Vanguard Status Report

Keeping gamers 'in the know', Sigil Games' Brad McQuaid has posted a lengthy status report on the official Vanguard: Saga of Heroes forums regarding the future of their MMORPG and the company itself. One of the more interestings things revealed is that Sony Online will be taking on a larger role with the game, even hinting at a possible acquisition. Snip:

"SOE is in discussions with Sigil regarding the future of Vanguard and Sigil Games in Carlsbad. Talks are going well and first and foremost, our primary concern right now is what's best for Vanguard and its community. We want to ensure that this game and its community have a healthy future. The specifics that we work out over the coming days will all be with that single goal in mind."

What does that mean? It means that right now Vanguard is doing decently but not as well as we hoped. If you haven't read my last long post that outlined some of the things that went wrong during development, etc., please do. So the bottom line is that SOE is going to be getting more involved with Sigil and Vanguard - our relationship is going to become even tighter - much tighter. At this point I can't say much more than that.

Does this mean an acquisition? I can't say at this point.

He also talks about Vanguard's high system requirements, future content updates and the MMO genre in general. It's a pretty interesting read. So check it out!
