The maiden voyage of the Raiders Digest!
Recent Vanguard SOH changes:
We’ve seen plenty of game patches since the January, 31st release. Most were really the finishing touches on the game that Sigil (under pressure from SOE) released several months earlier than announced/expected.
Nah-sayers have blasted Vanguard as being riddled with problems, from glitches to poor performance, giving the game much undeserved negative press. Still, even die hard fans have admited that its sometimes like playing ‘beta-in-a-box’. Refering to the fact that the game still has the sort of glitches you might expect in a beta release, but usually aren’t required to endure once you’re paying for the game.
Game revisions have included improvements to performance, removal of countless bugs, changes to experience gains, class skills & damage scales, basic crafting mechanics, and a number of other basic game elements from sound & graphics to character animations.

Recent VanguardMMORPG.com changes:
Since around November of 2006 I’ve been working on VanguardMMORPG.com. I’ve added a ton of information from racial & class overviews to detailed dungeon guides. With your help I’ll continue to work on getting posting more guides and information.
Vanguard Dungeon reviews:
We’ve added a whole section of dungeon reviews. We’ve only reviewed a handful of dungeons so far, but have gotten a lot of great response from community members (THANKS!)
