Excited about Brad's new MMO. Vanguard was a blast. I played through beta and until the PvP server merge with Ascendency, which merged with Xanit K'Ven. For whatever reason, it was about a year before the first raid zone was introduced. So many players had reached the level cap by that point and sat around waiting for it, then burned through it quickly and there was nothing left to do at the high end. They made an amazing game but couldn't keep up with the pace at which players burn through content.
This was absolutely the successor to classic Everquest and the only other game I've played that I truly got lost in. I would still be playing today if it had a population.
