Yeah, but what does it have to brag about? It"s been firmly established that current working titles (LOTR, etc) can mysteriously offer a similar experience with 1/2 the hardware requirements. Thanks for being so specific in your comparisons! Woah!! Stop the presses! If the game has "OMFG!!11...

You started off by saying that you didn"t see what was so great about WoW"s battle system or how the quests were just "kill 10 mobs". You then launched right into why you like that Vanguard sent you into dungeons to tie in some lore. Thats really wonderful... I applaud your enjoyable...

I hate to break it to you, but quests that send you into dungeons - even different parts of dungeons - is not remotely groundbreaking or new. If you think this makes VG unique, I think you need to check out other MMORPGs. Simple solution. Put your own private forum up where you and all your VG...

I wonder why more companies haven"t done lifetime subscriptions. How do people feel about this mode of billing? My guess is that it depends on the average retention period of an MMORPG player. If you work under the assumption that most players get a years worth of interest from a product and...

The guy is a fucking clown. People in this thread might disagree with each other, vehemently, but this douche bag and his crying about getting out of the thread is just comedy gold.

I did not beta VG. I have, however, had experience with the "released product". If VG beta had ingame surveys that were triggered upon quest completion or dungeon exploration , kudos!! My next question would be, did anyone at Sigil read those surveys???

My point with regards to the reviews was that people keep overlooking the fact that VG is still a game, and a game needs to be enjoyable from the moment you start. People who dismiss a review because the reviewer didn"t play it for a year are missing the point of a game review. It"s a review...

Weren"t people saying similar things about VG"s Beta? I am also in LOTR beta and one thing I will say is that they really seem to be trying. I was pretty amazed the first time I completed a quest, and an ingame survey popped up asking me to provide all kinds of feedback on the quest; ranging...

60-70% are some of the better scores that VG got. Many of the reviews are substantially lower. However, as preschoolers like Morderick will point out - if the reviews don"t gush over Brad"s spawn, they must all be wrong! Obviously if you haven"t played the game for 200 hours to find that one...

If you are telling me the majority of reviews were positive, please by all means provide the list. I didn"t say the reviews were all 30%... I said the bulk of the reviews were mediocre.. in the 60-70% range, and that is pretty shitty for a team with as much MMO experience and funding as Sigil...

Incidentally, VG got mediocre to shitty scores on just about every review site out there. Are you willing to throw all of those out the window and say that the entire collection of reviewing sites just mysteriously missed the mark on VG? Would you feel the same if they gave the game glowing...

I"ve not heard anyone complain about queue issues since TBC. I"ve not seen a queue once on Moonrunner since then, and yes - we did have queues leading up to the expansion, at which point they either physically upgraded for the expansion or upped the queue limit.. /shrug.

And we see how well "success" of the past translate into success of the future.. AMIRITE? nudge nudge wink wink Brad/EQ. Isn"t that Brad"s line?

Oh look, a bitter QQing VG Fanboi with a WoW axe to grind - who would have thought ??? First off, I wouldn"t even go down the road of WoW vs. VG - its just not even applicable at this point. Even if you do want to go throwing gas on that fire, I would get your facts straight. Toss out the old...

I think SWG did a stellar job of proving that a solid IP does nothing but give you a foot in the door. From that point you have to actually deliver. If SOE/LA had put together a really solid team of devs that produced a fun game, they would easily have millions of subscribers. Its nothing short...
