Sigil Games Online and Microsoft have launched the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes official site. The usual goodies can be found including Concept Art, Lore, Forums, FAQ and a searchable Bestiary (which I couldn't get to work). Here's a snip from the front page:Vanguard: Saga of Heroes will be the premier third generation massively multiplayer RPG. A vast, seamless, immersive virtual world filled with elements of familiar High Fantasy, including traditional themes and more, all depicted using cutting-edge graphics technology. Sigil’s expertise and experience in the field will bring groundbreaking static and dynamic content to the genre. Vanguard will build upon the successes and strengths of earlier MMOGs to improve popular game mechanics and features, but also address these pioneering games’ mistakes and deficiencies. Vanguard will focus heavily on interdependence, challenge, and reward, while simultaneously addressing tedious and annoying issues, including camping, excessive downtime and more.
Despite all sorts of info about Sigil's goals with this title, I really couldn't find much that tells me what it's all about. |
