Greetings fellow necromancers of Telon, you who frolic through the fields of the rottingly friendly cadavers.

"But Lifebane you said we couldn't vote til Monday!" pfft. You can only vote once so it makes no... [read more]

Server Merges to Begin Tuesday, August 28th

Submitted by lifebane on Aug 20th, 2007

Well my fellow necros, it seems as if the much awaited merging of the servers has arrived.  Hopefully this will go off without a hitch but in all likelyhood we should expect some problems at least the first one or two times.. hopefully after that they will have a better understanding of the process.  Good luck all!  See you on Seradon! 

As seen at the vanguard players site: 

The much anticipated server merges will begin on Tuesday, August 28th at... [read more]

Submit a Graft! Graft Depository enhancement.

Submitted by lifebane on Aug 17th, 2007

Greetings fellow defilers of dead things. The illustrious Code Monkey (aka Jonaphin) has churned us out a quick enhancement to the Graft Depository. This feature is a Submit a Graft function. When you go to the Graft Depository you will see a text link beneath the title bar that says "Submit a Graft" Click that link and the rest should be self explanatory.

Now we can all begin to update the new grafts that are discovered. The submissions will be live in the Graft... [read more]

Submitted by lifebane on Aug 15th, 2007

Greetings fellow vgnecro citizens.  News from the halls of SOE has arrived that bids farewell to Ellionia.  It seems she has gone off to another project and will no longer be our community rep.  Stepping up to the plate now is Ellyra.  Here is her official "hello" post.

"I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to those of you in the Vanguard community who have not seen me around before. My name's Julie (aka Ellyra) and I'm the new... [read more]

Greetings fellow fondlers of things recently deceased. Word has reached my pointy blue ears of something strange brewing over at SOE, and no I don't mean Cylus's Spiced Berry Tea! It seems that SOE has worked an arrangement that would let them create a new fantasy based MMO game off of a Comic Series called Ramayan 3392 A.D.
I know, I know...... [read more]

Greetings, Vanguardians of all realms!

I would like to announce our latest feature, coming right from the deep burning subterranean factory where all things VGNecro are whipped up to life. Did I say whipped? Yes I did.

His Evilness Lifebane has reached the minuscule limit of his patience, and ordered me flogged for eternity for not working on the site while in vacation. Nevertheless, in a - very - short twitch of generosity His Cruel Majesty has offered me a deal which, for... [read more]

How to turn anything into Undead.. the necro trick

How to turn anything into Undead.. the necro trick

Submitted by lifebane on Aug 2nd, 2007

Greetings my macabre brother and sister necromancers of Telon. It has come to my attention that not all necros are conniving enough to think of how best to use their evil little necro abilities and the most unique trick in the Necromancer's arsenal escapes them. What am I babbling about this time you say? Well read on and learn.

Necromancers can mez undead... quite useful for those undead infested regions of Telon to be certain. Sadly though, it is utterly useless against the... [read more]
