I heard something about end-game enchants, which you either have to farm ~7 months or pay $160 to get. That certainly doesn't seem fair from a p2w perspective. I…

They don't even have a report button in this game, and yet they keep systematically banning large chunks of their playerbase. Not a smart move imho. GG Cryptic.
It's ok, knowing PW I'm sure they're per…
It's not dying, just completely oversaturated with a lot of games that have no staying power due to them being a bunch of flash with no staying power as actual virtual worlds, which is what retained players to begin with..
My problem with Vanguard at the moment is that, while I'd love to play it again (I played for a short while in the past) I don't really want to reward SoE for "doing us a favor" by making this game F2P to milk some more money out of it after they sy…

Not entirely, but it definitely needs to be retooled. It was terribly implemented in DAoC and stealth classes…
Wish I could get back into this, but besides the fact that I wouldn't want to reward SoE for letting the game languish to death intentionally and then bringing it back to milk it for some fresh microtransactions on it's way out the door, I don't thi…
I would highly suggest trying the beta for a few days and hanging out at the forums to get a feel for how Snail Games handles thing before getting invested in this at all...
As much as I wish I could play it over on the EU (even with any latency that might entail) I can't trust that it won't be a cash grab eventually given Gpotato's history. I mean, this is the company that brought us the Allods disaster. That said, I'v…
Wushu is interesting, but unfortunately has a long way to go. The community is not fantastic at the moment, and the cash shop/F2P model they have going on right now is less than desirable (rental items and the ability to buy considerably faster powe…

I'm not angry, just a bit sick of things like this being blown out of proportion by people who seem to think they should have some special treatment just because they spent their money. It would have bee…
As with most MMOs these days, I'm going with "I'll believe it when I see it". Until people are actually playing it/it's in a playable state, it's almost not even worth debating over anything it may or may not be.

Based on XFire numbers I would say that the game has about 1.6-1.9M total playerbase.
The trouble is, all of the players are in fractals and nowhere else.
Because there are enough people playing for it to still be talked about. Honestly, all the MMO community does it complain and fight amongst themselves anymore. You will never hear anything positive about an MMO these days as everything is drown out …
Tried the game, interesting concept, but it has the same rough edges that many games of it's type seem to have. The GUI is the biggest roadblock, with bits and bobs located everywhere on very tiny buttons and text either cutoff and/or poorly transla…

I've been playing Istaria as it's the closest I've found so far and I remember it, but not enough people remember/play it, and playing and old game in a mostly empty world just leaves me feeling stuck in the…

SWG Pre-NGE without contest. This isn't even a fair comparison considering Old Republic is the ultimate display of the direction MMO development is being dragged in as a subscription based co-op game rather than a virtual world without rails.

Good luck with that . .... best bet would be to properly support and develope Vanguard.
If Vanguard had gotten off the ground the genre as a whole might have done off in an entirely different direction…
Personally I've been playing Istaria for a bit. Its old as hell, and there's not a ton of people left (nobody seems to remember it )= ) but the devs do more than just keep the light on and have been updating it all this time. Unfortunately, there's …
