I think you can have a pretty decent experience starting up in the game. There's really only the one server now so start on Telon if you do decide to try it, Halgar is the European server and from what I understand it's pretty much empty. The tricky…
Maybe it's just not for you. I personally don't really agree with any of your complaints. Cooldowns? I guess I just deal with them. Graphics? Fine for me, though character design does strike me as dated. Class selection? Best class selection in any …
tentonhammer.com has some great guides, I'm not sure how to find them on their site so I usually just google something like "Blood Mage guide vanguard saga" and it'll says something like "Sub-Portal: BLOOD MAGE | Ten Ton Hammer".
I think NT is just too laggy and complicated to make a good hub, though it's got some great areas in it and interesting buildings. Personally I like Khal a lot, I think in part because it's so easy to navigate and it's pretty visually impressive. I …
I've played VG three times now, at launch for a few months, then a year or so after, and now for about 3 months. I had gone off and tried a number of different games. Leaving for whatever looked new and shiny. Most recently I tried Rift and realized…
I did recently go back and give Vanguard another try and am loving it. I also was tempted to go back and try AoC again but time limits these days mean I only really have time for one game. I think the 'only one shot' mentality common in MMO gamers i…
Not sure if this applies, but just make sure you are still using the same account as you did before. I know a few people (myself included) who created multiple accounts along the way and get mixed up about which one was the original. I've never hear…
Originally posted by Groot I don't really mess with diplomacy? I'm really not that good at it, and no matter how much I read about it I can't seem to grasp how to succeed. I understand all the basics, using the cards, the "faction" with different …
Does it crash or just not let you go forward? Check to make sure there isn't a message on the screen saying that your character name is already taken. I remember that message being fairly small.
I think finishing the content that was already in the works would be the best place to start. Mostly though bug fixes and completing any existing content that kind of drops off or missing elements like the rest of the NT house diplomacy quests. I th…
Depending on how long ago you played the population problem might have actually been worse back then because the population was split over multiple servers. Now there's two, but only one really as the european server has been mostly abandoned. So, p…
Originally posted by sschrupp I'd definitely play it if it were F2P and I'm positive a few of my friends that loved it would do so as well.
However, considering they are killing SWG instead of going F2P... it just doesn't seem likely. You really h…

You just said it right there. "If they work a bit to make it last". People who love a game will play the game. But realistically 2-3 years of content? If you reroll over and over, recycling the content then sure. …
Originally posted by Xeonsoldier So VG has only gotten about 4 major content releases (APW, BoA, PoTA, and MH) since launch (I could be missing something as I quit 3rd Quarter 09). With the past 2 years being dormant. When people see this kind of ti…
Originally posted by Xeonsoldier VG won't go F2P because then it'll be losing money. Majority of the current community has huge issues with it and only really want it so it will "presumably" bring in more development. However, I highly doubt anyone …

Oddly enough the actual game launch shows a more recent update of April 2010 version 2680 than they show on the official website. It REALLY seems like SOE is just hoping this game dies.
As for updating I have mixed feelings about how necessary it …
Originally posted by jusomdude They game is dead, why cling on to it?
If it was a good game, more people would be playing based on that.
It's still got bugs from release, I'm actually really surprised the plug hasn't been pulled on it ye…
Originally posted by parrotpholk No need to hate really. Population says it all about the condition of VG. It also does not matter what people want added because it will not happen since they do not support it with a active development team. I ca…
Hmm... well I sort of agree with the OP about Vanguard not needing updates. For me there is plenty to do as is with the different choices in classes, races, crafting, and diplomacy. But I think anyone can see where it would benefit from some updatin…
