Curious as I would love to start a new guild and play again once things become more comfirmed.  What about you?

After confirmed update info and release date, would you come back or try Vanguard

Yes
No
Maybe

I would in a heartbeat. One of the best games I've ever played; however, by time they got it working well enough to enjoy, most of the players had split. Now the pop is so low, it's not much fun.

 

If they can get the asses back in the seats, I'd surely come back.

If the go f2p then maybe I would give it another try otherwise  - no, no matter what the update would promise.

   F2P would be nice but I cant see it happening, a couple more thousand folks and this niche game my go longer then most.  I just want there to be some dev activity in this game for me to come back.

I might if I thought there was a real chance that the population would ever pick up but I really don't see that happening.

Stabilizing the client would have to be priority, followed by new content and a reasonable and believable promise by SOE that more new content will be continusously on the way after that.

All you guys that are certain about the current state of the game should really come back and check it out again. Join one of the guilds that is geared towards alts/new players and I think you would be pleasantly surprised.

Had this problem since launch, defragging your hd, and deleting the cache may help a little.

Nope - not as long as SOE owns the game.

I bin creating characters for the past week and spent hours playing the game (20+) whitout any form of lag both on the US and Euro server.  problem i face in that game is that is so strongly group based and whit its low population grouping is very hard to do (at low lvl)

besites that you could solo a long time plenty of stuff to do but its a slow game, you spent ages leveling up even at low lvl and the starting fun fades fast when most of the combat is pure luck based (dynamic combat rolls) one moment you and your lvl 10 toon kills a lvl 9 opponent whitin a few seconts but a other moment you cant seem to hit it your heals get interupted and you find yourself being slain and warped to a bindstone. 

Even the low lvl content is original designed for small groups or atleast having a healty population walking about doing thier thing reducing the danger in most area's.  since those otehr players aint there it makes the game more slow.  and slow=bad in todays mmo's

Same here. I would have considered another go a while back, but not anymore.

These days, I'm more interested in SW:TOR and GW2. A Vanguard update will be nice for the people who have stuck it out for the past four years, and I hope they get real content for their time and effort. I just won't be playing it myself.

Put down maybe, have to see where SOE is going. The fact that they're finally putting in some development time is a plus. The rest of the "events" for SOE this year are bad. Just don't know if this company is ever going to get it's act together.

When I tried Vanguard for the first time 4 years ago, it was the first MMO that gave me any pause to consider paying a subscription for it. I didn't, largely because of Sony's ineptitude, but I always wondered what I missed out on. The tiny taste I had of it was incredibly interesting, and even today I think it's one of the most innovative MMOs out there (which is kinda sad...). Yes, I would consider playing, depending on what info is released...

I voted yes as I am already subbed to it.

I have an old computer, and I run it fine on high settings , I have the ocasional hitching when chunking etc .

I dont care which company owns what games I play for fun, I see things for what they are, SOE just like EVERY company in the known world is around to make profits, this whole idea of a company making games for gamers is just silly. every company ever  has one idea in mind and that is to make a profit.

at the end of the day I play what I find fun, it really is that simple.

I started an alt on the noob island last night and it was loaded with people to the point where you actually had to wait to get a spawn.

I think there is still alot of people with interest here. This new soe interest could be a good thing.

    Yup there are lag issues, especially when grouping, they would have to put some serious patches into this. If you go into a new area the best thing to do is stop for about 20 seconds that lets your hard drive catch up. This game needs a solid state hd to run well and not enough people are willing to purchase. But the game itself is very good if you can put up with performance issues
