Should you buy now or wait?

I currently play WOW and just wondering if I should get vanguard . As it currently stands , is vanguard a great game to play. and more fun than WOW because of the in game depth or do the bugs ruin it too much to enjoy playing it? Also do a lot of people currently play on the servers?  Any help would be appreciated.

    It's very much fun for me! I cannot say it will be for you, but it is a great game so far for me, Such as I had to swim to a shipwreck for a quest, and when I first started my character I was working for the Emperor and now I'm trying to redeem myself (which turns out to be tricky).



    I'm on the RP preferred server and it seems pretty full to me.

    Thx  for the reply.  Also do they give you a free trial, because i never played the beta so would you like to try it first .

    The bugs are not that bad and a lot of them can be fixed by re logging. I have to do that sometimes. The server populations show low, but even when they do, there is a lot of people online. This game has some bugs, as do they all. It is still worth trying IMHO.

    I didn't like it when I first tested it. But as the hours rolled on and I seen how they worked hard to fix things, I grew to love the game. I grew to love what is and to what could and will be. The game is huge and there is much potential with expansions and patches. I don't think there is another game with the world so large as this one.

    Think Im going to try it anyway because of the depth of it with the combat and  being able to run your own taverns and make your own homes and ships. Im sure in time it will get better.

    14.99 a month, but if you have a Station Access it's included in the 24.99.

    To answer the OP only you know if you're ready for a new game.  Wether that new game is Vanguard, Guild Wars, or whatever you have to decide for yourself if you want to move on.

    What I can say about Vanguard is it's a bit more complicated than WoW.  It's funny that I'm so used to so many games that put you on an invisible path.  VG is a little different because there's SO much to do it can feel a little overwhelming.  You ask yourself things like "how far can I take diplomacy?"  "I wonder where this path leads" "How do I make it to that little island way off in the distance from this cliff I'm standing on?"  This is a really new world, in game economy and as a group running around exploring everyone is a "noob" so no question is too dumb.  I've played on a couple of servers and the community has been helpful for the most part.  I say if you have any interest in playing now is a pretty good time.  Would you rather blaze the trail or follow in the footsteps so to speak.  Good luck to you.

    I haven't come across any bugs yet.

    Performance is pretty good.

    I like it better than WoW.

    To the OP it's really dependent on you, some want to wait some got it now however I will agree  with ghost on the fact that if WoW is your only experince in MMOing Vanguard is like trowing you in the deep end when you don't know how to swim, theres no guiding hand so to speak so it will be a bit ovewheming once you get going but just do little things, and one core thing to point out unlike WoW the game doesn't 'require' you to cap your character to fully enjoy the game's content, key thing about VG is to explore, first thing you should do is go off the beaten path and just get lost in the world thats ore fun there then there then you'd expect 

    Bring on the WARRRRGGHH!

    Just like many have said during the beta...this game should not have been released yet.  I would wait 6-12 months or until you get a free trial then make up you mind.

     

    Never be afraid of choices. More choices are always good things.

    They were having some subscription issues last night and might still be having those same issues. If you had a EQ2 acount in the past just go to Station.com and then "My Account" and see if oyu can update it that way.
  • Masta22Masta22 Member Posts: 298

  • Masta22Masta22 Member Posts: 298
