Vanguard:SOH personal impressions

[Gorthu]

Yeah. I triple boxed it with keyclone. I quit VG because they closed the Team PvP server and went to only FFA.

however, if i played today, I'd triple-box using two comps and not one. IF nothing has changed, the key to loading them into keyclone and the Maximizer is to be in window mode and to use the ADD button on the main window of Keyclone; this adds the game window to keyclones list; then right-click on the game list in keyclone to select a maximizer region.

Well full disclosure I'm a sucker for EQ. It was my first MMO and it has nostalgiac qualities. Playing on FV with a group of 1 cleric, 1 bard (was a chanter but they're kind of useless now), 4 mages I'm having a blast. Server is multiboxer friendly it seems and have already met some cool people in game (which is odd).

But I have no idea what the state of end game is - I just enjoy the grind playing an efficient group. Im looking forward to building some wealth and doing a melee group.

I jumped into a body of water that I know used to be easily gotten out of but that was not the case. Had to drown myself. I think they screwed up some of the water physics and never bothered to fix it because being in water at all (even with higher swimming) is not a pleasant experience.

Well i loaded up the 14 day trial. Created two accounts. Two gnome necromancers. Cant get keyclone to pass the keys to the second client. Playing both on one computer. Course im a computer idiot. Running them in windowed mode on two screens. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

After 2 boxing a Warr / Cleric and then Sorc / Monk to 50 it gets very grindy in all spheres (Craft, Diplomacy, Raiding). The ride to 50 for me was much better than actually being 50.

Vanguard was a sad out come for what could of been a truly great game but was ruined by the grind mentality and countless bugs.

That being said I have very fond memories of Telon and its mob and landscape beauty.

The past couple of days I was trying to test out Vanguard to see how multiboxable it was. So, I created 6 trial accounts got everything up and working and played a bit to level 4 or so. Next day, all accounts gone. So I figured that maybe it was because I forgot to verify my email address. I went through the entire process again, played a different set of 6 toons to about level 4 again. Tonight, I try to log in again and all my accounts were gone....again. I suppose it could be anti-spam or something, but geeze, it's a trial and on a "trial island".



Next, I try to go to the official forums and put a post and ask for some help. You think I could actually create an account and make a post?? Hell no. Not only is it confusing as all hell, but once I actually logged in with a new account the forums were basically not there. I assume because I wasn't a paying player.



How the hell does this company expect to get new players when it's such BS to even try to play the trial? Setting up an account and the software was pretty bad IMO too. No wonder this game has been a complete failure.



Also, although this thread is old, Epi you need to run Keyclone as administrator to get it to work.
