This has to be a joke... someone asking for a key and getting one? Hey guy there are 100 other people who followed the rules and didn't make a thread

Eh you're pointing at the wrong post

If thats what you really think then we already disagree as WoW isn't bad because it's popular.. WoW is bad because it's very boring and it appeals to new MMO players since it is a new genre to them and not because it is good

I hear alot of people that don't play this game giving it a bad rap because its the popular opinion. To be honest its hard to tell if anyone on this site even likes mmo's. Im playing vangaurd right now and personally i think its great.

People say things like "i logged on for a few minuets and realized why it sucks and uninstalled it." Thats just so lame. Mostly because people who havent tried it wont because of the poor reviews from non-players. We need more people in vangaurd, It is only lacking in that aspect. Really though, does anyone on this site even like video games?

One last note, I wish people would quit throwing names around like SOE and sigil. You dont know these people and you certainly have no idea what they are thinking. I truely think people think it makes them sound more informed to use these proper nouns but no one on this site really knows whats going on more than what these companies post.

Stop hating. Spend more time playing and smiling than posting on forums about games you "suppose suck"

If your thinking about joining us, please do i would love to see any of you in this awesome game. (saradon needs tanks) There is no bugs ive run into that MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN GAMEPLAY.

these games will never be perfect. Thats why we have real life. play games for fun.

Haha I like your style, Personally I still want to try vanguard despite all of the negative feedback... I'm not quite sure why but I think it has something to do with most of the well thought out posts on Vanguards good points and those good points are what I am looking for in an MMO.

I am unsure of why your trying to argue about this...

 

I NEVER said LOTRO was cartoony...that comment was about WoW. The fact that the models in LOTRO were less desirable to the other women I have seen leave was my main comment...that and the clothing.

Not liking WoWs graphics has nothing to do with LOTRO no matter how many female players you know left because of the clothing - you making the connection is based on the assumption that not liking cartoony graphics means not liking LOTRO's clothing based on other peoples reactions and I am saying they have nothing to do with each other. You are saying that if they don't like WoW graphics then they won't like LOTRO's.. that IS what you are saying and if you don't think so then you need to reword it because in english that is what you are implying
 
btw In the next book they are making players looks much more customizable.

There is no doubt that Guild Wars has the better female models here anyways...they are just...great to look at...

As to playing to 50...yes, it is possible in LOTRO...again...never said "impossible"...but sure is difficult...AND if going to 50, you better group to get there. Have you taken any character to 50 alone? Probably not...And again, why go through a "storyline" which the LOTRO game is making it's big selling point, to then finally reach a point where you cannot finish it, because you are forced to group.

Again you are making it sound like you have to group all the way to 50 when it is not the case. What is so daunting about grouping once every 10 levels?  No you didn't say impossible, you said you have to grind mobs for low xp returns which you still refuse to acknowledge and is the only reason why I am wasting my time with you. 

To get back on subject, as obviously your trying to stray the conversation away from that. EQ2 has a great duo based system, has a lot of downtime things to do when you get tired of the "grind", and is more involved and mature than many of the other MMO's mentioned.

I am TRYING to stray? You lied about soloing to 50 and are now making it sound more difficult than it is. You played the game to 30, not 50.. what makes you think you have a clue how difficult it is? After 30 is when classes mature and have an even easier time of soloing

You can be as biased as you want but if you're going to argue try not to mistake your bias as fact..please?

 

I think I should add that I don't mean this in any hostile way

I'm not trying to convince them to play LOTRO, just responding to you

LOTRO is anything but cartoony, for some people early complains were that it was trying too hard to be realistic.  And  for every one woman that you say left I can name 2 that still play but in the end these aren't facts but opinons and the facts I am disputing is grouping and being able to solo to 50 which is entirely possible(and most people do).. that is all I am saying

I don't disagree lol

I'm not going to argue about what you said as most of it was opinion...

But all main storylines do not require a group, the finale to each book usually does take a group but it never takes long to find a group

and what does grouping at the finale to a book have anything to do with soloing? Just because you can't finish the book solo means you're forced to kill mobs? Soloing has nothing to do with killing mobs in LOTRO, you can solo quests to 50. I'm not saying you can solo easier than  EQ2 but gimme a break killing mobs to solo is an outright lie
 
I solo'd to 50 and only stopped to do book quests for fun, 40-50 is rough but next book update is fixing that

Last time I was in LOTRO the faction grind rewards were useless crap, PvMP was crap since my spider sucked! Slow moving, low damage and web that holds target for 2 sec or so... what the f***?? I always thought PvMP would be relaxing minigame but instead you have to grind some crap to gain more power and you can't grind it solo. Also crafting is lame and boring grind IMHO.

