If a company lets you beta test (i.e. play for free) you should damn well obey an NDA, I don't care if it's Hello Kitty Murder Isles.  It's just proper. |

Why did you waste the invite on the village idiot?

SO ANYWAY
I was totally psyched for Vanguard. My guild was going to move there, and we changed all the graphics on our forums to totally sweet Vanguard: SoH stuff.
But after all this talk, I think my 200 member superguild and I are going to play Archlord instead (or maybe Maple Story, not sure).

Vanguard, Archlord or Maplestory?

The amusing thing about the Vanguard NDA is that one of the sites with the most  -breaks (FoH MMOG Discussion) also has frequent visits from Brad. |

Maybe not hallucinating, but obviously missing the sarcasm. I hope. |

I've seen him post on other boards, too... MMORPG.com for one. He sometimes breaks his own NDA. I think he just likes to see himself post. Anyway, the NDA for this game has definitely proved ineffective. They should just give it up. It didn't hurt WoW any to not bother.

Brad is a terrifically motivated self-promoter during beta, responding immediately to all questions, participating in multiple interviews, posting to various messageboards, sending out screenshots and whatnot, etc. He was on alt.games.everquest every day. Once the game is released, if it's a success, he'll immediately disappear and hire abashi. Of course that won't happen, it won't succeed, because it isn't 1999.

They're at the point where they have Pre-Order boxes on the freakin' shelves of stores. I have two of them that I'm giving to friends (I'm a bad person, I know).
It's getting towards the home stretch. They need to just drop the NDA already. Anyone who wants to know something about the game already knows about the game. Leaked newsletters, leaked screenshots, the FoH boards, etc.

Why did you waste the invite on the village idiot?
That would be me? Take it back before I'll teleport and confine you on Siege Perilous (with Sinij) and haunt your dreams with graphs for the rest of your life. |

To be fair, Falconeer seems to be fanboi for Test Drive too. Which is a good thing.
I just don't understand the rabid appeal for Vanguard though. It looks like crap, and plays like a gajillion games he's probably played before. Even taking his liking for diku into account, it should only appeal to him on a "normal" level at best.
Or am I missing something about it?

I was actually up and in a good position to make the first reply on this thread, but passed up the opportunity. Considering my recent stubbornness has convinced everybody I'm hyu-incarnate, you can count your blessions Falconeer ended up with the invite.

Why am I so rabidly interested in Vanguard? So simple. Can you say Uberdiku ? I played Dikus and EverQuest bastard sons in a form or another for the last 8 years, now I wanna see the end of the story, I wanna see the biggest one of them all. It's "The return of the Creators", it's "Diku's back where it started from", it's "XXL EverQuest". It's like in those crappy hollywood movies, darn! Good or bad, Vanguard will be a milestone and it'll have a place in online videogaming history, even as a failure, as the legitimate child of the EQ. And I just wanna see it. (note that I never said "play") And for the records, no I am not a VG fanboi yet. I posted on the other Vanguard topic here on f13 lots of Brad's comedic posts from other places in the 'net, just to make fun of him. Definitely not the kind of fanboi attitude he likes.
(Test Drive on the other hand, rocks! Too bad they pulled off parts trading, that made MCO huge).

I'm hoping to get into this beta for some sick reason. I'm not sure if it's to relive my EQ nostalgia or because I enjoy pain.

By all accounts, it's not a terrible looking game. As far as specific instances, I can't say ( ), but I digress. |
