Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Set Yourself Free Video

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is an MMO that could have become so much more. With the funding Sigil received to create Vanguard, the game simply couldn't fail according to speculators. They were wrong. This is a perfect example (and it's used often) of how money can't buy you everything.

There were so many that wanted Vanguard to be their new MMO, but most realized very early that Vanguard would never become what Sigil had promised. Somewhere and somehow, something went terribly wrong.

Now, several patches later and with SOE in charge, Vanguard is a bit better. There's been numerous optimizations done so the game actually run decently. Sadly, there's not that many players left and the development team is small.

The video below is made by fans and it's really bringing forth the good sides of Vanguard, definitely a must see.

    Very good video. Really makes me want to go play vanguard again, and then I realize how disappointed I was after waiting close to a year with promised raid content for it to never be released.

    Please please please consider playing Vanguard again. This game could definitely be everyone's next mmo, it has a mixture of everything people want. It has been improved SO much that it is just amazing now. They are making new character models this summer as well as a trial island, and you can pick this game up for like $10 in some stores..

    Take advantage of the low prices while you can, because its only going to go up. All this game needs now to make it perfect is a larger playerbase. I'm not saying everything is fixed, but with a larger playerbase = more funding = an improved game all around. I can't even describe how much this game offers, but this video really shows the good sides.

    There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Vanguard now. It runs so smoothe, plenty of quests, plenty of reputation/faction to grind for cool mounts/items, Awesome spells and a ton of them. I mean, the game is just ***. I don't remember ever having as much fun going 1+ on a game as on vanguard, mount at lvl 10, good AH, good cities, rentable flying mounts, riftways to portal you from place to place. Good crafting system and very fun/rewardable gathering system. You get to build your own houses and get paid to build houses for other people and build your own furniture ( of any kind ) to place into it. You get kick ass spells like turning into a fiery bird and pew pewing stuff, or summoning the bird as your pet when you're in your normal form. The graphics are just shmexy though, completely swaying trees, mountains in the back, nice water, moving grass. Pretty much, all the people who have been saying fix it, fix it, well, it's been fixed. I started playing it about a month ago, after quiting AoC, and the servers have gone from "low" to all being "medium" now. Most of the player are ones who have left from AoC and Wow for now so it's filling up quite fast. Bunch of raiding guilds set up already and it's a fresh start for anyone who wants one, without AoC's shitty bugs and crashes.
