    "server overpopulation"

    LOL :)

    propably a dev trying to make some marketing for vanguard saga of vanbois...

    since lord of the rings online pre-order started last week and since its official release is in a few days there is no reason to play vanguard anymore and I highly doubt that vanguard has a overpopulation problem :)

    lord of the rings is far better than vanguard and runs 10.000 times more stable, so please stop making commerical for dark and light's brother, since we are no idiots..

    Hear hear!

    I agree, even on the SOE forum people are asking for a server merge since the LOTR preorder came out. And to be honest it's 2007 now, customers don't have to put up with hardcore grinding and bad performance anymore to play a mmo, that type of gameplay died with the age of Anarchy Online.

    Oh, dang! You caught me. Yes this is a Sigil developer.  I'm very frustrating trying to post my "viral" messages. Every time I do some incredibly bright child on the forum catches me!

    You kids are making it very hard from an honest developer to post viral messages on the server.

    You are just too smart!

    I play on Tharridon and there is no lack of server population. Sometimes i wish there were fewer people.

    Does anyone know of any out of the way questing areas for characters in their early 20s on Qalia?
    There is a server over-population problem on Vanguard servers?



    Wow,  I haven't noticed that on my server at all..

    Im on Flroendyl, btw.

    Florendyl is underpopulated. 

    Damn...underpopulated....you sure you play vanguard on that server? If you think it's underpopulated i don't want to hear you say a server is overpopulated...but hey! I am sure you know what you are talking about and the players i meet arent really around....must be the booze here...

    It's obvious enough that you are an idiot with statements like that. But Hey! have fun with the rest of the kids in lord of the rings, you suit perfectly for that.

    You do understand that the one that is dreaming is you Gin. No offense bro, but in reality gamers will always play the game which is most fun for them. In reality if people leave Vanguard for LotrO then reality tells me that they like LotrO more then Vanguard. Sure we have some gamers that pure because something runs well they will play it. But there also are gamers with different taste in games in which Vanguard offers allot of different things compared to LotrO, yes i've been in beta with lotro since december 2006 but thought febuari 2007 i stopped playing as i kinda had enough for a while of LotrO as it did not capture me for long, might jump in in a few months from now just maybe. But also seeing the development Vanguard has gone thru also been with it since last decemeber 2006 i still enjoy Vanguard because of the choices the game offers. But in all seriousness people will always play the game which is most fun to them. Why is that so increddible diffecult for some people to understand is really a mistery. Maybe i will play Vanguard another 2 months maybe another 2 year, who knows......

    Anarchy Online is doing fine... it's an old lady that has retained plenty of its old timers and sees plenty of them coming back for a while every now and then... one day you'll learn that a nice community is more important than flashy mickey graphics or 15 mins doable targets.



    As for no reason to play Vanguard because LOTRO is going live?

    Make us all a huge favor and return play smurfs online and enjoy the company of a gazillion teens (and plz post on THOSES forums!!)



    "since we are no idiots"... not idiots: just different people with different interests and a huge incapacity to imagine that maybe not everybody is interested in the same stuff

    Several minutes to zone?  EQ2 zones take 2-5 seconds to load for me and I don't have to "load" more when I get near things which causes more stutters, etc...

                           Back when EQ2 was releasead you could go do something else while a zone was loading. Especially if you didnt have a top performance pc. Nowdays after 2 years of optimazation and advance in computer technology is much better. Still tnowhere near (2-5) secs you claim. Even if you do have a comp that will load you fast, dont tell me that you dont have to wait for other people while zoning for a raid. Its bio time for us. Dont have time now, will explain to you later the difference between chunking and zoning ,their cons and pros of how I see them. But dont give me chunking as game breaking characteristic and immersion killer, when you play games with zoning which take 10 times as much time to load you from one area to the other. In my opinion its just plain stupid.


    Yes EQ2 loads zones in 2-5 seconds for me.  It always has loaded quickly for me.  I still have the same computer that I had when I played it on release.  Ram is very important with EQ2 for zone loading, I have 2gig.  If your raid members only have 512mb then they are gonna wait awhile but I doubt that is any different with Vanguard.  Have 512 that chunk is gonna take longer to load.  Plus when you walk up to a object sometimes it still has to load again.  I don't have to worry in EQ2 about having things pop up out of nowhere because they didn't load when I zoned and cause me to stutter while it does so.  I would take zones any day over these "chunks" of Vanguard.

    How can you be a honest developer if you were trying to do a underhanded viral message by pretending to be a player not a developer?



    (P.S. Yes I know your not a real dev)

Sure i understand people are into that sort of games (afterall 8 mill people play that other basic mmorpg called WoW so they must have done something right). Me? I rather prefer vanguard. So i dare to say it bluntly, those who left vanguard for lotr shouldnt even have started the big boys game. But that's the fun of having different taste now isn't it.

    If being a "big boy" means paying to play a beta in order to help a dillusional idiot fund his vision while he can't even accurately put system requirements on the box that actually work, and blaming the rest of the world for having bad hardware when he doesn't support the latest graphics cards, then the rest of will be quite happy waiting for our balls to drop or a dev to make a game that works (whatever comes first).

Those complaining about not being able to run the game should stick to consoles since they use crappy pc's. But hey! i heard lotr is a good game for wannabee gamers so you would fit in perfectly! Now go back to your crappy pc, loadup lotr and play with people named  legooolassss, aaaaaraaagggoonnnnn. ANd have fun with the bots since the news is that harvesting bots are already going rampart!

Yup my lying eyes yesterday told me that a dungeon was to full to have good fun.....all those imaginary players....tsk tsk Sigil uses imaginary players to get the game filled up with people...florendyl is so empty.....the next guy stating that florendyl is empty should get a slap in the face for lying out of his ass.

    Don't always believe the system requirements what publishers would print (gamers should know better by know). I really do not think any of the below games can truly be enjoy'd or even played decent at those spec requirements.

    And that notion about "help a dillusional idiot fund his vision while he can't even accurately put system requirements on the box that actually work " sorry to say but really makes no sense at all. Really why that disrespectfull, you are not the one that has spend 30mill. you sure act like it. No offence bro but seriously check other games if Vanguard isn't fun for you.

    A large majority of members of this board nowadays are freeloaders who go from beta to beta to F2P to Trials, ad infinitum. No surprise they leave VG once its time to sub up and join the next new free offering.

    No I am not. I base this number from an official statement from one of the people in sigil. Where do YOUbase your number? Intuition? Divine inspiration? The force? A little green man came down and told you?


    odd, because the last they have said (brad himself) was that they were approaching 200k sales, pretty popular post of his. meaning less than that. well over half have left or never went past the free month, as has also been leaked. you do the math. so who/where did you read they have 200k+ subs? would love to see that one
