Great read. Graphically , I found the game cluttered. The atmosphere of the game as well was just not present either.

Again good review 

All have valid points, but the difference is, Vanguard has pulled itself out of the gutter, and becoming a cult classic.

I really can't see AoC becoming anything like that specially being made for the 360. It is a massive commercial pile that a massive commercial  audience wants, blood boobs and easy mode game play.

Think people want that style of graphics but in a open world setting , Vanguard gives that to them... After playing AoC and being dossapointed with the instancing, I had an urge to play Vanguard, simply because of the graphics in AoC..

Saedron ( i think i'm spelling it right) was at medium capacity last night

Another website who has never reviewed any other mmo's and is also hosted in Canada. Go figure.

Just got to suck it up and move on, I personally think the review was spot on.

Game that we flamed and burned and turned to cinders !

 

So hurry up and join this awesome guild on Halgar server

http://www.mmorpg.com/guilds.cfm/guild/67

 

Play , discuss , fanboi and naysay with crew that is obsessed with MMOs just like you are

It is truly Ironic ,that this is happening , how many bans from mmorpg.com for this game ? I lost count , and yet here I am playing VG lol.

Can some one smack me

What is the point to that press release ? To insure the buddy key holders they are screwed for even longer.

I also read into that statement a little and it would seem they don't have the proper server architecture to handle  the load. More funcom talks the more they look like noob developers, I am really wondering if Brad Mcquaid is not working for them ....

Welcome to Lord of the rings Online

One of these images is Vanguard....

LotrO is not "next gen" graphically, but some the games mechanics, epic story quests, community and AAA developing team make up for that small 1% of what a game is about. 1% graphics and 99% content

x-play will be doing a WAR preview tomorrow on G4tv ? Doesn't get much hypier then that ...

Awe I think it's a great PC game.  I think it's one of the best niche games around for those that enjoy it.  Can't wait for it to get finished.

There is truth in this, but as an mmorpg , the game fails .

This simply isnt true at all ... LotR had exactly the same problems you and others complain about when talking about AoC right now.

Start was polished but after that ...

• It was a pain to level when you got above 38 since they didnt't had enough quests ready
• Most high level quests where labeled wrong
• Itemization was (and still is) poor
• It had a meaningless Tradeskill system
• No housing in
• I could go on ...

Did I enjoyed it ... yes and I enjoy AoC

One the LotrO box @ launch

1. Adventure through 50 level with thousands of character customizations possibilities = in the game @ launch

2. Explore 350 Authentic Land marksin over 50 million meters of Middle Earth = in the game@ launch

3.Choose from 4 races, 7 classes, 10 professions and 7 vocations = in the game @ launch

4.interact with over 2,200 Quest givers and battle 2,500 monsters = in the game @ launch

5.manage over 1000 titles, skills and traits: over 10,000 unique Items = in game @ launch

6.Use in-game mail,guild management tools, intergrated vioce chat, instant messaging, and moreto connect to other gamers = in game @ launch

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Housing was created for the community who really wanted it in the game. Turbine had no plans for housing at launch and by the 3rd update , we had housing.

High level quests labeled wrong ? examples ?

Itemization is your opinion .

"A meaningless trade skill system " really, again meaningless , meaning your opinion, not fact.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turbine has proven they can learn to fulfill what the community desires with massive updated to how the Barber system, as well as the costume system,  no other game developer has ever come close to the massive work that Turbine does with the community to make a game great and playable for "everyone"

I like Fantasy and look forward to seeing new developers push the envelop more.

wow only 1 battle siege cam out and already people are shouting doomsday

I  personally would give them a few months and then comment

 

The devs are working , they were also very much interetsed in how it would turn out

 

Funcom has had 5 years to get it right. Times up imo.

Oh yeah Avery, because Roma Victor is the best thing out there. LOL.

It's a shame too, we need a good Rome-themed MMO.

 

still boils down to 13 days of game experience. Still dont think that is enough for an mmo full review. That goes for positive or negative ones. That guys was also playing about 4 other games to review same time.

Yup I agree there. Same as reviewers not getting past 40 and giving it a 9/10.

  Like freaking X-Play.
