8 US PVE
Thunderaxe
Florendyl - the official RP preferred server
Woefeather
Gulgrethor
Targonor
Hilsbury
Shidreth
Flamehammer

1 US PVP
Tharridon

1 US alt PVP
Varking


1 EU PVE
Gelenia

1 EU PVP
Frengrot
Unfortunatly I doubt the EU pvp server use the Good Vs Evil rules. I can't stand the free for all pvp so I guess it will either be the pve server - or Varking.

Edit: These are the 12 launch servers - they will add more servers laters.

Euro PvP server is team based - so it's Thestrans against Qalians against Kojans ..... a bit like Mids against Albs against Hibs really :)

more Euro servers coming in March for French and German players and some others I think - also a PvP Free for All server

Playing at the moment reminds me somewhat of Glastonbury - half the group being French but having to speak Frenglish - no doubt racial warfare will break out soon :D

Having said that, it's fun - good fun, even if all you want is something not demanding there's plenty of that too - don't knock it till you try it.
All chars retired, much as I loved DAOC nothing is for ever - but the first 2 years were the best imho :D

Umm..not sure what to say tbh :D I love it!

But the pvp..well, I think ill swap to a PvE server next week. The pvp is either free for all or good vs evil. Problem with good vs evil is that some of the people have been playing the beta alot - so it took 1day for the first group of enemies to find their way to where I was exping and start chainkilling me. As much as I like pvp - I do wanna be able to enjoy pve without the need of keeping an eye at enemy players. It runs great now, love the distant blur I added and the graphics are really nice. Entertaining quests too! The Player page is just amazing.

Check out how much info there is about players and the world!!!

I like the fact that if your the first player to find something or enter an area - this will be mentioned to others!

Edit: Oh, and with more than 100 emotes this is a great game for roleplayers :P (emotes with sound effects too..nice)

Lo folks,

I've been playing Vanguard since just before retail release and I really enjoy it. Graphics are simliar to camelot and interface is more like WoW. Which in my opinion is the best of both worlds.

There are still quite a few bugs, but they are ironing them out slowly.

I play on the U.S. servers as I don't want another Camelot PvP server where all the chat is in french and german and I don't speak either.

Playing a bard at the moment which is very good, you have to make all your own songs then macros to set your battle stances weapons and songs.

Diplomacy is interesting, it's basically a card game which I enjoy.

Crafting is very different to camelot and WoW, I've been told it's more like SWG crafting system, not that I'd know as never really played SWG.

The harvesting of materials is very similar to WoW.

One other good thing is that you have different set of clothes for adventuring, crafting, harvesting diplomacy and you set them all up seperatly. once thats done when ever you start to do one of them you automatically swap clothes.

Any I beter get back to work and if you wanna look me up, I'm on Shidreth (think thats the name). Characters are Fin, Scabs, Gibbler and Delath.
