I remember, disciples were king of soloing next to necros who were worlds ahead of everyone else.

It’s all good. It seems like shaman HoT doesn’t work and the next bear thing isn’t working.
I will be catching up my disciple and prolly making something else.
I always end up going to some out of the way dungeon and exploring. The sheer size of a few of them is crazy.

Yeah, I'm loving the alts and will play what the group needs. I'm loving those dungeons, there are so many.

Shaman is a little more complicated than just some spells also. Their system and callings I can see taking some time to fill in. Rogue is low priority likely because of its popularity. Not that many people cared about rogue on my server. It definitely wasn't like Roguecraft with WoW. Was the opposite on my server. VG was a lot of hybrids and casters.
I miss the itemization system. Felt so much better than WoW.

No, it’s missing a lot of stuff from live. It’s constantly being updated but it’s more like an emulator to get on and fuck around at low to mid levels and check out the world than a finished emulator like eq.

What a stupid map design. How are the uncharted waters right in between all the land masses. The waters outside the masses should be uncharted, not the ones directly in the middle.

It hasn't gone gold yet. It's in ultra pre-alpha phase but they're working nonstop on it.
It's hard to give an estimate when it will go gold.

I still have the original box, but it's just the pleb level original. I didn't spring for any upgraded options.

How amused I would be if this pile of broken toys emulator came together and was in a P99 state before Pantheon even hit regular Alpha.
I really enjoyed the tab system. Definitely a system that could be picked up and expanded upon so that you could keep all your cosmetic shit. I remember digging my Diplomacy outfit back in retail.

Its a bittersweet reminder that VG had a full rollout. If SOE bit down and ran the costs up for another 6 months and demanded CTD and group invites be fixed, it would have thrived.
The group disconnect bug was something you needed to be a true fan of the genre to get past. Constant reinvites, disbands, over and over. Group dropped. Group dropped. Especially when WoW was still killing it and EQ2 wasn't exactly irrelevant. The competition was fierce. Age of Conan came out within the next 10 months after Vanguard launched and got big attention as well.
Your group throwing you out of it randomly was probably the biggest killer to Vanguard. The CTD's weren't that bad. It was the group bug that just kicked you in the nuts. Each session you would lose your group at least 15-20 times. That's not really a bug you go gold with. That's something you need to delay launch and eat the costs on.
