Ultima Online. Everquest. Asheron’s Call. Dark Age of Camelot. World of Warcraft. If you play video games, chances are you’ve heard at least three of those names before, and have played at least one. Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs (MMORPGs) are an expanding market in the PC gaming community. Since the incredible success of World of Warcraft, developer after developer has announced the next big MMO game, but often they fall short of expectations. One game coming out very soon, though, has enough history on its side to possibly give WoW a run for its money: Vanguard. Developed by SOE (the same people responsible for EverQuest), the game is being released on Tuesday — unless you’re one of the lucky ones who preordered soon enough to get in the Early Start program. Recently, I had the chance to chat with Sigil’s Nick Parkinson about Vanguard.
