Normally the posts were from people saying that they want fast grind or a game more solable... And the posts saying that no instancing was a very bad idea. Fisrt time I entered a VSoH I saw why make that dungeons instanced is the real bad idea... These people have an axe to grind. Basically, they want an WoW's clone. And burn at stakes everyone that say the Earth is not flat... “These games are journeys, and not destinations.”

lol

Yes It is faster get from level 1 to level 50 soloing? No." See, now I'm happy. I'm in no hurry to hit level 50. I spent more than a year in EQ2 before hitting it, and never managed in EQ1. If the rest of the experience is enjoyable, who cares ? There's many spheres to the game and many places to progress. These games are journeys, and not destinations. “You can go from level 1 to elvel 50 solo? Yes

It is faster get from level 1 to level 50 soloing? No.”

There are a lot of 2 dots mobs out the dungeons for farm. There are solo quests you can get as missives. But the dugneons mobs are 3 got to above, they are group mobs. You can go from level 1 to elvel 50 solo? Yes It is faster get from level 1 to level 50 soloing? No. For some people that makes a diference. WoW have only two modes: solo to level 60, raiding at level 60. VSoH have 3 modes: grouping, solo and raiding. Aparently to have teh group mode is against the Second Sacred WoW's Commandement... Oh, but I am evidently a vanboy... so discard my comments... (I know you will not discard my comments, but see it... other bloggers are prone to name me a "vanboy" and discard my opinion, because the only opinion that they care is an opinion AGAINST VSoH.)

"2- it is group based - “All MMO Will Be a Solo Game”" If it's not soloable at some point I'm going to be angry. It totally is right now, with optional grouping points. But that also depends on your tolerance for grinding, which I have a high tolerance on. Joao – that’s funny, “tolkien-boyism” hadn’t occured to me.

Could it have been that wrong ? My experience emphatically says NO, This Game is Great, but I’m still below level 20." The problem with the critics to VSoH is that they have an axe to grind. See you, VSoH go against the Holy Trynity Sacred Cannon from WoW: 1- no instances - "All MMO Will Have Instances" 2- it is group based - "All MMO Will Be a Solo Game" 3- have a slow grind - "All MMO Will Be Easy Like WoW" Everyone that don't like VSoH because it go against the Sacred Cannon say that who like the game is a fanboy. It is an easy way to discard ANY good opinion about VSoH, anyone that have a good opinion is a fanboy (or worse, a vanboy). Only bad opinions about VSoH are accepted... Well, there is an irony if you don't perceived. The same guys that hate VSoH are loving LOTRO. However, the thing that bring more interest to LOTRO is just the place, Middle Earth, from the Tolkien's books and the movies. What is the name for this phenomenum? Fanboism? ;) Geregor Bedstone dwarf cleric 13 / armorsmith 17 “I mean, every pre-release thing I heard made me think I’d hate the game. Could it have been that wrong ?

Yeah I beta Lotr too, but I didn't see anything special in it any different than EQ2, but I didn't play it long. It was actually my hubby beta account and I gave it a whirl just to take a peek. So I will prob try it again. I have the same problem. I didn't care for vanguard so that wasn't a biggie, but if I did decide to give lotro a shot, well potbs is coming out in june. I know I want to play that! So I guess I know I will have to skip lotro and wait for POTBS because I have been following that game for a long time now! LOL….
