i was logging into the forums today when i saw a new hype comment. He wasnt happy he said he got into beta (yes he broke the NDANADNADN thingy so i already said it before anyone else could 
) and that he didnt like the game go figure?..lol but what bothered me about what he said was that its like EQ2 with better graphics..........now lately i havent been letting the negative ppl bother me because im REALLY looking forward to this game and everything ive seen and read is amazing me more and more. BUT i do not want another EQ2....i was so disapointed in that game....they can make all the patchs they want and expansions but eq2 is still not what i thought it was gonna be......now i he didnt say what exactly makes it like eq2...because one of the things i hated was the feeling of being traped in te towns and levels...with the INVISBLE walls blocking me from going up a hill lol u all no what im saying? and i know vanguard has a u can see it u can probly go to it policy...so thats ok...and the next thing wuold be the loading times and Zones in EQ2 wich Vanguard also does not have....so now im just really curious what this idiot was trying to compare...and if ur him and ur reading this please go ahead and explain how its like EQ2.

I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!
In fact, forget the SWG!!!!
I'm looking forward to this game, even with all the negative hype its getting. Once the game is released then people will post reviews and you'll be able to use that as a real guide. (always make sure the reviews base their points off of actual things instead of just i hate it! or Its dumb!). It is possible that it isn't really that great... and if it isn't then i'll find out by things that are actual facts and things that i know are true instead of just speculation or things i cannot prove a the moment.
If it sucks, then i will not play it.
If it is really good, then i will play it.
But no one on here or before it is released is going to change my mind about the game. And it shouldn't. Unless i get into beta, I'll still be a VG fan until i find out that its not for me, if it is in fact not the game for me...
Current MMO of interest: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
MMO background: EQ, UO, AO, SWG, PS, EQ2, L2,EQoA, WoW, WWIIO, and AC2
He probably meant EQ2 as in what EQ1 to EQ2 would be if BRad had anything to do with it. Not so much the current EQ2 game.
If you like long ass mana regen times, long ass periods of running to and fro, nasty death penalties and practically no direction then you'll probably like VG.
I was hoping they would take the boring crap from EQ1 OUT and keep the fun stuff. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case... though there is hope, it's still in beta but I'm not holding my breath.
The graphics do look nice but the animations are horrid and the spell effects are about as impressive as WoW's and that's not saying much at all.

One of the reason why Brad Mcquaid left SoE in the first place is probably because he didn't have enough free hand in making EQ2.
Let's not forget that Brad was the producer/designer of the original version of EQ2.
The reason why he left the company was because he didn't like what SOE had in mind for EQ2 release.
Yes there are similarities with EQ2, of course half of the staff of Sigil worked on EQ2, Brad included as I mentioned.
-The crafting system to start with, it will follow the lines of the first version of EQ2 crafting, before the nerfing (Probably the responsible is the same person who made EQ2)
-The Races and Classes will have an EQ2 feel, but with major changes.
-The graphic will have the same EQ2 style, although with a more colored palette (Again, the programmers could be the people who did EQ2 graphics)
Apart for that, averything else is completely different from EQ2.
Vanguard is the evolution of EQ1, what was meant to be EQ2.
It wouldn't make sense for Brad to risk his money in doing a photocopy of a game he already designed for SOE.........would it?
