The graphics look terrible

Which screenshots are you referring to when you say the graphics look terrible because for some reason I think you're talking about another game?
While it isn't the best quality video if anyone can watch this and say the graphics look terrible I question their level of vision or sanity.

Re: Vanguard Online.

Sigil released the information. Wikipedia users then took that information and put it on their site.

Re: Vanguard Online.

why would Sigil released it on Wiki when they have their own website. Looks like it's written by normal players to me.

Any released from Sigil itself isn't against the NDA.

Re: Vanguard Online.

You guys understand the concept of an NDA right and the actions that can be taken against you for breaking it?

Wiki has had a bunch of info on Vanguard since original beta opening. has the whole story plot, playable chars, races, jobs. Still hasn't been taken off...the only thing they are worry about is SS's.

Re: Vanguard Online.

Same direction? Only if you consider FFXI and EQ going in the same direction.

Re: Vanguard Online.

I have the amazing ability to judge games by their graphics.

Re: Vanguard Online.

They were the original dev team of EQ, that's their biggest selling point. Most people exciting about Vanguard were EQ players. You can more or less expect the game to be in the same direction.

Re: Vanguard Online.

I think perhaps you are looking at the wrong section... and have you played Vanguard? How do you know if its good or not? And what do you mean same qualities from the same developers? This is Sigil's first game and a lot of things will be different EQ.

Re: Vanguard Online.

The graphics look terrible, and the art style makes it look like an EQ clone. It makes me appreciate the Warcraft style. It seems like all the good MMOs are here or gone, and we can really only expect the same quality from the same companies. All these new MMOs coming out are going to have an extremely difficult time competing for subscribers.

OT: Check out the MMORPG.com website, FFXI and WoW aren't even on the list of top MMOs anymore. EVE is still at the top, but Guild Wars and EQ2 now follow. I don't think the list is an accurate representation of reality.

Re: Vanguard Online.

They don't want you telling people you are in beta but they don't really enforce that as far as I've seen. Actual leaks; lore, mechanics, screenshots, videos; get punished. Maybe saying "my PoS computer can't handle Vanguard" is enough to get me kicked, but it's not like I'd upgrade just to beta test.

My video card wasn't even on the list of cards when I filled out the registration.

Re: Vanguard Online.

Are they really that hardnosed about it? Crap, even the CIA lets you tell people you work for them for most jobs. I thought the NDA just wouldn't let you discuss game mechanics, show ss's, or maybe a few other things like that. I figured they'd want a certain amount of people saying they were in the beta and that they were enjoying it. Atleast start a little good word of mouth advertising early on.

Yep. Worst they'd actually do is take away my (unusable) beta access. People state they've been invited all the time even on the public official forums and never get punished for it that I've heard. It's not like I've given away any details of the game, posted screenshots. or tried to give away or sell my account.
