______________________

The current direction most MMOs are taking is cloning World of Warcraft. While this is to be expected due to its huge success we are left to wonder if that is what we consumers really want. I personally like WoW, but I'd much rather play a game that is a bit harder, doesn't allow so many instant traveling options and is as a whole more hardcore. I'm absolutely positive that I'm not the only one who harbors such feelings, because Sigil sure as hell wouldn't create a game like that just for me.

By instant travel you confusing WoW with EQ2, that game has it all over the place.

Sadly Vanguard goes down to one of the buggiest retail games i have ever tried. The review score should be according to current state, not how it might become. Misleading for potintial buyers.

The problem with bugs is in there and it is according to current state therefore your statement is invalid.

It is only misleading if it is not mentioned, and it clearly is in the conclusion. If people can read it is not misleading.

I was thinking of picking this up. But I got bored with EQ2 pretty fast, even when raiding. I have rebought the game several times from selling my accounts, to rebuying the game, all due to bordom. Same goes for WoW. Right now I'm playing EVE Online, have for a few years, never gets boring to me.

I decided to hold off on Vangaurd and wait for Stargate Worlds, and Star Trek online.

Sigil are the team that worked on the ORIGINAL everquest 1. They took the things that made everquest 1 *Good* , combined it with a lot of user friendly and fun innovations best executed by WoW, and were forced to rush it out before it was ready. All in all, it's a damn amazing release for such a rushed title, thus far at least. The game is hard. Plus : there's a Free for All PVP server, which i would kill for, in WoW

I'm going to play it off and on for a while, and hope they work out the multitude of very minor bugs there are. It's fully worth looking into once they get a few patches under their belt.
