I can't break down every single detail of why this game sucks because, while i don't like it or intend to ever play it again, I don't have some personal vendetta against it or the developers. I'm partly to blame for the horrors I have witnessed first hand by downloading and installing this 20gb version of original EQ.

It doesn't attempt anything new, infact it disregards any and every improvement made to the genre since original EQ. It runs like pure shit on every computer, and it's a mystery why, because it's ugly, bland and unimaginative. It's like someone gave a bunch of retards the ability to bump map high resolution textures and let them have at the world.

The models are ridiculously bad. You'd think since they recycled 1 model for every single race in the entire game that 1 model would atleast be decent, it's not.

This game has no direction whatsoever, if someone told me the developers had been locked away in a basement somewhere since the release of EQ I would believe it. These people simply don't have it in them to make an entertaining, current mmorpg.

If you pine for the days of sitting with a group killing things over and over in some random, barren location, and wish not only that you could revisit your days of killing wildlife in the karanas, but do it with sub 15 fps, then Vanguard is the game for you.

I really can't go into depth beyond that because this game is that vapid, it has absolutely no depth to it. I can't tell you gameplay element x doesn't work nearly as well in this game it does in WoW, because this game doesn't have it. It has running around killing things and it has sitting around complaining about how shitty it is.

the most generic korean mmo has more going for it than Vanguard. I can't think of anything else to say beyond that.

I don't like the game, and I don't understand how anyone who has played it could. I'm not trying to convince you to love or to hate it without playing it, doing either would be pretty dumb on your part. All I can do is call it like I see it, and I see a trainwreck.
