But your right, no new concepts at all.

PS: I know somebody is going to bring up UO, but that was a 2D game so it doesn't count.

saw this in EQ1. Great they updated the graphics?

hello UO 8 years ago

flying mounts
EQ2 lets you get your own little cloud flying mount already. WoW is going to have flying mounts and some content is only accessable if you have one. Coh/CoV lets you fly on your own. Not exactly anything new.

are you talking about mere graphical updates? Or are you talking about how I could give my pets yaks in EQ1?

Quote:
localized economies
nothing new here

Quote:
travel caravans
IE CoH more closely resembling warlock summoning

Quote:
three different areas of advancement
The onlything new here is diplomacy. Which just sounds like a boring way to raise faction

You seriously don't consider this a new concept that has never been seen in a MMO before do you? There are MMOs that allow a ton more customization than what you are suggesting.

Finally something I haven't seen before. I've never seen this implemented and I doubt its really going to be a big deal if it even makes it into the game. If it rains I get -5 dps or what?

Seriously, what is Vanguard adding thats new that MMOs fans are going say 'wow cool cool idea, I hope xxx adds that too' Or heck, just something new that I can tell my friends about to try to get them interested into the game.
