I am hoping to join this chat. The game looks nice, and looks like it offers more than Voyage Century Online.

your not comprehending what I am saying. Usually the ones who beta test a game will more than likely become subscribers and part of the community, your wanting to start a flame fest, well I am not going to feed the trolls.

Qalia here as well, Khal perhaps you should make your way here, although you will be KoS to the guards, will have to get your faction up, but I have no problems grouping nor questing with a group here.

The game is not out so to talk about the player base when it is only beta tester seem very foolish to me.

So you could not get a group to form, so what, only games I know that groups jump out of the wood-work for you is COH/COV, it takes maybe a second to get a group as that game is set-up so that the more people you have the more mobs you have and groups get huge exp over solo because of that one reason.

As far as other games go like WoW I normally only group with people from my guild or people I knew by seeing them around and how they acted before grouping.

If you like to talk about how the group system makes you want to solo, or the group system is useless as people do not use it because of a bug or something like that is one thing.....but to talk about the people playing in the beta make less then zero sense....after all it is only beta testers

Good luck on your solo life and my God Bless you and yours.

The more people I see complaining about Vanguard are those less few that I have to worry about coming in and ruining my game expierence in Vanguard, and less WoW kids are better.

News flash: Gamers dont want depth. They want to game, kill things, look cool, and overall have fun. Why do you think WoW is so succesful? Trust me it's not the depth of the game that counts, it's the 'fun factor'.

it does have some performance issues, but its new, its going to. Thats why there are developers, and players, you see its like a circle of life

developers make game

players beta game

developers tweak game

game comes out

players play game

players tell developers what is happening with game

developers tweak game more

developers add content

players play

and so on and so forth. Vanguard will only get better over time, and as far as I am concerned, Vangaurd has hands down the best online community. Super friendly, helpfull, and just loads of fun to group with.

Im from Holland, Europe and the game is only for sale here now about a week. I got tired of WOW and wanted to do another mmorpg..

i loved wow alot and played it for 2 years so im no hater of that game..just got tired of the same raid..so now Vanguard...Im playing the game with my son and as far as needing a high end pc i can not say that is the case..

One of the 2 pc's is now only a middle class, but it still give nice looking frames...i have 1 account and used the free 10 day for my son, so we play Vanguard on 1 internet account and have only encountered some minor ping problems..

al i have left to say is that 2 years ago when WOW started it had terrible lag and waiting lines...way more than Vanguard now...to say that it was released to soon...i dont know...what i do know is that blizzard had some starting probles as well..and they had so much more resources than Vanguard...

The crafting and total new (for me at least) diplomacy skills are a lot of fun...i say try it out, i give Vanguard a 7 point out of 10...and it wil only get better.

thank you and good gaming to you all.

IMO, any MMO that is out there now, is constantly in Beta, technically it never leaves beta, the reason for this is, due to developers adding coding, could cause existing coding to become unstable, and cause glitches in the game ie:bugs, yes, they test it, and sometimes little things get past them and it goes in, and it may cause graphical bugs, may bug a quest, or just plain crash the game. That is why there is a player base, to let the developers know about issues that arise, so I personally say an MMO never really leaves beta status, and if my money goes to paying those developers wich allows them to make the game better for myself, and the rest of the online community that plays the game, I will continue to give them my $15/month, for a genre of games that really never leave beta status.

If you dont want to play games that has bugs/or is in your words pay to play beta

Then go play a console game, or an offline pc game

Two PC's - installed on both.

newer rig:  Radeon x1950 pro , 2 gig ram

older pc  :  Radeon x800 xt , 1 gig ram

 

Both systems run games like Oblivion , Guild Wars Factions , WoW TBC etc perfect on Max setings. Lower resolution in the case of  the older system.

Computers 4 years old could run WoW, I play Vanguard, and I run just fine, granite I get some graphical lag, but its cause I am in a city that has numerous npc/players in it, other cities that I have been too, I dont get hardly any lag (little) and in the open enviornment, I get anywhere between 35-40 fps.

pent 4 2.66ghz  , 1 gig ram ,  ATI Radeon x1300pro 256mb agp.

Dont know what to tell ya I noticed you didnt put your ram specs down either.????

Per server. Yes

Sorry for the mis information

I am extremely excited about this game. I have played many MMORPG's. I believe that Vanguard is the Next Gen MMO that is going to revolutionize the online gaming world and industry. I feel Vanguard SoH has surpassed all other MMORPG's out there (including WoW) and it will be the one to play!!!!!1111

 A toast to Vanguard SoH and the developers of this game.

P.S. This game I feel is going to be my replacement of the lost SWG.

I am wanting to do a study of what the veterans think the population of the servers are.
