Gamersinfo on Vanguard

Technically it is spam, I get newsletter from Gamersinfo which I haven't subscribed to, and there is no way to unsubscribe. But obviously I prefer game related spam to the more usual sort of Nigerian millions, or herbal Viagra. And the Gamersinfo site isn't all that bad, sometimes they write interesting reviews. So I'm linking the Gamersinfo E3 preview of Vanguard here.

The review shares my mixed feelings about Vanguard. This could either be the next big thing, or it could crash and burn and finally bury the original "Vision" of Everquest. It is impossible for me to tell before I have played it. What it promises is slow leveling, but interesting slow leveling. If you consider that WoW's main flaw is that the 1 to 59 game ends too early, that could be a good thing. But if they lied about the interesting part, and Vanguard leveling is the old Everquest grinding and camping treadmill, Vanguard could be really bad. We will have to wait and see.
