• • Still No Hard Press!!!

  • I suppose it isn't scientific taking one magazine(a freebee at that), so lets take another. The Magazine it came with for example.

    PCG Big Game Hunt  (The Best Games on PC)

    Genre - Massively Multiplayer

    Modern Great - World of Warcraft.  Alternative - Eve Online.  Genre Classic - City of Heroes.
    

    Also recommended - LotR Online, SWG, DAoC, AoC, Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars, Second Life, City of Villains.

    So as you can see, still no mention of Vanguard, and I bet you a pound to a penny it's the same in PC Zone.

    I am not basing the game's success on just these two magazines. I am merely saying it cannott be a "Modern Great" by word of mouth alone. I mean for Pete's sake, half the people I talk to think Vanguard is a nuclear class submarine.

• • Still No Hard Press!!!

  • I recently purchased a monthly PC Gamer Magazine and got a small freeby mag called "What MMO". Inside is a load or bumph about various MMOs due for release etc. My horror cam at the centre spred which read...

     

    WHAT MMO?

    Working out which online universe is for you can be a grind. To make your decision that little bit easier, here's out round up of the biggests MMOs around.

    I won't spell out the whole article but here is the list.

    AOCM, ARCHLORD, AIR RIVALS, ASHERON'S CALL, BOUNTY BAY ONLINE, CITY OF HEROES, DAoC, D&D ONLINE, EVE ONLINE, EQ2, FF XI, FURY, GUILD WARS, LINEAGE 2, LotR Online, Matrix, RF Online, SWG, Sword of the new World, Tabula Rasa, A tale in the Desert, Ultima Online, WoW, World War 2 Online.

    I don't doubt that some of these games are great MMOs, but others I don't care to mention are downright rubbish, and I can't for the life of me understand why they have been included ahead of VG. I like VG and want it to succeed, but if it can't get so much as a mention in "WHAT MMO?", its chances are slim.

• • FFA PVP, like AoC?

  • Yawn So what exactly is the question? The idea is that the trial answers any questions you have. Incidentally I'm interested to know where you downloaded a 14 day trial.

• • New Start Looks Promising...but which server?

  • It's not so much the leveling to 30 but the fact that I have a lot of kit . It would take me a long time to aquire what I own right now. I think I will ride it out on this server until I know for sure what is happening with server merges.

• • New Start Looks Promising...but which server?

  • I made a new toon on Bloodfin, and I found that server to be buzzing. Unfortunately being a lvl 5 was not a buzz and I'm feeling inclined to bring my lvl 30 over as he is spoilt with money and kit donated to me when I returned last time. At $50 for toon and items  this could prove a mistake given the rumours of server merges and free transfers.

    Does anyone have any solid legit news on what is going to happen in this department? Are these merely rumours or is this really in the pipeline? Links would be most appreciated.
