That's also the problem I have with the wonderful Conan lore being used in a MMORPG.

Well, we can only dream, can't we?

I feel villainous while playing.

 

Of course, there are some story arc where you are actually more a dark hero, but these are minority and...they can be explained.

 

Random murder is not villainous, it is dumb.  A villain will protect the orphan and the widow, might team rape them, but eh, we have a rating of less then 18-, so you have to read between the lines.  But killing the orphan or the widow makes no sense.  A Villain is extremely selfish, not some random mass murderer.  A Villains want the control for himself, hurting and even killing innocent isn't problematic, but the villain won't kill innocents for the pleasure of killing them...he might hurt them a little for his self pleasure however.

 

There is no point in ruling a desert.  You needs you peons alive and protected...the price of protection is...

 

A mass murderer should be alone, in some desert.  A villain would hunt down someone who is killing his peons, not to protect his peons, to protect his social domination.  This also explain why a villain often torture the hero up to the point the hero manages to escape...killing the hero is for the weaker villains, the stronger one they want pleasure from dominating overpowered fools.

Oh ok. That sounds deeper and more challenging.

WoW the Vanbois are out in force trying to put out this fire, but it won't work.

Anyone with any sense can understand the subtle message of this offer. SOE is gonna do as much for Vanguard as they have for Matrix Online. I laughed at the former statement of Sony equaling quality, that's a good one.

Yes for every "it runs fine" there seems to be 3 more "it runs badly", now I know that people tend to post the bad news more than the good but I think it's clear now that Vanguard does have performance issues. SOE seem to be getting there with them though, OP have you tried changing the texture settings in the ini file to the low memory versions?

LOl ok well walk and talk around it all you want but still the question is why ? ...if your self proclaim MMO experience cannot gather you the intelligence to say soemthing better than its <SIlly> haha then i dont know what to say , i agree it proberly isnt right but is my opinion but tbh its about as possible as your delusion too.

This just gets worse and worse, because I called your post "silly" you don't know what to say? Oh I can think of a lot more to say about your posts but you already seem prone to taking being told you're wrong as a personal attack and I have better things to do.

You agree that you probably aren't right BUT think that I'm probably not right either?! You know it's not right but it's STILL your opinion?! "Walk and talk around it all you want but still the question is still why?", what are you talking about? Why what? The question isn't why at all. Why did they offer EQ2 subscriptions? The player had left, they still wanted his money they made him an offer, simple. SOE did not conspire against Vanguard, SOE is not the devil, SOE did not fake the moon landings. Get a grip on the SOE hate! I'm an easy going laid back guy and I honestly wouldn't bash these SOE hate posts so much if they weren't so full of random silly rubbish.

Sig released early because they ran out of cash and had ZERO choice in their OWN words, it wasn't SOEs job to pump them full of money to keep them going, they are not the bank of Vanguard. As for this stuff about them wanting it to fail and having a bottomless pit of money, if they had REALLY wanted Vanguard to fail and saw it as a big competitor to EQ2 then they would have shut Vanguard down as a waste of time and money and pumped all that extra cash into EQ2 instead. But why would they do that, they'd already put monkey into the game and then spent more buying Sig and bailing them out again, why would they want it to fail!?

Have you lol ? i doubt this too

Yes actually, I have. Also I dunno what your idea of a personal attack is but my post wasn't even close to one, you stated ridiculous view points and stated them as fact. Then you make a second post claiming to be talking about "business", well I'm sorry but if you think comments like "Sony's pockets are so deep they could had funded 10's of MMOs and not felt the bite for years" would stand up in ANY business you're kidding yourself.

These views that SOE wanted/aided the start of the death of Vanguard are just silly, SOE is the only reason the game was released in the first place, they are the only reason the game is running now and they are the only reason the game has a future.

Sony did what they set out to do , Destroy the competition , Vanguard could had been the grail to a large niche grp of old eq'ers blah blah and yes once again potential was massive , they knew what they were doing the first time they put there money infront of Sigil , divide and conquer , push for early release let Sigil go into total turmoil and then buy it out , where as not losing a horde of EQ2 members over time & potential clients and maintain the exodus. 

Sonys pockets are so deep they could had funded 10's of vanguards and not even felt the bite for years but its all about marketing , total Corp annihalation , they will keep VG sub par while they continue there marketing ploy with EQ2 deals over the forthcomming months.

8800gts is the problem probably, Vanguard doesn't like it at all. Could be more of a driver issue, though it's likely SOE and Nvidia will have to meet in the middle over it.

Some of you are missing the point that the OP is making.

Why is FLS or SOE, giving beta keys to Allakhazams over long time loyal PotBS forum members? Most likely it's SOE's influence over FLS now because SOE is the one with ties to IGE, but these kind of poor judgements go along with crawling in bed with SOE.

Would be nice to hear from Rick about whose idea this promotion was and how he defends giving beta keys to unknown persons over long time loyal PotBS forum members.

Actually, if anything, we are highly encouraged to play other games. A lot of our GMs play at least one other MMO, while most play two or three.>>

And we wonder why the game isn't out yet...

So many silly comments in that above post, the part about LA is interesting considering how much say they had in the NGE in the first place. It's just a typical SWG hate post, you have zero clue as to what you're talking about and have to push your point, which is nothing more than a view, as fact to make your view stand up.
