The writing is on the wall, sadly. People do not play games for potential unless it is realized.
Companies do not pour money into "potential" either, unless it is realized.
If SOE had been seriously committed to continuing Vanguard development, they would have thrown a decent budget and additional developers behind it.
They didn't.
GU3.1 did add some good things for the game, but just enough for it to be an acceptable Station Pass addition. I'm anxious to see when 3.2 and 3.3 will make it in given the new circumstances.
Plus, it makes more sense to fund and support a reasonably healthy EQ2, their own baby, than to feed and clothe Vanguard, the red-headed stepchild of Brad McQuaid.
And just to be fair, Bongk, you could consider me one of those "dumbasses" for Horizons; I certainly wouldn't say the game itself is good, but certain elements of it show promise, in my opinion: multi-classing, unlimited crafting classes for one toon, dragon classes, undead attacks on the cities, the rebuilding of ruins/statues/mines, etc.
I wanted to see Vanguard succeed, but the outlook is not pretty, and it's time to be realistic.
I must be the Dr. Cameron of failing MMOs.
