The VGhaters are worse than the Vanbois these days ::::12::. This game is a half year from being launched. Nothing you say, nor SoE's co-publishing (read not touching gameplay) is going hurt or otherwise propell this game into greatness. A bunch of spiteful MMORPG wannabe know-it-alls. If you even had half the amount of wit that it takes to spew out unsubstianted numbers and doomsday prophecies, you would realize the VG development team has quite the amount of talent, time and dedication, and just pure interest in their game and subsequent community that is unmatched in the MMORPG space. You would be a fool to think the sums wouldn't add up to something more than an average game.

Summary:

1. es tee ef u, and let the gameplay do the talking

2. continue the nonsensical bashing and end up looking like a dolt when the game becomes the next best thing to lesbian pr0n

And when the hype isn't proportional to the game at release, and when SOE begins taking on more and more responsibilities, remember this post you made...

SOE CAN'T take a more active role since they DON'T own even the tiniest share in the game. They have no more control over Vanguard than they have over Gods and Heros. And when it comes to operating servers, SOE does a great job. My source says the game is much more responsive and has much less latency on the SOE server than it did on the MS server. So the game is already better for having made the move from MS to SOE as publisher.

Yeah right. Just wait and watch. There will be either a complete buyout or a merger. Mark my words. If I am proven wrong in a year or so after Vanguard's release, I'll gladly admit it...

Actually it's more of a legal thing...they actually can't by contract unless Sigil sells the rights, and I don't think they would have gone to the extent of buying the back just to turn around and sell them again =P

SWG never been a really good game btw.

First of all, I tend to agree with Echobe.  While I do not want to see it happen, and while I would love it if Vanguard becomes the game many of us have been waiting for since November 15th 2005, I am not naive enough to let my hope overwhelm my common sense and doubt.

Second, I'm not sure if you ever played SWG or not, but there was a quality to the game that hasn't been matched by anything else I've played.  I don't know exactly how to quantify it, but its the sort of quality that the people who enjoy playing a game like WoW could never really understand.

I have played SWG since beta 3.  I still have my account but play VERY rarely.  Sure, some stuff were good, but all around, it was an empty game.  And don't tell me "SWG allowed you to make your own content", cause i know all of that...

/waits for vanguard
BTW, i'm playing EQ1 progression server.  The true original game that started it all.  And yes, i did play UO (beta 3 and a couple months after that).

I dont really know how to respond to that, other than to say that I played SWG for almost 18 months, and I can't ever remember logging in and feeling like I had nothing to do.  Since then I have played CoH/CoV,  EQ2, DAoC, AO, MxO, and more, and cannot say the same, most of the time feeling bored within a few weeks.

I think what SWG really had going for it was replayability.  Anytime I tried a new profession out, I felt like I was really doing different things to earn the skills.  But since it was still my character and not some new toon I made specifically to be that proffesion, I also felt like I was in control, and could choose the destiny of my character, instead of being led around like a child being told where to go and what to do. 

I am very much hoping that Vanguard will come close to recreating this experience with their open sandbox style.  Time will tell.

SOE will own the whole thing lock, stock, and barrel within two years when Brad does the same thing he did last time, wander off to start a new game. But who cares this time? There are like 5 or 6 decent games coming out and it's not like we only have EQ1 like last time (till DAOC came out that is).

If you have any questions please ask. I have moved on to WoW from eq and no longer have any desire to play a dead game. Thank you. (posted by another selling his account in EQ1)

So, why don't you fill us in on what Brad did the last time? Because from what you are saying, I am fairly sure you don't have a clue what went down with Everquest.

LOL thanks.

Just giving him a hard time really, I can feel for the people who lost a game that was dear to them.  On the other hand, at some point you've gotta move on and not try to piss in everybody else's cheerios.
