The way I see it - it's been done. At the time EQ came out, there really wasn't much like it. Now you can take your pick between several games that all pretty much offer the same thing.

I think it would be cool if somebody put less emphasis on the graphics and more on optimization. This means more content, more options, and intuitive programming for a game that's always exciting. The graphics don't have to be cutting edge, just "decent." The content keeps players engaged. I'd rather have a new dungeon every month instead of the best possible graphics and the latest technology in boob sway.

Pretty much since the marriage of the gaming world and the cinematic world, no one cares about content, game-play, features, etc. Its just about what looks the flashiest and sucks the most these days apparently.

No joke, graphics completely ruined video games. Back in the day games actually had to be clever and engaging to sell at all, because they weren't much fun to look at. Nowadays its way too easy to just get a graphics design team to slap a spiffy looking world over a thoughtless and shoddy game design, and most folks cant tell the difference. So Call of Duty goes platinum again.

I think what's disappointed me the most in this generation of video games is the decline of the soundtrack. Outside of Bethesda games there's just not a lot of important video game music anymore. Someone please give Nobuo Uematsu a job

I would pay 45 bucks a month to play Vanguard with a good subscription base...lack of population is killing the best mmo since EQ1. Had a rocky start but its solid now.

Definitely the best MMO since EQ1, Definitely had a rocky start and it definitely is solid now. They released a pretty big update with a ton of intriguing raid content that makes me tempted to re-sub and check what its about. Has Epic weapons for each class, flying mounts are finally fully integrated but most importantly "chunking" has been made way more efficient so you barely notice zoning in it. Was watching a friend play the other day and he is in a top tier guild and it looked pretty bad ass.

The flip side to that is that if he wants to level an alt he has to hope that some of his guildies have an alt around the same level.

VG was a blast, but the rampant duping killed the crap out of that game. It was completely out of control within the first week. I still can't believe they didn't rollback and do a banfest.

I actually had a lot of fun in vanilla EQ2, but I cannot recommended the current iteration.

If you are of the Soloing persuasion subbing to EQ1 and tearing things up with you and your merc can be cool for a while.

Vanguard is good now? Like for real?

Like... say the last time I played was like a year after release...

It's better now?

Don't tell me that.

Damnit. I'll have to play if it's better.

Damn.

hahaha thats what I said, I played it from release until about a year after, then quit and came back for a couple months then quit again cause it was still fucked. Nowadays, right before it is about to die, its absolutely fucking perfect!

A game map that is designed to house 2000 players online at a time, that only has about 400-800 is an empty world with no future. But POTA is apparently one of the most impressive raid scenes in MMO's ever made so might be worth a play through. lvl cap is 55 now too.

Son of a bitch! :P

Classic Daoc emu is just as fun as p99 if you like pvp.
