Brads big news revealed.. kinda.

Brads big news revealed.. kinda.

Submitted by lifebane on Apr 30th, 2007

Greetings once again. Brad McQuaid makes good on his post to post made earlier. Here is his rather lengthy state of the game and the hints at changes in the works regarding the relationship that SOE currently has with Sigil. What does this mean to us, the actual Vanguard paying customer? Who knows at this point, but I am most certain we will be watching this very closely as the situation further develops.

Brad posts to say he will post about SOE / Sigil News!

Brad posts to say he will post about SOE / Sigil News!

Submitted by lifebane on Apr 29th, 2007

Greetings fellow necromancers. Strange tidings in the wind. It seems Brad McQuaid, aka Aradune, posted that he would be posting some news about the SOE / Sigil relationship. Nothing of this has been seen yet but speculation leans towards SOE having purchased Vanguard from Sigil or something along the financial lines.

This is strictly conjecture at this point but it has most certainly caused quite the buzz. We will have to see what news we have tomorrow from the Lord of Vanguard,... [read more]

Vanguard Patch Notes 4/25/2007

Submitted by lifebane on Apr 25th, 2007


GAMEPLAY NOTES
- Riftway Stones have appeared at several altars throughout Telon and will allow faster transit through their magic. Scholars believe that these stones have simply been “out of phase” with the rest of Telon since the time of the cataclysm. In order to use a Riftway Stone to teleport you must acquire a Riftway Shard – now available at general goods vendors.
- Travelers must attune at each Riftway Stone in order to... [read more]

The Shadowhound Mount Quest Guide

Submitted by lifebane on Apr 20th, 2007

So you are tired of riding a horse around? You are not too keen on the idea on being a panzy Necro and riding menacingly across the lands on your... unicorn??! Well then fellow necromancer, the Shadowhound is the beast for you. This mount can be obtained by doing a few (cough cough) quests for those smelly little goblins over in Martok. Read on to learn what must be done... it's a small quest... won't take long at all (cough cough) really!

VGNecros Second Featured Writer joins the crew

VGNecros Second Featured Writer joins the crew

Submitted by lifebane on Apr 19th, 2007

Greetings fellow necromancers. If the previous two news items were not a hint, we have a new featured writer submitting their stories to vgnecro.com. This new writer is called Vanelir and as you will see, his writing style is different than our resident story teller Aarian but so far he seems to have the dark heart of a necro storyteller beating within him. With both of these talented writers telling us their tales it should definitely help to satisfy that hidden... [read more]

"The Calling: The Beginning, Part II" Spirits Awakened

Submitted by vanelir on Apr 19th, 2007

Spirits Awakened


They were calling...to me!

That thought struck home. Of course they were calling to me! I am the most reknowned necromancer in all of Telon, who else would they call to?! Mind you not many are known as our nature tends to make us a recluse, but I was infamous! Ah, but we shall return to my gloating at a later time. I calmed my mind and cleared my thoughts, searching for the strongest of the voices. Several moments... [read more]

"The Calling: The Beginning, Part I"

"The Calling: The Beginning, Part I"

Submitted by vanelir on Apr 19th, 2007

The question I have always asked myself is, "Where to begin?". In truth I am not sure myself where I shall begin, but I will try my best to start from the beginning. Before the cataclysm and the changing of Telon. Before the major cities rose above the scattered towns to stand as beacons for all near. I may be a little rusty, but please, hear my tale, for I doubt you have heard the likes of it before.

The Beginning

It would... [read more]
