Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) developed by Sigil Games Online, and co-published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE). SOE purchased the rights to the game in late 2006 and a portion of the original Sigil team went to work on the game at the SOE San Diego studios.

Among the novelties that the seamless world of Telon boasts are numerous mounts (including flying mounts), a crafting system through which players contribute to the building of a house or a ship on player-owned land, dozens of adventuring, artisan, and diplomat classes, and a unique TCG-style diplomacy mini-game.

SOE announced in March 2012 that Vanguard would be going free-to-play. On August 7th, 2012, SOE soft launched Vanguard's free-to-play model.

    5 Free MMOs You Should Try

    Every gamer knows this feeling: You’ve been playing Game X for quite a while now and, while you were having fun with it, for whatever reason the thrill is currently gone. Maybe you’ll get back to the game later--in fact, you most likely will--but for now you’re in a slump. Sure, you could give up gaming for a while, but you’re no quitter.

    Sony Downtime Continues as Some Personal Details Leak to Outdated Website

    Sony downtime continues this week as additional security work on Playstation Network, Qriocity and Sony Online Entertainment systems remains in testing. Details of 2500 contest entrants were leaked and removed from a dated Sony website last week following rumored reports of a weekend attack. Is Sony secure enough to have services restored by the end of the month as many speculate?
