Vanguard: Saga of Heroes -- I wish I had a good PC when this game first launched. I had missed the boat when I finally got to play it. Beautiful game world that looked straight out of a Keith Parkinson fantasy novel book cover. You could find a random dungeon in the game world and enter/exit with no loading screen. The loading between "chunks" in an otherwise seamless world was a bit annoying though. It was plagued with some horrible design choices. Group-based quest chains are terrible and Vanguard was plagued with group-based quest chains. If you could actually hit the level cap playing by yourself, it wouldn't matter how many people were playing, but I would always flame out around level 30-35 because I would start hitting walls of content that I couldn't progress through without other players. It was a pain getting players together to complete a lot of the content because the few who were playing the game were all max level.


This was the real Everquest sequel. I wish it would have caught on. I think it had the most potential.

EverQuest didn't force you to complete quest chains that required a group. Yes I realize there were epic weapon quests that literally required completing a raid, but it was so annoying in Vanguard to be on, for example, quest 5 of 10 of a chain and your group have to leave. When you go back to the area, you spend forever trying to find a group that's on the exact quest that you are on.
