That said, there are a lot of old school EQ1 players who either aren't playing or have been waiting for Vanguard since EQ1 in another game - I think Sony were probably wise as I can see a lot of EQ2 players going for this instead - my old EQ2 guild will probably take a 30-40% hit in numbers, and thats just the people who are admitting they are going!!
It should probably be considered the true EQ2.
