I'm looking forward to WAR, except the whole culling of a ton of content and shit seems pretty lame. :/

As I understand it Warhammer has been severely emasculated which does not bode well for its subsequent development. Some people are still looking forward to Darkfall but inevitably the anticipation will outdo the actuality.

In the meantime it may be worth checking out Vanguard again as the performance issues have been adddressed to the degree that it is actually playable now. I'm getting roughly the same framerates as I do in EQ2. They are just about to release another "Return to...." program for it AND the WoWers have lost interest and left......RESULT!

EQ2 or Vanguard ... that's the only choice for the next years (forget AoC, they want to make it run on the X-Box next year -> nail in the coffin).

This may or may not be a necropost but I'm not making a new thread.

WAR looks pretty cool, but like many have said, after the first two, and the recent content-cut-for-release-that-was-probably-down-by-EA-and-not-Mythic thing... I'm going to let other people test the water first.

If Vanguard would just add in some more contested raid mobs and a few more raid zones I would re-activate my necro in a heartbeat... I went back and played a bit a few months ago and was thoroughly impressed by the optimization and smoothness that just a few patches have done for the game.. Not to mention the fact that player crafted items are worth a shit compared to alot of items in game.. And the fun factor is still there way more then it is for EQ2 for me anymore

Apparently more content is going into Vanguard after Fan Faire including a trial area. The community is getting quite excited about it....I've repatched and am waiting to try it out later this month.

I was in the Beta for War about a year ago and it was complete and utter shit, poodle girl. I deleted about a month in, just picked it up again last weekend and it really is vastly different.

The cuts had nothing to do with EA - listen to the pod casts and such all over the webs. The devs talk about cutting 4 classes to 20 was an effort in balancing, and removing some of the rvr cities was to create a tighter community at launch.

How many posts here are dedicated to wishing SOE would have combined a number of the 24 classes they currently have pre launch. Its not a bad thing is the point. Bards, Enchanters, Crusaders, Warriors, etc. etc.

If the gameplay is smooth and bug free, content is complete, lag isnt an issue and client stability is there, I can forgive the graphics easily enough. I look forward to testing this game out, after the complete and utter craptacularness that was AoC.

One thing they are deff. doing is beta testing the shit outa of it, and really exploring the tester feedback and making swooping changes accordingly, that in and of itself gives me a little hope.

eh I just dont really got a hard on for realm/pvp type games thats my only justification to not trying WAR out.. For those of you that like that stuff it seems like it'll be spot on.. As for me I'll just hope/pray there will come a day again when raiding becomes fun and a challenge again. The stuff that not everyone on the server could do not due to the fact of a guild lockdown but due to the fact it took skill and good players.
