Nick Parkinson Talks to
Ten Ton Hammer About Beta 5
You weren't expecting it, but here it is--open beta for Vanguard: Saga
of Heroes is coming your way early next month. Reactions have varied
from elation to skepticism to denial. And, of course, there's plenty of
speculation. Sigil's community manager, Nick Parkinson, took the time
to answer our questions about open beta and lay the speculation to rest.
[NP]: It’s just the right time for beta 5 to start. I think
our unusually long prior phases probably threw some folks off and they
(understandably) assumed the final two phases would be equally long.
Fortunately, we’re at the point where they don’t
need to be now and we feel the month or so that beta 4 will have lasted
when we move on to beta 5 will be sufficient.
