Holy Blue Names, Batman!

It's the Blue Names (aka - developers)! Or rather, it's one important Blue Name in particular: Aradune Mithara. Those who are intimately involved with the Vanguard community know Aradune as Brad McQuaid, CEO of Sigil Games Online and Executive Producer of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. While the community is poised on the next phase of the game's beta testing, dubbed Beta 3, McQuaid took some time to answer questions on the official Vanguard forums (OVF). When might Beta 3 begin and when should you start haunting your inbox for an invite? Forget the dev tracker--read our compilation of the most recent McQuaid posts to find out.

"The big question on everyone's mind is, of course: when is Beta 3 going to begin? Fans were told that they should expect the next phase of beta to begin by the end of July. If you've checked your calendar, you'll see that the July date simply isn't going to happen."
