Stability and lag is top most priority for devs right now and they are actively working. Here are two latest threats from official forums ....things should be better in few days hopefully

Logged on this evening for the first time in 3 days. Played for about 10 minutes before everything froze and I ended up back at the character select screen. Logged back on 5 minutes later surrounded by hostile mobs *boom* dead. That was the 10th or 11th time I've tried to finish those quests in the storeroom in Tursh without lagging out and/or being dropped back to the login screen. Some people don't seem to be having a problem with the game. Maybe the problem is just with that zone? Maybe it's only triggered by people playing halfling rogues while drinking Dr Pepper with a black and white cat curled around the base of the monitor with Right Said Fred playing on the radio? I dunno. I do know that the game really isn't playable for me at the moment. I'll try back in a few months to see if things improve. Until then, I'll stick to playing EQ2. |

I purchased the collector's edition of this game a long time ago. I had played the beta, so I knew what I was getting into (so to speak), and I thought that the reason for the lag/disconects and overall bad client/server performance, was due to the server running some background debug mode. Game went live, and I was disappointed that everything continued just as before. Loved the game, but had to stop after a few weeks of trying because it just wasn't stable enough. Not a problem though cause I was on the All Access Pass, so I thought of coming back to it at a later time. I never did, and eventually the other games in the AAP also bored me so I cancelled it. A few years later Vanguard goes F2P, and I feel: a few years is enough for them to have fixed whatever issues the game had... What have the devs been doing all these years? Seriously? I still really like the game, but I hate the way they do chunking, the server instabilities, the huge lag spikes... If this game would fix the performance issues, it would be one of the top games out there. Another thing that just took the wind out of me was the P2W cash shop. Gear should never be just bought for cash. Sigh... the game was/is fun, but it is still unplayable. The community though... WOW. Best community ever. It seems that since the game requires so much patience to enjoy that the only people left playing the game are the absolute best gamers in existance. Courteous, helpful, and as far from elitist as you can see. I might continue to play the game, just for the community... and that says TONS about their quality, that i;d be willing to overlook such blatant flaws because of it. |

Originally posted by zarawer PvE = Player VS enviroment, which suggest you as a player is playing against something. If you are playing against something, it would suggest you can win or lose. If you can buy gear that will make it easy to win then it has a popular catchphrase of pay to win or P2W
The question you should be asking instead is... why does that matter?
Take a note from real life. Some people don't like that others can pay to get ahead and others don't care. Don't try and figure out why, because you are one of those average forumgoers where "if I don't feel that way, it's either wrong or weird" |

By no stretch of the imagination can the gear they are are currently selling in the shop be considered p2w. |

Originally posted by quasar941 To me, selling gear with significant stats, let alone yellow gear, is the very definition of p2w. You know, in ancient Egypt. One of the hieroglyphics on the walls of the pyramids actually says 'I am upset as my heir will ruin my kingdom' or something to that affect. This is 5000BC stuff and you know what? Nothing has changed. :P |

I agree with the OP. I want to love this game so badly. I bought a month sub, and have been trying to get back into it. Unfortunately, the game is barely any better than it was at it's botched launch. Lag is at an unplayable level, and chunks are dropping so regularly that you cannot craft, or do anything worthwhile. It's pretty clear that all the fanfare surrounding the FTP "relaunch" was just to squeeze a last few dollars out of it while they can. If there were any way to fix this trainwreck, they surely would have done it before they started re-hyping it, right?

The stats on the gear in the item ship are in no way significant. Even the stuff that you get as a reward for doing normal quests is much better. IN other words, there is no advantage whatsoever to using the item shop gear over the free stuff you get by questing and that's pretty much bottom of the barrel as far as gear goes. |

Originally posted by ironhelix I'm finding it hard to think of another reason myself. It just doesnt make any sense to reintroduce the game, knowing it's broken, and make no attempt to fix it prior to relaunch. I've popped in and out since F2P and genuinely like the game, but I can't play without regular lag pauses and being booted back to character select every 15 minutes or so, and thats not even on the island. I'll bet whoever was responsible for writing that engine's code does not include it on their resume. "Quite impressive credentials Mr. Jones, but what were you doing during this 2002-2007 gap?" "Uhhh, caring for my sick grandmother?" |

I've returned and have experienced a few lag spikes in and around major population centers, but nothing too bad. I haven't yet raided, but have heard from a couple friends that one raid can be completely unplayable and the next time it'll be completely lag free. On a side note... it was very cool to see 450 people online at 4:30pm CST. Even cooler was after 1.5 years of retirement, I still recognized so many familar people. |
