There isnt a thing I would disagree with right there.
Did I miss the part where you bought a new PC since 2007? My PC hasnt been upgraded since 2012 and Vanguard ran great when I logged in a few months ago, but the game still suffered from chunking. Also, screen shots do little justice for performance. I can find my Dell Laptop from 2005 and put everything on ultra. Ill get 1-3 fps, but itll be really pretty. Picking up what Im putting down?
Other games did it before Vanguard and plenty of MMOs have added it.
Bard and Necro pets needed a smoother UI (I had to look up how to play these classes on the internet. They werent noobie friendly in other words.) though. Working with that shit was archaic, though I enjoyed the classes.

You didn't seriously just ask me to judge game performance from screenshots did you?

I thought that as well and reread it a few times thinking I must be having reading comprehension problems. Could be possible it's a damn fine troll job? If so hats off, that's pretty funny.
Sad to see it go, I had a lot of time in this game, good friends (Miss you Veracity), good memories. Haven't played it for 3 or 4 years now, but still kind of a bummer.

Yes we definitely had a few touchy people. I constantly fucked with everyone, people told me I helped keep the sensitive ones more balanced/loosened up since I was on the opposite end of the spectrum =p I really miss the guild as a whole, first guild I was in where I got along with nearly everyone. The bard group was pretty cool, in past guilds every class I was had infighting/competition, but us bards were pretty tight. Zak was so much fun to fuck with tho, he'd nerd rage so fast lol. Miss Dem and Elly, they were a cool couple. And Chapet was such a solid bro. Loved gaming with that dude, we duoed so much shit that lots of groups failed at.
I am going to miss this game a lot. Even with all its bugs, I met a bunch of good people who were willing to put up with a lot of bullshit to enjoy the game.
The last few months were pretty sad with the mass exodus, but that's to be expected. I'm glad I was able to run around stiirhad killing shit inside with the help of guildmates and 3rd party programs. I was hoping to solo syranoth with my army, and I got pretty close but oh well.
I hope that in the last few months of the game, my guildmates and I were able to help out as many people as we could to enjoy the endgame as well as try to give away as many items/potions/mounts/etc as possible. I know I had at least 20 of the ridiculous flying whale mounts up for sale on the broker for like a gold.
I had some great memories and lots of laughs. I will definitely miss the community for sure.
At least now I know to avoid SOE products.

Why? They let a game, that would have been cancelled either before release or within the first year by just about any other company, run for nearly 8 years. In a world of shitty MMO companies SOE is one of the best.

That is not fair at all. Any other company would have shut down Vanguard years ago. Its population was an absolute joke.
Agreed. Vanguard would have been axed long ago by any other publisher. Actually it just would have been canceled because Microsoft was getting rid of it and for whatever reason SOE decided to foot the bill and launch it.

Pretty sure they were actually for making black and white, hyperbolic, baiting comments just so you can start an argument, backtrack from what your comments seemed to be implying, argue with people like it matters, and seem like you're trying to make yourself look smart over dumb shit like Vanguard.
Or, I dunno, maybe Vanguard's art was just really good, which I don't think anyone believes except you thinking others do when you argue it was all shit and others point out it wasn't all shit because blanket statements like that are ignorant.

Actually no, all 3 negs consisted of 'WoW sucked' or something similar. It was pretty bad. While I played Vanguard there was definitely a sense of 'us and them'. REAL Vanguard players couldn't possibly enjoy World of Warcraft. That kiddie pussy shit is awful, right??
It was a really common thing for VG players to cloister up among themselves and ignore the rest of the MMORPG industry. Honestly, that's probably what kept many of them playing so long. Guild chat would get insufferable sometimes.

I too had a great time in Vanguard. A lot of things about the game were great, and a lot of things about the game were incredibly broken... The world was so open for exploration.. The classes were fantastic, I was a huge fan of the blood mage and disciple (especially the beta version!)
The way itemization worked was good in that it didnt have you looking for a replacement item every level that had +2str +2vit on it. Items were often unique and powerful.
Uninstanced open world made for awesome PvP.. We had a lot of fun nights group PvPing over dungeons against other guilds.... PvP was what also ruined the game for me and caused me to unsubscribe.. It was so incredibly broken.. the rampant hacking, 1 shotting and broken way invisibility worked was awful.
The crafting and diplomacy were both great with their own complicated minigames, although the crafting was so time consuming that probably the first 50 max level crafters were all botters.
I was actually playing again around 6 months ago but the lack of players around definitely reduced the fun.
