Not enough people to play and insanely uber computer required

I was really excited about this game and even played it in beta. Having played WoW, SWG and DDO, I have to say this is probably a pass. I got my character to level 33 and though it can be enjoyable at some points you need a group and it is difficult to find people. I am on one of the most popular servers.The game also requires _the_ latest hardware to play. I thought I had a pretty uber computer, but the performance is terrible even on the "balanced" setting. I basically had to set it to triangles and squares in some situations...the trees looked like dangling cocoa puffs.One thing I did learn from this is after they charge your credit card, cancel the game (any game) so when the game time expires you know you are renewing and charging your card. I got stuck with more months than I am interested in. All these games work this way.I enjoyed WoW alot more, but this was probably better than DDO

The game aas a whole was okay. However there were many aspects of the game that just drove me crazy. Like how hard it is to target a mob. Little things like that that I know can be done better, since I have played MMORPG's for 10 years now. The thing that aggravated me the most was that about level 8 you are forced into playing with others. If you keep an odd schedule or are simply the kind that likes to grind out levels on your own then this is not the game for you.

Love it

I got this a little after it came out via SOE's store, downloading took like, 2 days on DSL, but afterwards, I was thrilled! People have to remember, this game has been in the works for a while. It is not 100% finished, but it's a totally online game, so I don't think it ever will be. It'll update as it's player base changes and grows, and new ideas form.

I've been playing Lineage2 for 3 years, as Malorie on Gustin. Then, all NCSoft games went Vista non-compatable. I'm happy to say that Vanguard is Vista compatable, although the game guide is ancient, 3 months after the launch. So far, some of the character actions are a little slow for my taste, but at least it works!! Mal lives!!

This game is expansive and takes a lot longer to advance. The instant-gratification crowd that has developed thanks to WoW will not like it. In WoW you can quickly level then spend the rest of your life grinding instances over and over in order to get that precious drop.

All MMOs are grinds - it just depends on how you want to do it.

This game has bugs, performance issues, and now is struggling to stay afloat. However, I thoroughly enjoy it and am willing to live with the flaws in order to see what it can become.

In many ways it is a lot like EQ - but you would do best to bring along some friends as the populations are beginning to dwindle a bit.

Vanguard - Half EQ1...the rest fun fun fun

After spending the last three weeks playing Vanguard, I am finding that there is tremendous challenge....solo AND group content....excellent video and sound... There are some things I would add or change... but for only being out a month, at this time, i think this game is phenomenal. I'm thoroughly hooked.

Awful, awful game

Besides having a decent graphically enhanced environment (which by the way completely hogs all of your systems memory, leaving your gameplay experience more or less laggy at times) this game disappointed me on many levels.

-Classes no more "advanced" than any other MMORPG. I was told this was a "second generation" of MMO, and that combat would be far more difficult to master. It was the same set-up as every other MMO I've played.

-Horribly buggy, holes in zone floors that make you stuck (which there is a /stuck command, which sends you to a set point, BUT)

-Terrible in-game support: My friend was banned for using the /stuck command to get out of a buggy zone spot. GM claimed he was "manipulating the game" and creating an unfair advantage for using it. A LIFETIME ban. For a command the game creators created. Tried to appeal, with no such luck. Customer support and game masters complete idiots.

Honestly, if you are looking for something that is unlike the norm, I'm still yet to find it. All I know is that this game is pitiful, and I would gladly play something "first generation" like World of Warcraft before considering re-activating my account- ever.

Crap!

I bought this game with great hopes and I was greatly disappointed. I'll be short here and say that: 1) I felt like I was playing a game made for a 12-year old. 2) I had to deal with multiple game-killing bugs. But the worst was dealing with SONY Online Entertainment's (SOE) billing department. I hate recurring billing, so I used SOE game cards. I would enter a card's code but my account was never credited. After hassling with SOE's billing department (for God knows how long!) to the point where I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau, they finally fixed my account's problems. To SOE's credit, they were actually quite apologetic about the mix-up but by that time it was too little too late. I ended up giving the game away to a friend along with two unused SOE game cards. To this day, he has never used it.

The first copy I received the CD key was already being used, so I had to send it back for another. The game still has a few bugs, which can be annoying, but its still playable. Overall I was not impressed and I did not want to continue to play after the first free month.
