Vanguard...hehe...

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/new...hp?story=13956

Bought out by SOE, is there a worse way for an MMO to go?

Now, given that Vanguard was designed by the mind behind EverQuest, maybe they can find a way to not screw it up, but given their track record with PS and SWG, how long do we think it'll be before Sony commits some sort of major gaffe?

Of course, asking half the employees of Sigil to come outside and delivering their pink slips en masse (http://www.f13.net/?itemid=560) might qualify, but supposedly that wasn't SOE's doing. Right...of course...people weren't fired because the next day the company was being bought out....no....

I dunno, it's funny that SOE can have such good MMOs at the start and then find a way to cock them up entirely. They're becoming more and more like EA in that regard.

Kinda makes Blizzard look alot better. No matter how futile it is to try and please everyone (i.e. PvPers, PvEers and the individual class whiners), at least Blizz puts forth the effort.

Re: Vanguard...hehe...

Vanguard was the best-worst MMORPG I have ever played. Problem: The game came out while it still needed a good 2 to 3 months of beta. Closed beta at that. The game was so buggy, that it was almost unplayable at times. Server boundaries REALLY piss me off in games, and frankly, Vanguard had the WORST by far. I mean, like 30 second lag outs per server boundary you crossed over. Horrible Shit.
