Seriously?
My hunch for the longest time has been that Vanguard appeals more to to the 'serious' or 'hardcore' roleplaying types whereas WoW appeals more to the gamer types. There just happens to be more of the latter category than the former.
I dunno. My view of Brad has always been of that one dude you always knew in high school who wore the Metallica t-shirts/shirts with a huge fucken dragon and played D&D and had Green River killer eyes. People who take their gaming way too seriously and really immerse themselves into the game and have their fun that way.
WoW just serves as an endorphin farm and is more about 'hack and slash' than actual roleplaying.
I'm not trying to say that Vanguard is a game *just* for LARPers or hardcore RP types or whatever, it's just that it seems the game is designed with that sort of approach in mind. The differences between VG and WoW are more than just mechanics and graphics, in other words.
There's that, and the fact that a lot of people don't forget the bullshit that was forcefed to them in the 'glory days' of EQ. You beat a dog with a stick enough times, and it'll come to fucking hate your guts. |
