We recently received this video from Sigil/SOE highlighting some of the hot features in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. In it you will see flying mounts, a flying city, never-before-seen zones, combat and player-owned boats!

MMORPG.COM – Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

I’ve been largely unimpressed with images/videos of Vanguard so far, but this relatively short Flash video would seem to get across what they’re ‘going for’ a lot better than previous attempts. The ‘free yourself’ tag-line, combined with the mounts and boats does a good job of intriguing the viewer about the inherent possibilities of the gameworld. Good show, Sigil/SOE folk.

    At least Turbine has the balls to post a REAL VIDEO of LotRO even if it was a borefest. Look under the flashy taglines and quick cuts of this video. It is the same mind numbing gameplay that you were against in the LotRO video. Except Vanguard will have 100x more grind and boredome included. At least the LotRO world of Middle Earth has some value to the inner geek in all of us.

    Vanguard is no good… they still can’t pull more than 50-100 testers at a time in their world. Even with 10,000’s of invites out there.
