Vanguard....?Follow

This is quite possibly one of the most uninformed posts I've ever read on this site.

A) SoE acquired Vanguard long before it was ever released.
B) This site has never condoned advertising of RMT activities.
C) http://www.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=80

I don't like to advertise other sites, but try Ten Ton Hammer for Vanguard infos, if you haven't already. Compared to the support for most games at Alla's, they blow, but compared to the other info sites out there for VG they're my favorite.

Pikko's right. That is why you don't see google ads on the sites here. It's next to impossible to control which ads display and which don't.

I personally have banned thousands of gold/gil/plat sellers from our forums. Any gold/gil/plat ads that do show up on the site are removed immidiatly after they are brought to our attention. You will note that there were NEVER any purposeful gold/gil/plat seller ads on the site. To claim otherwise is quite frankly rather insulting.

I am sure something could be arranged hehe

There's really only one reason we haven't done a vanguard site.

We have not ever felt that the game will have a large enough player base to make the time and effort it will take to build a good site worth it.

The game isn't very good, it's not compelling to a wide variety of users. Without a large user base, we're never going to generate the kind of traffic we need to make the programming time worth it.

SOE buying Vanguard may have an effect on the main problem here - the game not being very good. But then again, look at their handling of Star Wars.

If we feel that making a Vanguard site will more than pay for itself, then we'll make one. In the mean time, I'd highly suggest that you play a game that's actually fun, and works. Wow, eq2, ffxi, etc.

FFXI Starter pack will be available after this weekend. :D Only $3.99!

That's an awfully bold and unprofessional way to say things, Illia. Whether or not a game is "good" is totally subjective. I find Vanguard to be the funnest game out there, and it has way more potential than any other competitor. I understand Sigil and the site have/had mutual boners for eachother, but that's not the sort of incendiary rhetoric I expected.

It's totally fair to say the game doesn't have a large enough population to justify it's own site here, but to go on about how bad of a game it is just reeks of inexperience with the title and butthurt. The thing hurting Vanguard is the low population and the type of vitriol displayed in your post, from folks who quite frankly can't be playing the same game as I am.

If this wasn't the feedback forum I'd intimate that you should go copulate with yourself, but in more profane terms.



And I'm done sticking up for you, Allakhazam.com. That's right, I'm breaking up with you.

In my opinion, my statement "isn't very good" isn't particularily bold or provocative. It is negative, as is my opinion of the game. It's certainly much nicer language to describe the game than I'd use in conversation. Though I detest marketing crap, and would rather people express their opinions naturally. Even if that does mean you'd rather tell me to **** off rather than copulate

If I believed that writing a detailed review of my negative opinion would benefit anyone, I'd expand upon the 3 word review above. I'm glad you find something to enjoy in it.

For allakhazam.com, it remains that a game with at best a niche appeal isn't likely to make writing a site for it into a profitable venture.
