How will Vanguard handle your demise?
It's a bit morbid around the network today, death is topic of discussion.
Birds chirping high above and the rustle of leaves can be heard as I emerge from the tunnel that leads to the safety of home. My long robe sways slightly as the breeze catches the hem. I causously make my way down the hill to a well worn path. A slight buzzing can be heard, turning to my right I find a huge wasp.
Murmuring the incantation the wasp begins to choke. Angrily he begins to sting me, using my staff I begin to beat upon it until it falls lifeless to the ground. Victory! Thwap Ouch! Thawp Turning I find myself face to face with an angry orc. My palms begin to sweat as I try to murmur the incantation, without success. In a few well placed blows he has me battered and beaten upon the grass, life slipping away.
At Vanguard - Ten Ton Hammer, Niborea takes a look at her experiences with death in EQ and how it is currently being handled in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
