Default Vanguard

Any former Vanguard folks out there? I'd list a server ...but, well, if you played Vanguard you know how silly that would be.

Tralyan here. Warrior. Sad to see it go away. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Funny how things get shut down, but SOE in the same breath won't let anyone bring a Vanguard emu up.

I never played it, took a judgement call from the forums shortly after SOE took it over and there wasn't a positive comment to be found :/

i'm not sure they said they wouldn't "allow" it. They said they wouldn't share any code...which is the exact same thing they say for EQ.

if players did it entirely on their own I would think SOE would respond the same way it does to EQ emus.

I played it for a bit. It had potential but lacked the resources to see it through. I heard later on it was a decent game but by then the population had dried up.

Right. That seems to be the consensus. I'm convinced that if it had the population required for even a semi-healthy MMO, we would have seen a dynamic not before seen since the olden days of EQ. That, of course, would have only been possible if it was given the resources it needed to succeed after it's horrible launch.

Damn shame.

Man, it's like any other niche MMO out there. You got the die hard fans that will sit and squash the faces of anyone cheeky enough to insult their game, and those who played it for a bit, couldn't look past the plethora of bugs (understandably), and believe it to be the biggest mistake since cats on the moon. So I'm assuming your foray into the forums was full of the die hards lamenting the bugs.

I'm a face squasher. Incredible amount of potential, wasn't given the love it deserved, so it wasted away. But yeah, something about the engine it's on prevents them from letting us run an emu. Or something. I dunno. Hard to read the forums through the tears.

Wah.

Yup

I know very little about Vanguard but I do know some dudes are certainly trying to make an emu

I was aware of this project - even signed up to help with the data collecting, though I've been too busy looking up cat pictures to actually be of any use.

Each time I've entered those forums it doesn't look too busy - nothing like I see here at P99. Makes me wonder if it'll ever get off the ground, and that makes me sad.
