    But of course you wont listen to that, so yeah, the game can be found for $4 or so on Ebay usually, 30 days of play time is included, and make sure to budget for cigarettes and beer...

     

    As far as classes go, I have no idea what you will like.  I played a Shadowpriest and a Hunter in WoW, and I really enjoy the Sorcerer class in VG.  Just play a class up to lvl 6 or something, and see if you like it.

     

     

     

     

    Don't drink, don't smoke (what do you do) LOL anyway, it was a little financial a little frankly boredom with EQ2 ...  ya i figure i'm pretty much an altaholic so ya i will try a bunch of classes.

     

    Also, i havent been able to find anything on the races (saw the classes thing) just nothing on races.

    If you are an alt-aholic, VG is perfect for you ! I myself have never been one, but in Vanguard i can't stop making alts !
     

     

    There are two reasons for this:

    1. Content - The amount of content from level 10-40 is impossible to describe in words. For example, 20-30 there are no less than 4 areas i can quest to get very good rewards, and several dungeons as well. In fact from 10-20 there are probably 10-15 dungeon areas you can explore and quest in. Its just incredible how much content there is in Vanguard, more than any MMO i have played eq2 / wow / swg / lotro / aoc.

    2. Classes - Phenomenal I play Bard / Bloodmage / Disciple  ( so far ) and there are many more i wish to try out, great thing is you can make an alt and not only see a new class but see new parts of the world as well....

     

    I am on Seradon ( allegria / Mirela / Josephine ) look me up !

• • Population Increasing or Decreasing?

  • I came back to vanguard in February of this year. At the time the population was growing pretty steadily. When AOC launched it was a bit of a ghost town ( seradon server ) but now its back up to and perhaps even more populated than before AOC...

• • The game is better, the community is still somewhat questionable...

    I have been playing VG since i got bored with the 'new VG' AoC (free month from SoE and all) a couple weeks ago.  I have to say, SoE has fixed up the game pretty nice.  From big things like the rifts to little things like racial coins and URT missions not to mention cleaning up the stability of the game.  It is still a bit of a clunker in terms of performing on par with its graphical level (not near as bad as it was though).  All in all the game is quit worthy of a sub now, fun, and with the coming model/animation upgrades I think possibly quite good.
    
     
    
    One thing though that is still a big issue, perhaps even a bigger issue than before, is the community in game.  So far I have seen allot of the same asshat community stuff that ultimately was the last straw for me back around launch.  Of course, back then it was the dumbass fanboys flaming away on anyone who mentioned the crashing or flaws that are now so obvious.  Now it is a little of that plus a bit of an elitist attitude some of the 'vets' heap on new or returning people.  I suppose that is a bit natural in a game of any age, and part of why I never go back to games like this - but in VG with the very low pops (even with the bump from the free welcome back time from SoE) it makes getting groups and such a real pain.  People regularly jump down the throats of people asking very normal questions, or simply offer little to no help.  People still flame away at others for expressing opinions on the game and such.  And it seems that. all in all, there is a very elitist and closed community in VG.
    
     
    
    Based on the couple weeks I have played I would sub to the game - if for no other reason than AoC is crap, LotRO is vanilla and boring, and there is not much out there that isn't old or something I already gave up on long ago.  VG is a good game now although it still has some issues - the one redeeming aspect is that it is a deep game in a genre run amuck with shallow games.  But the real obstacle I have to the sub now is the community - it is just a gruff and somewhat unwelcoming bunch.  Yes, you can join a guild and such but aside from not being a joiner why should you have to join a guild just to get courteous or friendly treatment in a game, let alone find groups and all that.  I am not trying to flame the VG players here, or anywhere, just saying that for a game that I would think would be desperate to get some new blood they sure are less than welcoming from what I have seen.
    
    
    P.S.  For the record - I am saying good job to SoE.  I think more could have been done in the year+ since launch but what they have done is fix the worst issues and get a good jump on the rest.  The list of things that make SoE suck is still long, but the list of things they deserve positive credit for just got a new entry.
     

    
     

    Curious what server you are on. I am on Seradon and the community is great. With the influx of AOC refuguees and free month it has been a bit more spiney but overall one of the best in any MMO i have played.

    I for one am very glad i returned. 

    Especially looking forward to the new character models !!!!
