Thunderaxe it is...I am totally game for it lets get together maybe start a guild or join a cool one. If you have any other sugestions. I would love to here em. :) As far as a kickass computer it is rather cheap to build a kickass computer yourself if you know how to. I9 do it just for shits and giggles and look at it like a slap in the face of Dell, HP, Copmaq, ect.... They charge way to much! I made a 3.4 GHZ pentium D Duel Core with 2 gigs of ddr2 Ram with 512 video for under $600 :)

I personally have played since launch... This game is the best MMORPG out right now imo. Those of you Thinking you want to try it. Do it, it's the shit. Though it does have a a lot of bugs right now. It is still well worth it. They will be fixed. Trust me when I tell you people from WoW try this game and make it past all the tutorials they will not go back to WoW. Give it a shot you'll be suprised :) I played FFXI for over 2 years and dropped it when i started playing this. I never got into WoW it was far to easy. Dont flame me for that, because thats my opinion.

I played for a couple days as did infamous, we got the free trials from one of my friends.

We both quit, theres a bunch we both dont like and I think one thing I will never get over with american MMOs is there idea of what characters and scenery should look like, well WOW got it kinda right pretty with the chars and I think there maybe US based? But vanguard in the graphics department is worse then EQ2 IMO.

Dont get me wrong, on the highest settings the game looks good as does EQ2, but the artwork I guess you would say looks like something a 5yr old would come up with. This is why I was Kerra in EQ2 cause it was the only race that really looked good, again IMO.

It seems these american designers keep falling into designing characters with overized flumpy looking feet, weak ass looking skills (well eq2 had some nice ones like stealth) and just poor sceneries, it seemed like most of the higher areas are dark and dungeon like. I dont wanna be all depressed while im gaming, dungeons are cool but get old rather quickly.

I have some screenies from in game, personally Id rather and I do play silkroad which doesnt looks quite as pretty as far as polygons twerling on the screen but does have better actual artwork and visual effects imo.

Yes this is the SMALLEST foot size for this char ????

The only cool thing in the game imo was the awesome clouds

I think the designers need to understand the concept of proper proportions, granted I was a hafling which are known for their big feet? maybe? but this is still the case for even the humans which have enormous feet as well. Some of the other races just look like total shit.

IM a graphics person all the way, its what made me stick with EQ2 for 40 something levels even though finding a party late at night was total hell so I finally quit. But damn that game on the highest settings had its moments.

For all out visual apeal I still say FFXI has something intriguing about it, for instance when your just starting out and u see a mob of lvl 70+ peeps rolling through the caves in E.Ron you nearly shit at the looks of their gear. Now take EQ2 for example, I have no clue if what your wearing is lvl 1 or 71 because there not much "coolness" to the higher lvl stuff. This is where the japs have it pegged. Just look at ffxi, and even the chinese seemed to get it right in Silkroad. Back to vanguard same as eq2, My buddy was in his 40's and just quit, same one that was beta and got the game right away. I couldnt even tell anyone in his party vs. a lvl 10 pty cause the gear still looked wack, I mean graphically yeah I can see the rivets on your shield ok but your shield still looks fuckin gay.

Heres some SRO shots just for shits n giggles, sad im compairing this "next big thing" game against a free mmo.

Damn those screen shots are the shit man. However...I still love VSOH but you are correct when you say there realy is nothing that seperated the high lvl gear and low lvl gear. But I do believe having a house a flying mount camels horses and your own boat would prove to as BLING in game. Irl tons of ppl are poor but have fake looking awsome gear that they strut all the time so bling gear is not that big of a deal. When you look at ppls houses, boats, cars and ect you know what kinda money or you would call bling, they really have :) Plus if you like crafting this is an awsome game for that.

How would I the average player while out lvling know what kind of house and boat you have as you run by? Do you have a virtual wallet that you pull the pictures out of to show me? lmao

Besides wouldnt the house be to expensive to own and instead be a guilds house and I head it takes a bunch of people and resources to build a boat so theres another thing it sounds like a guild would own and not a single person.
