Becuase it is NOT an official site you will not have moderators eliminating unflattering posts. I spent hours on the SWG forums and if you posted anything negative you could end up with your account being banned.
Because LOTRO is very linear and you'll be able to tear through it within couple months.... And then you'll be "Im Bored"
Guess what hotshot, its expansion is coming out in two months, it has already been anounced! Even without an expansion, at least you have a polished, fun and working game for 2 months. Better than crippled turtleware, no?
If there already planing on releaseing an expansion before the game even comes out, tells me there going to milk the players for every dime they can... Seriously a game that comes out should have enough content so they wouldnt need to release an expansion for at least 6-10 months later...
Not a bad bussiness model tho, charge $50 for the orginal game and then $30 every two months for more content on top of the $15 monthly fee....
The expansion and its contents are free. This is not $OE: you need to stop thinking like $OE.
Also, preorders pay $10 monthly or $199 up front/no subscription ever again. They do not expect you to buy expansions monthly like you would in EQ, or pay for beta like you do in Vanguard, or pay to get a product they promised wouldn't change like you would in SWG: you seeing the pattern here?
And I for one wish people posting how great this game is would post their system specs so people who are interested could get a realistic impression of the required PC to run this game.
AthlonXP 64 3000+, 1GB RAM, 256MB GeForce 7800GT. It runs well enough- none of the chunking issues others have expressed.

WoW! Someone complains that Lotro will not have enough content. I say it will. This time he complains that people will be milked over content! Vanboistic logic has always been interesting!
How about you mind your own being milked over beta phase... what 7 or 8?
There's tons of content in Vanguard, weather or not you like it is another issue....
Sounds to me LOTRO is being released before its done, that is why they need to release an expansion just 2 months in, bad thing is they are charging you for content that should of been in the game in the first place....
BTW, im not the one who brought up LOTRO, and I'm not in the LOTRO forum trolling like you are doing in the Vanguard forums....

I get 20-30 fps out in the wilds. Drops to 5-10 fps in Cities. Only time I get hitching/Stuttering is In town and Its pretty bad. So I mostly stay out of towns.

imo the closest thing Vanguard has to an official site is Silky Venom: http://www.silkyvenom.com

I see, don't look here because people here don't like VG and they'll badmouth it but it's ok to go to VG Official forums link?
And what do you think they'll get there? A non biased opinion of the game? Yeah, right.
