Vanguard - Saga of Heroes Released
An anonymous reader writes "After years of promises and fan hype, Sigil Games Online and SOE has released Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. I've been playing the pre-release the last few days and I've been really enjoying it. I scoffed at the idea of diplomacy in a MMOG, but Sigil has done something with it I've never seen before. They made it a card game...within a game. MMORPG.com has a preview of the Beta game, and Gamespy offers up out of the box impressions of the game on Launch day. GameTrailers has a launch day trailer and dragon mount video to give you an idea of what it looks like in action. Whether the game turns out well or not, the fans are happy that it is finally on the shelves."
As much as I want to hear what you're saying, I can't change the fact that supporting V:SoH supports Sony (SoE) in turn. Maybe it's FUD and I'm making the wrong stand? Who knows.
I know everyone hates WoW.. it's slashdot, everyone here hates the 500lb gorillas. And who can blame them? But I have to say ... The WoW expansion is a work of art, pure and simple. Not only are the outdoor envronments beautiful, and I mean staggeringly so, but now you have flying mounts and casual friendly avenues to advancement. And yet raiding will still yield you the best gear all around. Just not as much better as it was pre-expansion. But still, better. Probably enough to satiate the hardcore raiders.
It's just.. almost perfect. V: SoH is nowhere near that.
