Newer games are diluting the traditional MMO model with easier progression, instanced content, increasing soloability, and a determination to please the casual player. Almost all of the new MMOs announced at E3 follow this EQ-lite model. Vanguard distinguishes itself from the pack by focusing on socialization (putting the MM back in MMORPG), a massive immersive world, and a long-term challenge. Vanguard won't be for everybody, but it stands alone offering a deep, complex, long-term game, while the competition takes the WoW model and simplifies it down even further, offering quick and easy gameplay and instant gratification. If you don't want what Sigil's going to offer, that's cool, but for those who do, it's Vanguard or bust.
