Ok despite my personal feelings i the matter i entered the fileplanet beta for this game, downloaded the game, which was a compressed file of 6.6gig, which uncompressed into a wopping 17gig game, that is the biggest i think iv seen a game.
Starting off they had like 13 or 16 character races, might of been more, ranging from goblins to lesser giants, dwarfs etc, now the gameplay itself is where this game failed in my opinions.
This is what i saw in vanguard when i tried it.
It has the skill gain system of WoW finding your trainer, buying that 1 skill to 2 to 3 for that lvl and going about your buisness, has the combat system of DAoC and even the clunky animations to boot, has the graphics of everquest 2, and the traveling variety of UO.
Now combining all those into 1 game you would figure would make 1 kick ass game, well yeah if it was done correctly, however from what iv played so far they failed so bad. My personal favorite is they actually give you a caravan option to travel long distances while you sleep, wtf, realism is one thing but if i can be a goblin i abandoned realism a long time ago no?
In anycase has anyone else tried this beta? If so what are your opinon's on it, all i see going for it are graphics, it also has the best looking dwarfs iv seen on a mmo.
