After attending Fan Faire 2008
this year, one thing has been made
crystal clear - the Vanguard:
Saga of Heroes team is even more passionate
about their game than I had guessed. Fan Faire 2008 may
have only taken place over a few days, but those days were jam packed
with running around trying to see and absorb everything. As such,
thanks for the patience with this week's newsletter being a day late!
The first thing I want to do is give the Vanguard team at Fan Faire a
huge round of applause. Even though there were only 4 or 5 official
panels on the schedule, the team spent more hours than you can count
talking with all of us. Whether it was morning, noon, or night, the
Vanguard team was always there, answering more questions than
you can imagine, some of which really
were a bit out there. Everyone on that team went out of their way to
make sure we all knew they were approachable and honestly looking
forward to answering any question we could throw at them.
To put things in
perspective, take a listen to
href="http://voyagesofvanguard.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/vov-episode-51-featuring-ichie-and-tons-about-lore/">Beau
and Luper's latest podcast, when they
had Vanguard Developer, Ichie on the show with them talking about lore
and answering questions for over 60 minutes. Got it in your head?
Excellent. Now gather that bit of information in your noggin, multiple
it by 72, and you're getting to close to the amount of interaction we
all had with the Vanguard team. If they were out and about
(whether it be at a panel, in the hallway,
at a party, trying to get something to eat), they were always happy to
talk with us and that level of
passion for a project just can't be faked.

hspace="10" vspace="5">Over the course of
the next
week, I'll be posting various tidbits of
information, along with a set of pictures from the Fan Faire. Some of
those pictures are from our first look at the upcoming new character
models. While I can't in all honesty say that I love all the new
models, I can say the majority of them are absolutely awesome. There
are a few models I'm not really fond of, but I'll reserve judgement
until I see them in action a bit more. Considering the fact that
they're also races that I have never played (nor planned on playing),
it's entirely possible I'm just biased against them.
I'll let
you decide for yourselves.
To avoid having the masses up in arms and ready to riot since they're
foaming at the mouth for information, let me get a few tidbits out
there to tease you.

hspace="10" vspace="5">I'll post more news
from the
event as I continue to recover from the
Las Vegas weekend and have a chance to go through my notes. There was
more information to be had than you could shake a stick at and
personally, I can't wait to do it all over again next year.
Before I sign off for today, I'd like to take a moment to give a
special thanks to all those that came up and talked to me about the
content here on Vanguard
at Ten Ton Hammer. Some was praise, some was not, but to each
and every
last one you, "Thank you". Without you coming here and
supporting us, we wouldn't be here, so if you're a fan of the site,
please let your friends know about us, especially with the Isle of Dawn
trial continually getting closer to release!
