Good call by Sigil for pushing the release date when the game is ready but even though it helps the publicity it gets killed by SOEs terrible name. |
I'm guessing it was something like this, with a dash of "Make us the next WoW"/"Hell no" thrown in. Not sure how this will work out for Sigil in the long run, but I doubt SOE is going to want another game aimed at the noob mass market since they already have EQ2, so this would seem to bode well for Vanguard's uniqueness/niche focus, though probably not for its profitability.
That said, lots of the fanbois over on the Vanguard forums spend almost as much time slobbering over themselves with bilious hatred for SOE as they do hating WoW, so there'll probably be some serious changes in the community. But given how pathetic and arrogant a lot of posters on those boards have been, that's probably a good thing.
