I haven't tried Vanguard yet but I might give it a go if they can:

Fix the performance
Offer a free trial
Shrink the client (no way I am downloading 17GB for a game)

Don't know if those things are even possible but without them i'm not even going to look at VG.

No you didn't.  All you did was post a marketing figure from the wrong year and with no reference.

Why don't you do that and save me some time. With two corroborating articles from two reputable news sources, I see no reason doubt they are inaccurate.

I already did.

One of your 'corroborating' sources has already been shown to be inaccurate.  The EA accounts have to be accurate due to stock market regulations and federal law.

No, reading problem?  Is marketing the only aspect?  In fact, one of the articles clearly states that they created an online division and Sims community does it not?  Don't you think that cost some money?

So a company that spent $431 million in total on marketing and sales in 2006, including all their console titles, non-mmorpg titles etc spent $275 million in marketing on one title alone?

Yeah, ok.

Some people will be dumb enough to buy it.

Just post the details here.  I'm sure the more techie residents of MMORPG.com can get you sorted.

i use:

www.dabs.com
www.ebuyer.co.uk
www.overclockers.co.uk

They're all pretty good for prices and reliability.

sorry, i don't have msn or a hotmail address.

What do you have at the moment?

wow, quick reply, thanks

I might give this another try then.

Hi,

I tried this game a while ago and one of the things that really attracted me was the bounty hunter missions where you got to hunt other players.  Do you guys know if these things are still in game and what the current implementation is like?

Similar thread came up yesterday:

http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/125556

I haven't had any warnings about it when browsing and the help.exe isn't on my system.  I use firefox btw.

If a free trial asks me for a credit card I just close it down and forget about it.

Still a really unfortunate choice of name though.

Mine is:

Windows XP
AMD X2 4400 - 2.2GHz
1GB RAM in single channel mode (don't ask, mobo problems)
Nvidia 6600GT 128MB
Pipex ADSL 8MB (averaging about 3.5)
1280 x 1024 res


With the latest patch I get a fairly consistent 25 - 35fps on the ground with 4xAA and a lot of the eye candy on.  In the air it varies from 25fps (in battle) to 80fps (just flying along with not much on the screen).

GW is a fun game (not an MMO though ) but it's nowhere near the best.  I found it to be a decent enough game to pick up and play every once in a while but it's just too shallow and one-dimensional to hold my interest for any real length of time.

decreased unless they came out with a miracle patch in the past week.

The newest patch they have out really helps performance.
