I beta tested this game from phase 3 through to the end. The changes I saw were amazing, I was initially a little disappointed because of the hype I had read differed somewhat from the game I saw in beta 3, but then I realised no game could live up to my imagination, and as I watched this game evolve, and saw the amount of depth and complexity it had to offer – I realised although it can look like a standard type MMO with pretty graphics it is much, much more than that. The diplomacy is a whole game in itself, as is the crafting. Only real downside is the need for a fairly decent computer to run it. Especially a decent video card. But there is no better reason to upgrade than this game.

This game is awesome! I suggest you do a bit of research into it, there is SO much to it. Judging the game from early beta…pure genius, that's like saying dinner was terrible, I ate it before it was cooked though.
If you are looking for a new challenge in the world of MMORPGS, this game may be for you!
A massive, immersive world & a return to the ‘effort=reward’ ethos that games like WoW did away with. If you still remember the thrill of the 1st time you killed Fippy Darkpaw and no game has felt as good since..then Vanguard may be the game your waiting for!
I beta tested Vanguard through phase's 1, 2 and 3. During phase 1 to 2, the developers dropped Microsoft and were picked up by Sony, i quit shortly after phase 3 started.
During phase 1 it was reallly buggy, to the point where if you logged out in a 2 story house, you would login in the 1st floor, not ON the first floor, in the first floor. You couldn't move.
The game picked up quite a bit, but it seems like the same old MMORPG, different company, different models, same old game. The gameplay doesn't match EQ2 or WoW, and WoW is pretty bad.
Theres nothing really much to say about this game. It's more fun than Guild Wars, DnDO. But it's still the same old stuff. It would be better off holding off untill Darkfall Online comes out. www.darkfallonline.com. Specially if you have ever played Ultima Online or Shadowbane.
