Yeah, you're not alone. I couldn't get into LoTRO either. Canceled my pre-order after trying out the open beta for roughly 3 weeks.
It's a solid game, fairly bug free, great performance even on a crappy computer like mine, but it just didn't gra…
Thanks for the apology, Mr. McQuaid. It still won't make me subscribe to Vanguard in its current condition, but I respect the effort and care with which you and your team went about trying to create a game you all felt strongly about.
Good luck o…

Decent 3d graphics. It doesn’t have shock me with how fantastic it …

Yeah, these are definitely three key criteria... and I'd add a couple more besides:
4) More immersive environment. This comprises many sub-factors, some of which are attempting to be addressed in the MMOs slate…
The above posters are correct to be skeptical about the term "Nex Gen" when it's applied to MMORPGs. The games in this genre have become so expensive to produce that "follow the leader" has become an industry norm. These days, all anyone seems to …

1. I'd like to see a Western MMO too. Deadlands, the PnP RPG, would make a perfect setting.
2. If there had to be yet another fantasy MMO on the horizon, I'd like them to base it on George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series.
3. An esp…

Quit without all the ceremony. Nobody cares.

Brad McQuaid:
So, again, I do apologize for the shortcomings, but am also proud of the game and its potential, and am confident that while it is a successful game now (certainly not a WoW, but not a D&D online either) it will gain momentum as …

We have now gone through billing cycles for the people who bought the game right away and very few people have cancelled.
Yeah ok... very few have cancelled ? That is such PR bs.
Alot of cancelled.. and wait till …
I'm not sure there is a best case scenario. I guess a least worst case scenario for Vanguard would be merely to survive with a player-base large enough to justify its maintainance costs. Say, maybe around 25,000-50,000 subscribers. Plenty of MMOR…
To the OP:
Thank you again for your detailed diaries. I especially am grateful for your emphasis on the performance issues which seem to be plaguing Vanguard at the moment. Because of your level-headed and clear-eyed observations, I have decided…

Thamoris,
Holy crap, just by reading your posts, I guessed to myself, "This guy must be from Texas!" All hat, no cattle!
Uhm, that's all. No need to respond, just thought it was funny how right my shot in the dark turned out to be.
