Vanguard is shaping up to be great game so far
Graphic's
The monsters and scenery is all hand drawn and the players view goes far off into the horizon (even this is way better then current mmo's)
Crafting
They fixed the problem of mudflation by having it so you go to npc's and craft for them to lvl crafting up so the market isn't flooded and there is no vendor bait
They made items that crafters make to sell or use require and group for higher crafts so even crafting for items you keep isn't done solo
They made it so crafted items aren't cookie cutter and can have variable qualities, same for items adventurers find (add collectablity)
There is alot more here for crafters too but we will wait for beta too see it
Camping Bosses
No long needed to waste hours just have bosses ksed
'advanced encounter system' allows for you to advance through a dungeon or area with all normal encounters open and then if your party chose to use the advanced encounter system when you fight the boss without it being ksed away from the party
Still need to see this in action
Classes skills and Character stats
Skills and stats will be more important. Looks like they cascade out
stats-skills-ablities/spells
New skills and new ways to use them etc.
Over all Vangaurd is addressing alot of problems you have seen in many other mmo's and on top of that they are working on making the game better in every aspect then perivous mmo's
so while i am sure many people out there might have doubts Vangaurds plans place it in the spot of the furtures 'greatest mmo every' but we will have to wait until the beta to see if it lives up to this

All in the lanter were happy. The pesants milked thier cows. The cows mooed delightedly and all the smelled like flaming s**t in EQ was thought about long and hard and replaced with a concept not made by a blubbering markteering money grubbing...... Grrr happy thought..happy thoughts.
Sigh

Lycnas is expressing his disappointment over the outcome of Everquest. Where a successful innovative fun game was bought out by a massive corporation which didn't try to make the game more interesting, immersive and challenging (understanding like Verant did that success would come when these goals were embraced) but rather worked to sell as many boxes as possible.

Hi,
Great post! I'm also looking forward to seeing and playing this game. The combat system sounds very intriguing and much different from the known boring grind.
Just wanted to add that there is an IRC chat scheduled for any questions gamers have for the developers of Vanguard. That announcement was made by Kheldon and can be found here: http://www.vanguardsoh.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=25236
