human psche (which is still adapting to the post-industrial world), and uses the fairy tale elelement to appeal to the child in all of us.
Not my personal opinion but one argued clevery in a British National paper.
Good job on the preview. I am really excited about Vanguard. It seems like it will combine alot of aspects from other games like WoW and SWG into one fantastic game.

How about you not speak for Sigil friend? It's that Psudo Hardcore mentality that's almost ruined the boards over there. Brad and company ARE already entertaining the thought of alternate rule servers so why not raid free ones.
BTW I was in a Elemental/Time lvl EQ1 guild so I know the score. Months upon months of raiding to garner 5-6 items isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

After playing the game for several hours..this preview seems pretty empty.Mayby for 30 minutes play. But for a professional reviewer....frankly seems like a lot of fuzz.As a professional reviewer,expectations for what will be contained and what will not ,should have been stated right up front.

Agreed, not much else to say. It was an all-in-all preview, and i'm sure many people are now just dying to play Vanguard (me included
).
