There are still quite a few playing on Frostfell, and like I said above, im a complete newb to the game, but i have found friends my level, and have no problem getting fellowships together in the xp-rich grind dungeons. I also see quite a few new ch…

I did the trial about a week ago, and just subscribed yesterday. I have heard good things about AC over the years, and was bored with the grind of WoW, EQ2, and Lotro, so wanted to try something new (or very old). I am having a blast on Frostfell, a…

Ryzom or Vanguard would be my suggestions. Im currently playing them both. Unfortunately, it appears that VG has higher system specs than you can meet, and Ryzom does not fulfill your artistic tastes. But both games offer 'more or less' what you ar…

DDO has some great dungeons, filled with traps, puzzles, nice architecture, and decent boss AI. If you want to do dungeon crawling...DDO fulfills that desire in spades. EQ1 also has some very awesome raid dungeons, which some say are the best in …

The lack of jumping is no big deal to me. Dont get me wrong, I loved the ability to 'superjump' in CoH, and have always enjoyed the ability to jump in every game I have ever played. But in the final analysis, jumping never has added much to the actu…

I too just started Ryzom, and am blown away. Where have I been all these years? Never even heard of this game until recently. As far as 'missions' go, I left the newbie island and went to the mainland last night. Within a few feet of where you zone …

Yup, high resolution is no prob. Im running on 1680 x 1050 here and the game looks gorgeous.

The FREEDOM baby! The FREEDOM! Ive only been playing this game for a few days, but I feel completely liberated from the class-theme park mentality that comes with most MMOs these days. In Ryzom you are free to become the best that you want to beco…

A sandbox MMORPG = The Saga of Ryzom. I was recently able to get a new account for this resurrected game, and it is both liberating and a lot of fun. Large gameworld, about equal in size to WoW before Burning Crusades. Decent graphics, accepta…

I was fortunate to get a 'new' account a few minutes after they became available. So I entered the game yestertay a complete Ryzom 'virgin'. It took me a while to get used to the UI and how the various systems worked. I decided to be patient and …

Originally posted by shassell Hi, It had an EQ feel about it, no doubt theres been a lot of work done to imrove the bugs and smooth it out. However, any sense of challenge has been torn right out. It really is carebear now. I f you want a fluffy …

The Vanguard community that is left is by and large quite happy with the state of the game today. Check out the official Vanguard forums for your own evaluation.

The new trial island will be out soon, probably in mid September. You can then try it out for yourself. There are plenty of old EQ1 players that are now happily playing Vanguard, myself included. No its definitely not as difficult as old school EQ1.…

The first 10-15 levels are pretty much designed for solo play. Thats the way it is. Also keep in mind that there are numerous starting regions scattered throughout the world, so the starting population is scattered. That will be largely rectified wi…

People bring their own expectations to a game. Vanguard was never supposed to be an EQ1 clone. Even in the original 'vision' it was intended for the core gamer--the ones who werent extreme hardcore or extreme casual, but somewhere in between. Its …

/shrug Got my account and didnt have any probs.

Vanguard has its pluses and minuses like all games. But what is a plus for one, may be a minus for another, and generally speaking we all bring our own biases and expectations into a game, which tend to color our evaluations. For example take the …

Originally posted by biggdoggid Bhuma, where would you go for such group play on Kojan? Unfortunately, group play doesnt become a significant part of the scene until later, starting in your late teens or early 20s. You can probably find …

Originally posted by zethcarn I couldn't get into Vanguard for that reason. It felt way too much like another Lotro or WoW. I was hoping for a sandbox game and one where people grouped a lot. Understood. VG is not a traditional sandbox…
