Vanguard

Has anyone looked into this? I've seen in mentioned often on Stratics and I find it interesting.

Here's a quote from their FAQ:

Quote:

12.1 Will there be player owned housing and how will that work?

Players will be able to build and own residential, commercial, industrial structures as well as store items in those structures.This will include residential areas for storing goods, commercial areas in which you can have a vendor sell your wares for you, as well as 'industrial' areas that will help crafters refine and assemble goods. We will have craftable vehicles and buildings in regards to player cities, though at this time, we don’t have exact details on how this will work. There will be differing styles, and there will be some recipes that you can only execute on a particular continent, town or dungeon.

We can’t go into too much more detail other than to say that housing will be zoned – you can’t build just anywhere. Likewise, there is an upkeep associated with housing, and we expect people to move as they go up in levels, leaving buildings (or at least build-able land) behind. Does that mean everyone is guaranteed a house? We’re hesitant to commit to that – it’s akin to guaranteeing content in general. There will be competition to a degree, though we will do our best to avoid both tedium and frustration. That, and the world is seamless and BIG, so there should be good amount of room.

Also, our approach, like most MMOGs, is shard-based, so servers will age, new servers will be put up, etc., so these and many other opportunities shouldn’t only be available at launch, but after launch as the game naturally grows and new worlds are launched.

In addition to owning buildings on a character level, player-controlled villages and cities are expected to appear over time.

Buildable housing? A 3D client with buildable housing? I am sooo interested! lol
Don't get me wrong...I play UO because of it's content and not for it's graphics...but we are still running a 2D engine from 1995...

I don't update my computer very often...it's too expensive. But I can run UO 3D fine...and I run EQ2 with is very graphics intensive. For me, the 3D setting lets me immerse myself into the game more...makes me feel like I'm really there (which is why I play online games..to get away from reality)

it looks interesting anyway, if you are into such things.

When I find I am in need of a graphics fix I usually play a console game that has awesome graphics. But since my PS2 was stolen, I have reverted to PC games. Fable: The Lost Chapters is my current fix.
But I do like the dog man.....mog? lol

Aye my fella and I are excited about this one.
There is some doubt that it will play on my machiene though.

Wow...hey it looks just like WOW heh

I wonder if there will be a rp server and is anyone else here going to try this one out?

Thradia · 11th April 2006, 08:05 AM

Flutter you guys are going ot try it?! YAY

i'm hoping maybe I'll be able to get into the Open Beta...probably no chance of me getting in beta because I signed up so late...but crazier things have happened.

Hopefully they will make an RP server...I love those. No asshats..for the most part.

Is this for the Xbox only or were those pics just from the Xbox version? Pretty nice either way. I installed Shadowbane yesterday and was dissapointed before even leaving the character creation.

Thradia · 11th April 2006, 08:30 AM

It's PC...MMORPG...

and yes, Shadowbane is very disappointing. I found that as well

Dragonreborn_KmR · 11th April 2006, 08:55 AM

hehe I've been saying asshat since high school!

*thinks she can start a new fad now*

Dragonreborn_KmR · 12th April 2006, 09:09 AM

I know ive always wanted a asshat....

Of course it would be odd for us male folk. It would be covering a part of the female body we enjoy looking at and of course when you decide to buy one for your chicka it would be "So you got me asshat, because you think my ass is big? Thats it isnt it! You think I have a huge ass!"

*shudders*
