- Vanguard: Saga of Heroes: 10-30 General Guide
While some of the critism posted here is fair, it is also based IMO on old information. Vanguard has seemingly gotten it's act together finally over the last couple of months and is a very playable game at this point. While it is dissappointing that it took this long to get it together, as someone who used to follow the development of Vanguard, I am happy to be in the game and enjoying it a lot. Vanguard is a PvE game, so people into PvP will not have much use for it. Vanguard is a more open sandbox than a lot of games out there.
I've played many of the MMO's out there and for myself, while I am not a fan of SOE at all, my money goes into Vanguard and into Eve. Both outstanding examples of open sandbox MMO's. This is not to say that WoW, WAR, ect. are bad games. Indeed they are excellent games and do appeal to a mass majority. However, there is still room for niche markets in the MMO genre, and Vanguard fills one of those niches nicely.
As to answer the poll question, yes Vanguard deserves to still be front page news. Indeed so much is happening around Vanguard right now and a lot of players are either coming here for the first time or coming back, that it is newsworthy. By all accounts, Vanguard looks like it is coming on strong, though the next few months will be the telling ones, if SOE can keep the subscriber base happy and keep attracting players to or back to Vanguard. This IMO is newsworthy stuff.

- EVE Online: Surviving Your First War
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your comments on my first article as an Eve Correspondant. Thanks in particular for the correction about the loss of skillpoints. As mentioned in the article, this was my first WarDec, and was definately a unique situation, as it is for anyone during their first time.
I look forward to future articles here and indeed have quite a lineup coming in the near future. See you all then and thanks again for your support!
Sam