 

 You are not suppose to grind faction, a few quests net you a rediculous amount of faction points and good xp (and is OPTIONAL).  Yes PvMP is crap because you suck at the spider? The web is a 18 second root after you get traits and no less than 12 seconds before traits.. where did you get 2 seconds? Again, you don't grind PvMP.. if you want to gain more power you go out and kill freeps, take keeps, and do some quests

 

I'm pretty new in the MMORPG world and my first ever MMORPG was SWG and there you didn't have levels just skills that you could change and mix to fit your style after you got bored on your character. Sure there was not many quests, but what makes me hate the linear style is that when you want to change your playing style you have to grind a new character from start and go through all the same quests again. Its doable maybe 2 times and after that its just torture.

 Every MMO other than Tabula Rasa is like this

I also liked to know why are the quests in LOTRO so special to some people? You can't effect on the quest at all? There is no alternative options, you just go to an NPC he says: Hi go kill me some boars and you answer yes my lord, or you end up being delivery boy to some lazy bum.

These types of quests are in every MMO, the difference in LOTRO is that it gives you a lot of XP in return but in the end no one is forcing you to do it, there are plenty of quests NOT like this in LOTRO

I've been playing LOTRO off and on since beta and right now I do find it boring. I don't like the skills as a hunter and while I wear the best gear in the game(BTW crafted gear is actually equal to raid gear in the game!) I don't feel any more powerful than when I didn't have it. 

These are reasons people DO play LOTRO though, it's not about skills and it's not about being powerful. I am just looking for an mmo that actually is about those things

The trial isn't coming for another couple of months? lol what the hell am I doing on this board then >.< there is no way I am waiting that long

codemasters has nothing to do with the success of lotro, turbine created it

The point is they didn’t do anything that effects anyone. The guild in question isn’t in the running for contested mobs and it isn’t a PvP server where another players equipment can help them kill you. 

 

Yes, it was a mistake on SOE’s part, or more accurately the people within SOE who made a decision to do something counter to SOE policy. Yes that doesn’t sit right with some people, but this doesn’t change the fact that it has no direct impact on their play.

 

And yes there certainly are people posting in this thread who clearly do not play EQ2. Daffid001 has a history going back several years dropping into the EQ2 forum to tell people “what a bad game EQ2 is” and getting his/her facts wrong most of the time and clearly hasn’t played EQ2 in over 2 years if ever.

lomiller i do play the game, well did but LoN selling ingame and fans like you eating it up disgusted me so i dropped recently.  Anyway you went and made a generic statement and you just showed not only your ignorance and blind faith for SOE but you showed your facts can not be trusted.

 

Lomiller since your so educated with the game and all its happenings please enlighten everyone on a few topics.

• How many devs just recently left EQ2 dev team?  Oh one was a producer right?  I'll give ya some time to go edit your old threads before ya bad mouth em now that he isn't with SOE. 
• Enlighten us about this guild from test.  We might want to know things like how they had dev members in their guild, a player that abused gm abilities in thier guild, getting walked through raid content to " test " while getting gear from the mobs, Getting bonus xp from the test server to level up faster then live players, getting things easier then live players through glitched quest and the such since they were on test .............. want to keep going you can, we all want to know your astounding knoweledge on this subject.
• Explain to us the new producers " apology " that basically called the people speaking out against this move " bad " people.
• Explain the problems with RoK and why so many people are upset or feel let down by this expansion. 
• Explain just how the test server works so people understand why live players would not want test toons on thier server.
• Explain how test toons could not impact live servers.
• And ill cut off with one last question for ya, explain how you are so sure most people don't play eq2 in this thread claiming they get thier facts wrong and only pointing one person as your source for " most " people.  I personally see only opinions from you, i have never seen a fact from you just biased fluff to back up SOE's image.

SOE screwed up big and got caught.  I can bet this isn't the only time, they just got caught this time.  Now i can tell by your arguments thus far you are in the dark about why this was such a big deal.  So maybe you should do some research on the matter before you declare your solidarity opinion as fact.

I'm still thinking about buying EQ2 so I actually want to know the answers to these questions :p

Loremasters are amazing at 50

Morg you're tip toeing on the troll line.. your comments on vanguard get more and more offensive and rediculous...no more than 30 people play? really? I'm sure someone will believe that

I agree with all of your points and hope that when I play it won't be such a solo game

and also I hope there is no trial island, EQ2's trial island stopped me from buying the game... I couldn't talk in the channels and I couldn't PM anyone so I played solo, never had questions answered and never experienced the main city which led to a boring isolated experience

If they go the same route I don't think people will buy Vanguard when it is all set and done

Thank you I really appreciate it, how do I go about downloading it though? Unfortunately it seems to already be used but it was worth a try thanks anyway :p
