Arrrr... Pirates of the Burning Sea!

Arrrr... Pirates of the Burning Sea!

Submitted by lifebane on Jun 28th, 2007

Greetings all. When I first noted this news item at Vanguard Players I had thought it perhaps an expansion for VG. Silly me yes I know. But I did find a positive spin to yet another marketing effort shoved in my face. Perhaps VG will be able to benefit from this game by borrowing / copying their naval combat system!

Lifebane's Guide to Pets and Minions

Submitted by lifebane on Jun 21st, 2007

Greetings fellow necromancers. I was wandering through the dark halls of our humble community when I noticed something rather annoying.

For size comparison... [read more]

SOE has gone ahead and introduced us to another of the dev / design team over at the Vanguard Players site in an article called Meet John Hegner from Vanguard !

New playable races?!?!

New playable races?!?!

Submitted by lifebane on Jun 11th, 2007

Now when I first saw this latest news update on Vanguard Players I was absolutely certain that it must be somehow related to Vanguard... a promo maybe, cross selling initiative or some such. I mean SOE wouldn't be so obviously trying to market and make a buck, even if it was not in the least bit relevant. Noooooo, they wouldn't do that.

Oh wait, didn't they try to get everyone to... [read more]
