WoW/EQ2

in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

When I was in the Beta I posted a review on these boards indicating how very similar VSH was to WoW and EQ2.  I was flamed and told I was lying, and chided for breaking the NDA.

So I just have one thing left to say:

Told you so

    Actually its similarities dies with the interface which every mmorpg rips off others but problem is that it took some of the stuff from EQ1 which for some reason was considered by sigil to be challenging but in actual fact was just plain annoying .

    I think that it goes way beyond the interface, everyone in my guild who played said "this is like a weird blend between WoW and EQ2!"



    Its got the EQ2 world look but has the wow quest and progression feel at least at the lower lvls which is all we were able to handle after the many crashes/glitches/bugs etc etc



    making a game with EQ2 graphics and WoW playability should be a huge hit, however I think they didnt get the best of both worlds by a long shot.



    As of next month Vanguard will cost me more in my station access account - which means its no longer worth me silently supporting this game in the hopes that it will improve with funding.



    not sure how many others are thinking about pulling their station access but in my EQ2 guild most of us are seriously considering it..which could mean a massive funding cut for vanguard...



    in order for Vanguard to survive it seems that they have decided to head to a more friendly game, instant teleporters, double xp, soon the differences between Vanguard, EQ2 and Wow will be much much less..

    Actually it really shouldn't be to much of a suprise giving Brad's gaming background. After all he was a developer for EQ and he has stated many, many times that he has played WOW.

    In all honesty I was amazed that Vanguard would so blatantly rip off another company's UI....



    Its not like they simply took the idea or functionality but they took the style!



    When my friend saw me playing the Beta he said:  "I think I played this game before"



    He hadn't, he just thought he did because the UI is so similar.



    In any event the game was unoriginal and for the most part I felt like I was playing a really crappy version of WoW with EQ2 graphics.



    I don't see why anyone would want to play this game.  I don't play EQ2 or WoW anymore but they are both better games.  I was looking forward to the huge open world aspect of it, but I never got the same feeling as I did when I set out in the vastness of a world on SWG.



    oh well.

    nope man. You are still wrong.



    None of those three games have anything in common. Ah.. well. All three have elves
