Vanguard SOH Maps

One thing that seems hard to find this early in the game is maps of the continents. As we progress in levels, we are compelled to explore new regions. Here are links to some maps that I have found useful. They are on one of my favorite sites, TenTonHammer:

It's all about the f(r)action in Vanguard

As a wise, dusty maintenance engineer once told us, it's all about the fraction...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Beta Review

Well, the NDA is lifted on this game, so I can let you all know what I have found so far. I haven't spent an abundance of time in game yet, but what I have seen so far, I like.

I haven't seen anything particularly innovative yet, but they seem to have plugged in some of the best features of some of the most popular games in to make a "super game" with very nice graphics. The quest system/leveling is very World of Warcraft(WoW)-ish. The pace of the combat and spell systems are very EverQuest(EQ)-ish. The faction system is very Dark Age of Camelot(DAoC), with 3 distinct, allied "nations." The graphics remind me very much of Guild Wars. The housing system is suppsed to be very Star Wars Galaxies (SWG), though I haven't seen that yet. The transportation system sounds like it will be fairly unique. It will be somewhat like Wow, only you control your own mount (boat, griffon, dragon, horse, etc.).

From an economy standpoint, it looks to be a hybrid. I wouldn't say that it is going to be like any other trade/economy system that I have seen. More like parts from many others. Here is a link to their official website: http://www.vanguardsoh.com/

Look for more updates as it comes closer to the un-official release date (1/29).
