Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

After recently finding that Brad McQuaid was back on the net and putting himself out there professionally, he finally speaks to his fans. Find out what he has been up to, what he thinks went wrong with Vanguard, and what he plans on doing next!

As many of you know, Vanguard didn’t do so hot when it was released. The bottom line was that it was released too early -- we needed at least another 6 months to further optimize and to debug. Although almost 200,000 people signed up right away, the vast majority of players quit the game by level 2 or 3. This leads me to believe that most people’s issue was performance. Yes there were bugs, and yes there were too many servers at launch, making it difficult to find other people and to successfully group. But the biggest issue was that the game simply ran horribly slow. Now while I’m not trying to cry over spilt milk, I would encourage people who tried Vanguard and left, as well as those who never tried it, to give it a shot.
