Thank you for the witty responce. Are you one of those people who whine if someone beats you begging t…
It was a response to the "Turbine into a developer in the same league with Blizzard" bit. Turbine is by no means in the same league with Blizzard though it might make it there if LoTRO continues to garner new subscriptions.
You might actually ge…
Sorry if anything I reply to has been said before but I only read the last page and the first two pages.
Turbine hasn't been an obscure gaming company in most gamers minds for quite some time. If they didn't know Turbine developed Asheron's Ca…
Given the HL2 engines age now I wouldn't mind seeing it used for an MMO. I say this only because it would probably run at a higher frame rate than Unreal 3 or especially the Crysis engine.
If you look at the newer games on that list of Unreal en…

Well, quitting EVE over this is ridiculous, so what, a few devs MAYBE got some advantages, or MAYBE helped some friends. There are people (players) out there that scam others (morall…
I'd have to agree so far with M4rvin. This doesn't answer any of the questions posed by the players. However, it IS good to see that CCP is continuing to report back to their subscribers on the situation and that possibly some actual action will b…

Sorry as stoneysilenc said just previous to this post you can't play a game unless you own the box. Your assumptions are also wrong in that SOE only considers you among subscrip…
I'd probably say it has something to do with Sigil closing their official forums. With all those players displaced they had to find places to go to and this site probably ended up with more than a few.
All those aren't exactly good things for everyone though.
Very few teleports (a few in dungeons).
Possibly a good thing (I think so) but that really depends on the person. If you don't mind long travel times (given that he plays EVE I don't t…
TBH if you're looking for PvP neither game is probably the one you want to be looking at. Though if you're really curious go over to www.mogarmy.net and ask them on the forums. They're very focused on PvP and are currently playing on the FFA PvP s…
Sorry to pop your vanboi bubble but open beta is nothing more than stress testing the servers and...wait for it...a TRIAL. Nowadays open beta IS a trial for the majority of the MMO community and if open beta isn't what players thought it would be s…
If you don't have the horsepower to run VG then I'd think pretty much anything would be a worthwhile alternative.
To be serious though EQ2 might be a decent alternative though it IS missing several of the very nice (imo) features that VG has:

Where did you get your info that all All-Access players are "subscribed" to Vanguard even if they don't own it? Vanguard is not a SOE game so Sigil doesn't see a penny of that m…
Capacity would be 20k not 15k and they don't open new servers for buddy keys so including them in any estimate would be foolish. While I personally do believe it's closer to that 225k figure than the 300k I'd be very much surprised if it was signif…
If Vanguard has 15 servers (which I don't know since I cancelled my preorder after trying the trial for a couple weeks) then VG probably has anywhere from 225,000-300,000 subscribers (given 15k to 20k subscribers per server). 80,000 would be ridicu…
I've seen how VG runs on a computer comparable to yours (with an ATI card of the same generation) and VG ran pretty poorly. Then again if you don't mind playing on either the lowest or second lowest graphical setting you might be able to scratch by…
Artistically I'd probably prefer VG mostly because of the massive draw distance allowing some nice looking vistas. Now the animations in EQII are still better and the graphical differences between the game (other than draw distance) aren't enough t…
How exactly do you get 9/10 from the numbers he gave? If you average those numbers out it comes to 7.8/10.
One thing that really amused me about the article was "Animations are strong." Riiiight.
With the closure of the VG forums I would've …
