it is probably because SOE have recently taken over Vanguard, that there is no new content, yet, eventually they'll pick up the pace, but i guess their still sorting things out at their end. only being able to group once a week or so, i guess the servers are emptier than i thought, in WOW at least you get to group whenever you want to, several times a day anyway, most people group just for a specific quest, or group of quests, though im guessing that Vanguard would be the same if there were more players, hopefully people will pick up the game more, the biggest problem is that because Vanguard needs a relatively high spec computer to play at a decent resolution, it puts a lot of people off, i can play WOW on my laptop without any problems, which is great for me, but Vanguard won't run on it, or at least, not playably. its a shame really because Vanguard definitely is one of the most beautiful games i've seen for a long while, and it has horses :D
