I dont collect monsters, I kill collections of monsters. Its way better.

So Smedley just admitted that EQ2 is boring?  He said "if you're bored of killing monsters, you can play cards instead", or something like that.  Talk about a horrible idea.

Damn SOE's a joke. #1: don't smart-ass your boss in front of the customers. Most of the videos are commercials with no real gameplay save maybe the Agency, which has "great" enemy A.I. btw (guys running up to you without shooting). They ruined SWG and EQ2 with the latter having a horrible design from the ground up (load times anyone? Bad customer service with items attached to the server, not to the player profile???).

I hear Vanguard's a joke and Sony in general as a company isn't doing so hot.

ROFLMAO.......... He's a f*cking moron. First he ruined SWG, he then starts helping Vanguard on it's feet and now this... one step forward (VG) but two steps backwards.

Wow. I mean come on, online trading card game? At least with normal trading card games theres value to the cards (most times) this is just silly.

Although the last cards i traded was for a rookie card of some guy who won the NBA dunk contest when I was 8. Bah was probably the last time the Celtics were good anyways.

Welp! WoW made a card game for their MMO...Why not SOE jump on the bandwagon eh?

....meh, since I am familiar with the EQ and EQ2 universe, I guess it could hold some fun.

It's actually not a terrible idea, and if you really think about it the idea is actually relatively original.  That being said, I just don't see it taking off.  Maybe if it was part of a new ground breaking MMO (or one that has been very successful for around a year), then it would be a great addition.  As it is, the goal is obviously to bring in some new paying customers to EQ and EQ2.  From that standpoint, it may actually be somewhat successful; but I really think it needs to be part of a new or newer game to really take off.

ROFL...what a way to utilize the UE3.  

Magic cards with advanced dynamic shadowing!  I can't wait.

What a letdown though.
