Vanguard, for the dragon mounts. Flying above the game world was a magical feeling. Asheron's Call, my first MMO. Not your typical generic fantasy world, the monsters were so different and strange.

Wait you played the game and watched the demos and didn't even get any video for us?!?! How lame.
Does the spell system allow one to shape shift like the Druid ability in PoE if so I'm there if on the other hand its just…
For those who set themselves goals to be the amongst the "elite" i.e. beat just about everyone else to this or that, they will probably feel aggrieved. For the rest who just want to enjoy the game without worrying about what everyone else is doing, …
I do finish the RPG games I play. I start off doing every single mission/quest I find or explore, but over time there is a repetitiveness to the gameplay and I find myself rushing to finish the game before I get bored. When I got Skyrim on the day i…
After watching the trailer, I got a question: the scenes of people flocking to Vault 111 at the time of the announcement of the nuclear attack, then at the end the Vault Dweller emerging wearing a Vault 111 suit. Could he be the baby depicted in the…

Wait, bard's Tale IV? thats 4, there were 2 more Bard's tale after the first one (2 and 3)? I didn't even know that. I'll have to take a look at those.
Loved those old Bard's Tales games, especially the third one. Fight…

I really like what he said in the final paragraph - don't demonize risk takers when they fail. Failures are necessary, as otherwise you never learn, and without risk takers there is no innovation.
Maybe so, but to take…
Asheron's Call 1 didn't really have classes as characters were skill-based. My first AC1 character was my favorite: Mace warrior with Life Magic. All the benefits of heavy armor with healing and buff magic. Two classes from my time with Vanguard sta…
I put it down to developer laziness. Surely a game can offer diversity in races and classes and also provide cookie-cutter templates for casuals who want to get started right away. But by offering few choices for character creation and development, …
As some have mentioned, the only way I can see Vanguard being revived is for it to be sold to an independent, probably small, company who'll give the game attention in much the same way that Vitrium has done and is still doing for Horizons/Istaria. …
Wow, that's a real blast from the past! I still have the Classic Traveller booklets plus some adventures and supplements stored away somewhere. I bought them probably late 70s or early 80s but never really got into the game as much as AD&D. I di…
Originally posted by Shorun I'd like to see a MMORPG actually give you a quest without the instructions.

Example:
The Quest: "The Goblins are planning an attack on the village. Stop them."
That's everything you have. Now you can seek o…
The memories I have of AC1. I played the 3 month open beta and was there for the live launch. Then stayed with AC1 for almost 7 years. The first 2 years were the best I'd ever experienced in any MMO since. My most exciting memory of AC was the deter…
I don't have a personal ranking list of favoured MMO crafting systems, every crafting system in MMOs is unique in their own way. The ones that stood out for me are:
Vanguard: spent hours levelling up crafting toons to max level in all crafting prof…
My first impression on seeing the start of the video was Skyrim. Has the look of Skyrim even if it doesn't play like it. Minimalistic UI, a game that looks like DA:I looks shouldn't be overwhelmed with hotbars, maps, and icons. The dragon fight look…
Never say never. If the game proves to be a best-seller, CDPR might be tempted to consider a 4th Witcher game starring Geralt. They did say they might consider continuing the series in the same game world, but with a new protagonist. Witcher 3 is su…
