So I finally Decided to break down and give Sony another try after what they did to the Star Wars Galaxies players with the NGE change. I picked up Vanguard so first impressions was it seems to Lack the Polish of World of Warcraft but seems more polished that the other competition I was Able to get the game to run fairly well on my computer which is a 2.4 p4 with a 9800 all in wonder and a gig of RAM. These are practically the system requirements for the game. The world is Huge and with the massive number of playable races most with there own starting cities is impressive to say the least. you get your first mount at level 10 and it's only a few silver a very reasonable price. Players later in the game have an option of player housing on not instanced housing like EQ2 but you purchase lots of land and build a house there. The houses are player made and you can purchase furnisher which is also player made to customize your how home very SWG like also guild halls will be player made also. Crafting has never been done better while you are working on crafting skills you can do work orders which don't require harvested components and make a bit of money also. Harvest is usually done at nodes or by hunting depending on what you need you will need harvested component to make items to sell or use yourself. Next is the Diplomacy system it's played like a card battle mini game and actually has strategy and fun in it neither it or crafting are boring both are a very fun and interesting sides of the game.
