Vanguard: Saga of Heroes also goes F2P

[Messianic]

So wasn't Vanguard McQuaid's brainchild after he left EQ? Sorry, I'm really not that informed.

How good is Vanguard? Is it very similar to EQ? I remember reading someone explaining on these forums that it was released too early and the playerbase burned through the content in a week, so it got boring fast, but other than that it was a great start to a game...

It should have been eq 2, not that pile of garbage they have now.

EQ2 endgame and pvp was damn awesome from DoF until sentinels fate.

WoW fags complained that it took "too long" to level. They reduced XP required by a lot, nerfed most mobs, and made it generally more WoW-like. People burned through to level cap. Fags complained there was nothing to do. People left.

After they fixed most of the bugs, performance issues, and added 1 raid dungeon they essentially abandoned the game. Last time I played was right after the APW came out and there was a huge population surge but the game was just abandoned by Sony because they never had any intention of spending any real time on it after they picked it up from Brad.

Not expecting anything from the "F2P". It's Sony so they're gonna lock out all but a couple races and classes and make it so you can't use raid or dungeon gear unless you actually subscribe making it a waste of time to do anything without a sub anyway.

Oh yeah plus the troll flood all freeload games suffer from.
