Vanguard Saga of Heroes Turns 1

Today is the first birthday for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and what a special day it is for the community of heroes that have joined us in Telon! The development team is very proud of all that they have accomplished in the past year with all the optimizations, updates, game-play enhancements and life they have brought to the world of Vanguard. And to the citizens of Telon, old and new, who have chosen to bring their heroes to life in Vanguard, this day marks a special achievement and we want to thank you with in-game celebrations. In honor of the first of many birthdays for Vanguard, a few of the development team members would like to share their thoughts with you:

“Woohoo! Vanguard is One Year Old and I couldn’t be more proud of the accomplishments made by my teammates and all the support teams that have contributed to the success of the game. Vanguard has made some awesome strides in this past year and we’re excited about our future endeavors. Thank you for all of the support and HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANGUARD!” - Thom Terrazas, Vanguard Producer and Paladin on Seradon

“After leading up the crafting team, and now the entire design team I am thrilled that Vanguard has made it a year. Not a lot of games make it that far and I attribute our ability to do so directly to the players. We have, hands down, some of the brightest and most knowledgeable gamers out there in our community and it’s a pleasure to be able to interact with them day in and day out”
-Salim Grant

“Vanguard has been a thrill to work on, and seeing people in game playing and enjoying it a year out is simply awesome. Thanks everyone!”
-Kevin McPherson

“To all of our players (but the gnomes, mostly) thanks for sticking with us for an entire year. We had a bumpy start but things are really coming together now and we couldn’t have done it without you. If you all stay another year we’ll make Silius dance for everyone – that’s a promise!”
-Nick Parkinson

“Happy Birthday, Vanguard. A toast! To many more excellent birthdays.” – Justin Deeb, Game Designer, Vanguard

Vanguard is also celebrating its birthday in game with fireworks and in-game celebrations so be sure to log in and join the party!

Happy Birthday Vanguard!
