Considering returning to Vanguard after however many years since playing a few months into launch. Have made the usual circuit of MMOs, but have them all lacking the lasting impression made by the scope and breadth of this one. However, I do have a few questions that I'd be much obliged to have answered before I start getting too gung-ho about things.
Firstly, after installing the game from the packaged disc, approximately how many gigs of updates will I have to sit through before I'm ready to jet set go? I live in a rural part of the states where we not only pay for bandwidth by the gigs, but also have to suffer through nutsty connection speeds. I need to know if will push me over my monthly 10 gig or so bandwidth cap in updates and I also need to ballpark how long it'll take to download it all in the first place ( my guess is approximately five hours a gig ).
Secondly, when I first started playing, they talked about offering cloaks with hoods that could be toggled on and off, a dressing room function ( item previewer ), and that someday we'd be able to wear helmets. I'm a very passionate fan of aesthetics, you see, and these kind of things are important to me. Also, is character customization on the same level of relative sophistication that it was on release?
Thirdly, what's the general population on Seradon? I'm looking to possibly strike up my own guild if the pickings are slim.
I suppose that about sums everything up. My thanks to anyone who answers these questions for me.
