Didnt WoW have 80 million dollars and an unlimited development timeline for it? Wasent the Vanguard budget like 30 million? As far as I know their publisher also told them to release the game or no more funding. These WoW and Vanguard comparisons are out of line for a number of reasons really. Money being one, another being that it is a different type of game. I never liked WoW because quite honestly the game bored me to tears, Vanguard does not bore me at all. Different people like different things.
Anyways... Seeing as though I have seen Sigil devs and Brad imparticular publicly come down on SOE for forcing them to release the game early, I would imagine there is a lot of "I told you so" communications from Sigil to SOE. The game is fun. My hope is that they can sucessfuly get major bugs ironed out in a timley fashion, and come to some sort of compromise between the players like me who prefer a slower approach, and the players who prefer a quicker one without locking out either group. That would be a great compmise, and would also be quite an accomplishment IMO. Seems like they are on the right track... As long as this personal COH from anywhere in the game idea never goes live.
