Ok 1st off i played the Beta of this game for abot 3 days, and i had to stop due to lack of time. I only reached level 9 and i still have alot of questions i still need answering :). I'm currently playing WoW, And im losing interest with WoW as he days go by. TBC in my opinion has delivered more of the same, and i find my self only leveling to get a flying mount and raid another instance for months on end. That being said my interest of Vangaurd is growing every secound i spend in WoW. I've tried to follow the game since the begining of 2004. But as i said before i have a number of questions i would like answering. 1. The most important question i need answering is: The Servers in Vanguard, Will there be EU Servers? Or are they all going to be a Mix of EU / US? 2. PvP - As i only ever played up till lvl 9 i didnt encounter any, My question is there any? Open PvP? Duels? Or only PvP VS different contenants? 3. I've played other MMOs like FFXI, EQ2 and so on. And in them games you usaly are fourced to group up to level (FFXI more so). Im a fan of Grouping to level but theres some times where i want to log on and level on my own for an hour or so without being tied to a group. My question is, Is it possible for me to group when i want and level alone when i want? Also what is the LFG system like? 4. Classes, Are the classes balanced? what would you recormend for someone that likes to play the heavy hiting melee. 5. The level cap is set at 50 right? How long does it take to reach this goal? I'm hoping it will take awhile, Not something mind numbing like Lineage 2. I had a few more questions but i forgot them, might pop back if i remeber them. Thanks.

For some content you absolutely need to group. LFG: you can shout in the chat and add an LFG flag to your name, its pretty standard. The game is designed in a way to encourage grouping. All classes are depending on each other to be efficient. 4. they are still balancing the classes. If you like offensive melee, Rogue and Monk are nice classes. 5. yes lvl cap is 50 for now. I guess it can take you a few months to reach this, depends on how much you play.

Thanks for the reply mate, some other questions poped up while i was reading your reply. 1. Why so few EU servers? Are they not expection a big EU turn out at launch? Or are the servers capable of holding alot of players that there isnt simply a need for more? Or can EU players play on US servers and they think that all EU players will roll on the US ones? Also what will all the EU players be rolling on if this is true? Eu or Us servers? 2. What are the effects of dieing in PvP? EXP lose? Items drop? Or nothing like WoW? Thanks again. :D Current MMO: Nothing Waiting For: FireFall, GW2

I'm from the UK, and later today, I'll be rolling my first toon on the EU PVE server. I'd expect most EU players to be doing the same thing, considering the network lag I suffered during BETA 5.

Thanks guys, But again i have yet another Question! (Dont hurt me) If i were to buy and download the game through Sony or Direct2Drive and use that CD-Key, will i still have the option to roll on a EU server or is that CD-Key fixed to the US servers like some games. Im thinking that its prolly the same as EQ2 were you pick which version you want when you log on. Thanks. Current MMO: Nothing Waiting For: FireFall, GW2

Don't know for CERTAIN, but I'd guess its like EQ2 where your choice of license agreement determines what servers you have access to.

Also, Direct2Drive is only availiable for US & Canada. I pre-ordered my game from Sony Station (availible for EU ppl), and they flagged my account ready for Vanguard. They do not provide keys of any sort, either. Once purchased, your account is already up and running. Just remember to login to the game with the same Account which you made your purchase with. I might add, if you decide to buy the game from Sony, I'd reccommend d/l'ing the game from Fileplanet (same client) in one go. Sony's bandwidth is terrible!

And later you can also move your toon form one server to other if you want, for free. The devs said they have several servers ready to plug in if there is a need.

I actually got Vanguard from D2D but I have used dlgamer many times and they are a very efficient and friendly operation.
