vanguard, hands down. i was in beta, i was going to silkyvenom every day posting, i wanted this game to succeed and bring back the "glory" days of EQ1, and it failed so fucking epically that its failure will never be duplicated. the game ran like shit, half the quests were broken and the world itself just felt dead. there were vast areas of nothingness and every single dungeon seemed like a cut and paste job. the loot was bleh and customization of characters was crap. i was so mad at myself for buying a 6 month sub and even more angry at my old EQ friends who dragged me over to VG with the promise of the good old days of EQ. i just don't understand how after 4+ years of development and 30+ million dollars that they could make a game so utterly shitty.

i think the worst part about it is this game did have so much potential. if they could have just polished it up a bit and got the game running without needing a NASA computer it would have at least been worth playing.
