Awesome, nice stuff :D. Actually looks like a genuinely impressive game… I think you could be a bit more human though and seem more casual and relaxed, maybe throw in some humor here and there and not seem like you're doing a school presentation about some area of Science :P Nice though :D Need moar!

Around 30 hours, I was on the beta for quite a while, but since the review it's probably been another 20.

The thing about the bugs disappearing isn't entirely accurate, there are still plenty of bugs (which don't ruin the gameplay) and I'd like to have gone into more detail about crafting and diplomacy. It's not an easy game by any means, but in three mins it's difficult to cover every aspect of the game. I'm writing a feature on Vanguard in which I'll go into more detail. Going to wait for about a month though, so Sigil have time to iron out the problems.

The game wasn't really ready to be released, but Sigil committed to that date. The bug reporting system is superb and I've got every confidence that the game will be a huge success. It needs a month or so to settle down.

I'm on the Lord of the Rings Online beta and at the moment LOTRO wins, Vanguard is far darker and far more complicated, which is great for a challenge, but LOTR is magical. More on Lord of The Rings Online when the NDA lifts in a few weeks!

If I wasn't too busy doing other things I'd dearly love to sign up to both.
