Description

Welcome to my EQ2 Relaxation Spa.

From Wikipedia: "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes was a high fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Sigil Games Online and published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE). The game was released on January 30, 2007 and initially sold around 242,000 copies, while the number of active subscriptions (those who play longer than the free month included when buying the game) was estimated to be around 130,000, to drop in the next months to about 40,000. On May 15, 2007, it was announced in a press release that Sony Online Entertainment had acquired key assets from Sigil Games Online, including all rights to Vanguard. Following the acquisition by SOE, the focus shifted to bug fixes and gameplay improvements, allowing the game to reach a more presentable state by July, 2008. On September 10, 2008, Game Update 6 introduced the trial island, the Isle of Dawn, which also became the standard starting area for new regular characters. On October 8, 2008, the trial version was released. On August 14, 2012, Vanguard transitioned to a free to play model. The game was officially shut down on July 31, 2014." /end of quote.

Personal notes: Even though Vanguard Saga of Heroes was shut down eventually, just like Star Wars Galaxies, the vision it had still lives on in many old-school gamers from the golden age alias golden era of mmorpgs. To us games like Everquest (2), Vanguard, SWG and DCUO are the sweetspot of mmorpg games. This video series ("The Colors of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes") is a tribute to this beautiful virtual reality and my way of showcasing its grand vision. Make no mistake, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes was basically Star Wars Galaxies in a high-fantasy-theme in terms of vision, scale, size, scope, openness, variety, complexity - and so much more. See my comment below this video for more information.
