Of all its features, I think the game's hardcore nature is really its most polarizing aspect. It's complex and it's hard to say whether the massive numbers of new MMO players coaxed in by WoW will be ready to move on to something that might be more demanding. More than one review will undoubtedly refer to Vanguard as Everquest's true spiritual successor and I'll probably agree with them. The game really feels like the early days of MMOs when games were trying a lot of new things. The most recent generation of MMOs has found unprecedented success in refining what we've learned and what we know works, but it's refreshing to play a game branching out into new territory. The new territory is large and I haven't even gotten into what the game is doing with mounts, player-made boats, and personal housing. It will be interesting to see how these work out as a player moves into the higher levels of the game and I'll keep MMOWatch informed as I do.
