The official website for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes has become fully operational. The official game description is also revealed and we have concept art obtained from Sigil.

Eagerly and curiously anticipated, Sigil has decided to officially let the world know about their game, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes through the unveiling of their website (http://www.vanguardsagaofheroes.com/) (not just the teaser anymore) and release of an official description of the game.
Here is their official description:



"Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is a High Fantasy themed Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) with a heavy focus on character development, an immersive world and player interdependence.
</p>


Imagine a vast, detailed world of swords and sorcery, of dragons and knights, of fiery swords and chests overflowing with treasure… a world in which a myriad of sentient races and creatures, many upon which players will be able base a character, live and affect change. A place where the characters players create can follow very different paths of advancement, including assuming the roles of adventurers, crafters, merchants, and more.
</p>


The goal of Sigil Games Online is to make Vanguard: Saga of Heroes the premier third generation massively multiplayer RPG. To meet the growing demand for a game that advances the multiplayer fantasy genre, Sigil is using the combined experience and creativity of its team to bring players a new and challenging feature set with deep, involving game content. Vanguard is prepared to lead the way in subscription based revenue games."

Curioser and curioser as Alice would say. The Safehouse of course will be bringing you the latest news that we can wring out of a certain gnome on our staff... um I mean that we can obtain through completely legal means.



In order to consolidate this information, we will be opening a Vanguard dedicated wing to The Safehouse. But for now enjoy these concept art shots from Sigil Games Online: Drake (http://www.thesafehouse.org/~fricka/vanguard/Drake1.jpg) , Salamander (http://www.thesafehouse.org/~fricka/vanguard/salamander1.jpg) , Castle New Targonor (http://www.thesafehouse.org/~fricka/vanguard/CastleNewTargonorColorFlat.jpg)

WOOT! another fantasy based MMORPG! that's what the market has been lacking!



ok so that was expected, still had been holding out that they might try to branch out into something else.

Very nice concept art though. I'm sure the game will do very well. I've jsut become a bit jadedI guess.

I was praying for Shadowrun, or at least maybe Earthdawn.

And I'm still pissed about the Aradune transfer thing.

They posted a dumb little story about how Aradune came to find himself on this new world thingy.

It reminds me of when a gamemaster keeps bringing back the same NPC's, who were all old PC's of his or his friends at some point.

If you're making a break from EQ, I want a clean slate damnit.

oh like he was going to get rid of Aradune. Apparently it's an old D&amp;D character of his who followed to Meridian or some other mud, then into EQ. he's like my old DM's "Bob the bartender" he in every campaign, no matter what setting it is heh.
