How long did it take you to get to LvL 42? I really want to play this game, but I am involved with WOW right now, but the graphic shots I see of VG is just outstanding!!!!!! At what LvL do you get a Mount? What is the best soloing class?, DPSHealerminons
I've came back and played for about a month now as well.
How long to get 42? I'd say if you play about 6-8 hours a day and have a good or constant group( meaning no one leaves the group early or whatever) It could take about 3 weeks minimum. The only sad part is from level 1-25 it can be very hard sometimes to find a group because majority of the people are on the higher end content now. It also depends on your class, but you can get to level 20 pretty quick soloing anyway.
Mounts can be bought at level 10 20 30 40 50, there are 2 quests the unicorn and shadowhound mount which is insanely long and tedious but somewhat worthwhile, they have the speed of a level 30 mount.
IMO every class can solo some just have a longer downtime than others for example the warrior and rogue class have limited abilities to solo well where as the sorceror have great AE spells that kills quite fast (as long if u can stay alive that is) I play a dreadknight and I can solo 4-6 mobs all at once (2-3 levels below me with 3 dot -usually above average- difficulty) or can take up to 3 mobs 2 levels above me with 3 dot difficulty.
I've taken TONS of screenshots, but dont know any websites where I can upload em on to link em for you guys. But if you do play the game you NEED to check out Vi'rak Lair, those salamanders look real as hell. Just awesome, also I like the Wailing Valkyries in graystone dungeon. If you seen them you'd be amazed as well.

These have the run/stability stats of a level 40 mount, are usable at level 30, and have the 10g cost of a level 30 mount. Running one of these questlines essentially saves you 50g at level 40.

Upload them to this site. It allows you to create your own photo gallery.
Yep, no mounts at lvl 50. But i think that the flying deer may still be in game lol.
I havent thought about the GFX in VG since August or something. The bugs everyone is outlining has no impact on gameplay (for the most part). Sure you need a gaming system to play it but I wouldn't even play WoW without one.
VG is a sick game that just recently added raiding to its content. Only problem is that there is a very low world population, so get in game and see what you can do to help!
Really? i think that is jumping the gun just a little bit Why would they close the game at this time now it's improving and the population is growing? dont misunderstand me friend, i am not trying to talk you into liking the game at all. Thats your choice, but i dont think they are going to close the game because some people dont like it when it's clear they still have enough subs to be making a small profit.

With well over 30million dollars involved in this game it will be a Looooooooong time before ever see a profit on this game.
Consider 50k subs at 15 a month will take 3 years before they even get close to breaking even on intial investment...
That doesn't account for server maintenance or additional programmer time devoted to trying to keep it floating long enough that they don't lose 10's of millions on it.
Profit is still another 3years off unless they get into the hundreds of thousands of subs.
I doubt Sony has anywhere close to 30 million wrapped up in this game. Most likely they bought Sigils assest for pennies on the dollar, plus however many millions they invested over the last year+ they kept Sigil afloat.
I would guess less than 15 million, but thats is just pure speculation.
I don't think SOE were the one that put 30 million into Vanguard are they? All they have to recover is whatever the cost was when they acquired Sigil. I don't remember seeing what that cost was if anyone knows.

Yet again SOE has suckered people to pay for beta.

I can't believe this game hasn't shut down completely yet.
