Freeloading mooches are the scourge of the gaming community. |
Ok all of you old vets that are tired of all the crap. It's time to knock off the rust and pull out your sharpening stones to sharpen your weapons. Telon is being reborn. Stop with your wait and see attitude and make it happen. The game is vastly improved . New content has been added and a new dev team that is being fully supported is now on board. Come join a world that beckons you to explore and get lost in adventure. A Call to arms has raised. Now it's up to all of us to answer! |

More updates planned for December, including giving Randolph his winter flight back for the season.

Vangaurd is not vastly improved. I went back the week it went free to play and I will say this the lag that we had durring launch is still there. yes they had some bug fixing, they are suposed to get new content, but vastly improved no its not. It is what it always will be a niche game that could have been so much more, mostly forgotten but all but a few.

Originally posted by erictlewis You must have logged into the wrong game bro, the lag we had at launch has been long gone for years, the game is indeed improved a LOT and the new content should be rolling in now that the dev team has SOE support.

Silius killed this game back in 2008 with his crap'tastic "vision', or lack there off. He stripped VG of everything fun, unique and cool and replaced it with his ideal game - viewed through WoW' envy specticles. Now the game is just testicles.

Looking forward to the new content update. I might come back and give it another try. Still one of the best games I have ever played.

I logged in tonight after having been away for some time. There were a lot of people on, and someone said VG is now on Steam, which ofc would explain the pop rise. Haven't seen this many people running around ever, I think. I played for a while before f2p (dismal pop, hardly anyone on at any time), right around the f2p relaunch (noticable increase in pop and then decline again). Still, the game is pretty unpolished, there are crashes, some lag, some annoying bugs, and so on. But it's still unrivalled when it comes to sheer atmosphere and the magic sense of being in an actual world. Now that SOE is actually giving it the attention it deserves, things can only get better. Now, if they only got rid of tab-target combat, re-wrote all the "kill ten X" quests and started a PvP server, I'd sub in an instant! :D

Gameplay is way too clunky for me, unfortunately.

I recently came back and started playing again, been having a good time grouping in Dargun's Tomb with my friends. I haven't played since the game release, a ton has improved since the time when I was the first 50 disciple in the game. It's interesting to see that some people who were on my friends list are still logging into the game, 5 years later. I will say the game still has some buggy issues, but the GM's respond within minutes so far. Vanguard always has had the best world of any game I've played, Darkfall being #2, but the class system in Vanguard makes it the most fun PvE game I've ever played. You can see what Brad McQuaid has done in Vanguard and how closely it resembles Everquest. As a free to play game, I wouldn't rate it too high. It's certainly not bad as a f2p, but there are restrictions still. As a pay to play game, it's better than any other PvE game out there right now. Sennheiser |

Sorry but this game is still nothing but a hot mess. I played it for several months back on initial release and then I played again when it re-launched as Freemium.
The lag made it completely unplayable for 3 days and I gave up for the second and last time on this game. |

Originally posted by keitholi That's unfortunate, after they fixed the lag from launch the game ran beautifully for years, it was just pretty empty and had no support. Then when F2P happened and we got all this new support, they broke something and re-introduced a ton of the lag again just as people were checking the game out. It was very unfortunate timing. The new dev team has been hard at work though, the lag issues have pretty much been remedied again by this point. The game is running smoothly, the population is growing significantly (I've seen a lot of new folks running about), and we just got a big content patch last week that we've been waiting for for a long time. Things are looking very promising. |

Also if your playing one slower machine designed with WoW in mind. This game is still very Demanding and takes a decent computer to run. Overall though the game seems to be running great. No lag here and I play on a ASUS gaming laptop. |

There is still lag but you will not see it till you reach a much higher level and it is NOTHING like it was at the F2P launch. That was fixed and the game runs fine 99% of the time. I enjoy the game (and the crafting and Diplo mini systems as well) you should give it a shot if you are into open world games and can cope with everything not being on rails.
