MMORPG.com Community Manager, Laura Genender, takes a look at the world of Telon in her review of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.

Explaining Vanguard inevitably leads to explaining Vanguard's community. So, let's just start with it: yes, the game and the forums/fansites that support it are plagued with 'Fanbois' vs 'Haters' - the most heated faction warfare I have ever witnessed. Here, though, the rule of 'vocal minority' is in effect, and if you stay off of the forums and out of general chat, the majority of players are quiet and friendly (if you're not on a PvP server!).

According to unconfirmed sources like MMOGData.com, the Vanguard community is shrinking: what at launch had featured around 200k subscribers was down below 50k by May of '07. The PvP and Roleplay server populations are still rather steady, but the "normal servers" are practically ghost towns. When I created a character to explore one of those servers, I ran into another newbie who boldly stated "you're the 3rd person I've seen so far!"

Read the whole review here.

Cheers,
Jon Wood

From reading this the CONS outweigh the PROS.  I agree with this Review.  I will never play this game.

"pleasantly paralyzed"

Very....politic.....  

 

Nice review, however, can we get a second opinion, I feel there is a vested interest in this reviewer views.

Second opinion?  Man this game had soooo many bad reviews, how else do you want people to put it?  The game unfortunatly, just doesn't cut it.  I wish it did, such a shame.

I'm a new player and i don't agree w/ this review.. so much is left out, like the fact that it has one of the deepest crafting systems in mmo's.. and honestly i've seen lots of people on multiple servers noob zones.. i think the article misrepresents the facts.. 

in reality, the last week of me playing, 'ive seen an influx of former wow players.. odd...

 

It ain't dead yet ma..

 

Playing:

I feel this review was slanted, and pruned of the compleate truth.

 

 

I want someone who dosnt care in any direction, and not biased to review the game.

Don''t make me break out my flying monkeys.

He said he was able to solo well...did he play any of his characters past 20-25?  That's where it stopped dead for me.  Has something changed or did he not try to solo anything beyond level 25.
