DESCRIPTION
At launch, the focus of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is on Thestra, an area of Telon that is cursed by an undead menace. You begin your adventure in Thestra, picking from among 19 available races and 15 classes, then customizing the look of your character. Become a goblin bard or Elven rogue, and then walk into the sunlight of the area to greet other players looking for a battle, quest, or just a chat. Over time, other continents become available to explore including Qalia and Kojan.
Once you earn cash, you can buy a horse, a dragon, or boat to help you get around the large world of Telon. You can also purchase a house and put it in a zoned area for a safe place to keep your things, or use the land to harvest resources, set up a vendor's shop, or even build a factory to manufacture items. Skills such as blacksmithing, alchemy, and shipbuilding could make you a vital contributor the Telon economy, or bankrupt you and leave you with just the clothes on your back. Do you have a knack for public speaking? Become the leader of a guild, or start a new city that houses the best merchants, hunters, and entertainers in the entire area.
The landscape is much like the Earth of today and features plains, oceans, islands, swamps, deserts, mountains, and fields to explore. Creatures are as diverse as the environment of Telon, and include thinking animals with the ability to understand religion, and animals that are just there for the kill. Keith Parkinson designs the fantasy world of Telon, and Mystic's Emotion FX real-time animation technology fuels the game's character generation. It is intended to give characters distinct, unique, movement yet still allow for the sharing of most animations. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

Loved the crafting system and the macro system was barnone the best id seen in any game to date. Give the game another 6 months before it was released and it would have been a contender I believe.”

“After leaving EverQuest, I was searching for the perfect replacement MMORPG. I heard that some of the original designers of EverQuest were working on a new game, called Vanguad. I immediately became interested. This was the first game I got to Beta test, and I loved it, despite the constant bugginess (that never got fully resolved during the time I was playing). The world was beyond beautiful, it was breathtaking. I loved simply BEING in Vanguard. But the diplomacy and crafting were what made the game for me. Once again, Sony messed this up by killing the customer support. I have now vowed not to start another game that is being "hosted" by Sony, since it doesn't matter how good the game is, poor customer support will kill it. I'm still searching for the right replacement for Vanguard.”
