Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

Yeah same, I never turned on the new ones except for elementals.

I liked this game, dont get me wrong, but to say they did a good job with art and animations and that it was comparable to other games in 2008/2009 is stretching the truth quite a bit. The graphics would have looked good had they came out in 2004 MAYBE. There are some areas, like the ones mentioned, that look amazing at first glance. Then you start to realize that castle in the middle of the lava area looks like shit. The animations in the game are fucking horrendous and the collision detection was terrible. Some of the mounts.. omg, atrocious. Much less the player character models. They had terrible support for graphics options, and you had to basically edit your INI files to get a good performance increase back then. But even if the game ran well, the options to make the game look better were mediocre at best. The game isnt a steaming pile of shit, but man, was it a let down.

I got 3 negs in this thread for criticizing Vanguard's terrible art style. Kinda illustrates another problem VG has always had - its terrible zealot-like Neckbeard population.

Honestly, most people that post quite a bit here would have given you a neg by now if they even cared. Its people that generally just lurk on this forum, and have never been in the original guild, much less a forum guild. Its a pointless system for the most part.

I'm going to log on a little tomorrow, but I don't think there are any ceremonies or anything.

11 1/2 hours remain

They said 9pm est correct?

I was going to pop in and see what's happening

I was actually going to fuck around in Vanguard a bit due to the all access shit, but I visited the site and saw the takedown notice a little while back. That's a bummer. Not like it was worth keeping, but still.

I bet my boy Chran will be online when the servers shut down.

What about syc? or however he spells it these days - didn't he go back to play with Chran?

No idea Syc still pays for teamspeak at least =p

If I didnt have to install this nonsense I would be there tonight just to see who shows up.

Devs online showing unreleased zones...fyi

Wonder if they will bring back the gnome starter. If I wasnt working till 8:00 and had any clue what "grabbing packets" entails (or w/e its called) I would be trying to get as much of that info as possible for VGemu. Although I imagine it's a shit show if everyone is all congested in one chunk.... In the end I guess it will go out much like it launched = ( .

For some reason I find it really sad when an MMORPG world gets shut down...

It's like a little universe gets cut out of existence by the push of a button.

Wigins is on right now. If you send him a tell he will port you to Nexus and give you a 9 mil hp buff.

Dropped 2 dragons in Nexus...

Bout to kiss this goodbye, logging in as Kinolin so holla if you see me.

Edit: Where's Nexus? Seriously, no clue. I need to see the exciting stuff if there's anything happening.

Nexus was an unfinished raid. Only the art is done

Oh. This shit is kind of depressing. I've never seen the closing of an MMO. It's just a bunch of dudes about to see the game they've sunk ridiculous hours into go poof in an instant.

Ran through Stiirhad. Pretty amazing

Wigins is handing out a sword that 1 shots things I believe. Trying to get a port to cave of wonders to test

How do you get in Stiirhad? Got summoned in Nexus.
