I think the point that SOE got involved was Vanguard's downfall... couldn't be letting it get ahead of EQ2, despite it having way more potential.

The game was a complete mess before SOE even got involved. MS dropped it for a reason. I know, people like to think that MS just stomped all over Brads glorious dream out of malice. They saw the game, it was a mess and was not even close to being on track for a release. They ultimately decided that it was worth taking shortcuts, and implementing "mainstream" mmo features to get another publisher on board and actually get the game released.
Yeah, there were a lot of great ideas, but ideas don't mean much when you and your team can't execute them.
