Vanguard

Ok.. I left EQ1 a few years ago. From time to time I missed my friends and the awe from when I had first started playing and would activate my subscription. But alas, having spent too long away I was too far behind to catch up and rejoin my old friends. I did the beta thing in WOW.. I have much respect for how well WOW plays on marginal computers but it just did not do it for me. I subscribed to EQ2 and have had no major complaints other than if "feels" as if something is missing. After much reading I have high hopes for Vanguard.

Does anyone have an idea as to when this game is going live? I have heard rumors of a mid 2005 launch but nothing more firm. If anyone has any more detailed information I would love to hear it.

Thanks

It's still in Alpha. No beta announced as of yet. So doesn't look like anytime soon. I'd say mid-2005 would be pushing it.

In a Dev discussion a while back - they said they are shooting for late 2006, but may have to push it back.

It will take me that long to save up for a 512 graphics card. Not to mention my wife's memory to slip abit about my buying an expensive monitor. Yeah, like she will really ever forget to rub that in my face.

This is made by the same guy who invented and/or made EQ?

Surely it will be amazing!

Most of the screens I've seen from Vanguard look like they could have been pulled from EQ2.

The engine is writen like an EQ engine, for sure. So yea - it would seem that way.

How the hell would you know how the engine is written without seeing any animation...

Eq engines suck fuckin ass.

Well, they're using the Unreal 2 engine, I think. The same one that Lineage 2 used. While L2's gameplay was utter ass, the graphics were fucking awesome. Here's hoping for gratuitous jiggling and pantyshots for Vanguard!
