Vanguard: Another in a long chain of new starts
We are contemplating switching to Vanguard Test server. We played on EQ test for many years – it was a great place. It does mean starting over one more time, which nobody is looking forward too. Mark says they have permanent double experience on Test so that would soften the pain somewhat. I would expect we could be back where we are in two weeks, or so, minus equipment and cash. Extra experience doesn’t help with loot.
I created a Halfling Warrior in anticipation of the switch. A mini-Warrior appeals to my since of asthetics. He’s just so cute. I’ve worked him to level 7 in three easy play sessions. Halflings start near Tursh, the Human starting city. We worked around there for a while so I’m familiar with the area.
I cancelled my WoW account last week. I expect we will be going back to it someday, but that’s no reason to pay for something we aren’t playing now. Vanguard is lacking something for me. In WoW we enter an instance looking to complete it and get all the great loot. We’ve not found a Vanguard dungeon with an obvious end point or special loot. There isn’t a sense of accomplishment. We are still looking though. Maybe we just don’t understand Vanguard yet.
