I did the open beta. What a major let down.
But I say this game is in the process of a complete turn around. It's really a good game lately and is, I think, destined to be the best game on the market.
I don't think WAR is the answer a lot of old school MMO players are looking for (but WAR will be more popular).
I too am looking forward to reliving my glory days of Dark Age of Camelot when Warhammer is released, but VG and WAR are not designed anywhere near the same.
DAoC is a PvP/PvE hybrid as WAR will be also. And it's insanely fun.
But Vanguard is (or is quickly becoming) a truly great game. WAR will have zones and instances (but not like the steaming turd that is AoC), and thats fine.
Vanguard is what I personally consider to be a real virtual world. It's huge and open.
But I would suggest not playing the game yet. Wait until the developers add things like the upcoming character model revamp and other upcoming things like deep sea fishing, player placed campsites/fires, PvP chess/darts/checkers (and other tavern games), gardens for your real estate, etc.
In other words, keep an eye on this sleeping giant. But maybe wait until they release the Trial Island and effectively 're-launch' the game.
By early next year, Vanguard will be poised to receive a LOT of deserved attention (not to mention most gamers rigs should be able to handle this monster by then).
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.

You could keep saying the same thing about any MMO. Because they will always keep getting better... (except for maybe SWG). After all those features you talked about are implemented, some guy will come on this forum and say "The Vision is back on track, but wait for the new expansion." etc..
Vanguard is a good game right now. And if you want to play in a huge world with alot of content, what a MMORPG should be, then give it a shot.
i've played a lot of MMOs. Vanguard is the best right now.
I have been considering giving vanguard a try recently. Any chance I could get a buddy key from someone to try it out?
Thanks
