Oh by the way, join Xeth server! It's the best option.

Im back as well. Nothing else is worth playing atm.

nice to see people giving the game another try.  i just wish more of the pvp types would resub but its just too unbalanced atm.  either way give it a try i know you can copy on to the pvp server. 

This game is even easier than WoW.. why would you play it? 

Its about as easy as wow, all mmos are now. The difference is the community is x234324 more fun and helpful, crafting is top notch, world is HHUUGGEEE and immersive, teamplay is important and exciting. Its just a solid game now.

Welcome (back) to the last MMO with some depth and where you dont get ten levels in your lunch break.

Enjoy your stay.

Thinking I'm going to have to re-sub after the weekend. It's true what people say that there's just not much else that's close to VG in potential and depth. Just a shame SOE don't seem to agree.

i actually never played Vanguard and going to give it a shot since I am not playing nothing at the moment and the game looks good. I guess I passed this game because of WoW and didnt have more time to play another game lol. I will have the game next week. And of course, any server recommendation? I am in USA, Eastern time :)

soo true i played my cousins WoW account a lvl 31 twinked out hunter yesterday.  i figured id lvl him up and do some quest.  well the grind was a joke i had him the next lvl in less than an hour.  i had more trouble find a grind place than getting 32.

ill admit though the new expansion doesnt look too bad.

It says that the PvP server is FFA, does that mean everyone can attack everyone, or is it the Evil side versus the good side?

You can attack everyone. If you can find someone that is... that server has a lot of hate at it right now.

I have been searching around and it seems that Seradon is a popular server. I am expecting to get the game on Monday.

likewise, only that i have tried other games than wow. i refuse to go back to wow after relapsing on it four times in the past. forget it. i've tried warhammer: age of reckoning. it was okay for about 3 weeks. the open rvr server i was on became dead. the server was praag.

i'm craving some worthwhile pvp on a pvp server where pvp actually happens. none of this retreating garbage when an opposing player is either of equal lever, a level or two above, or below, or where the pvp is passive. i hated that about server i was with wow.

as for my time zone, it varies on either a daily or weekly basis. just goes with what i do for a living. when i'm home, i'm on mountain-standard time (mst).

so, which u.s. pvp server would you people recommend?

check the offical vanguard site, I think I read about PvP servers on the forums but don't remember: http://vanguard.station.sony.com/

Vanguard has made vast improvements. I was in beta and refused to sub at launch because I saw all the trouble they were heading for by releasing too soon. I gave it a year and came back. Graphics are top notch, quests are balanced (i.e. reward = risk), and the community, while small, is active.  Crafting is the second best I've seen (UO still reigns). Combat is engaging and the different classes work well together. As far as not feeling like your the only one playing, do a quick search on the socials tab and go where the people are. I've found that by going to the region where most people your level are playing, its easy to find a group.

Welcome to Vanguard! Tell your friends!

just after posting, i googled this game, went to the link you've posted, and almost lost myself in the blitz of clicking. i am definitely leaning heavily on trying this game out. for the last couple of weeks, this game has come up in other games' forums. after reading all those repsonses, i figured i'd better give this game a shot. the only reason i didn't back when it came out, was because of my old machine. it was sub-par and couldn't handle the recommended specs. i've got a much better laptop now. it can play any game on maxed out settings that's currently out and coming out sooner, or later.

Don't forget you have no need of buying a box anymore. After your trial at Island of Dawn just "upgrade" your account.  You will then be charged for a monthly fee in your card.

I just resubbed after having last tried it in Dec 07. What a vast improvement. I am very glad I returned. The Isle is also a great way to get people introduced (or reintroduced) to the game. I have heard mixed reviews (mostly bad) on the pvp servers only because people cry about balancing and say the game isn't really made for it. Having never played the Vanguard pvp, I have no idea what i am talking about. I only know that I really enjoy the pve side.

I am a pvp player but havent tried the pvp server(s). So let me know how it goes. I am very interested to hear about your experiences. I just don't have enough time in a week to roll various characters on different types of servers.
