Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Q&A

The guys at GamerNode had the chance to sit down with Sigil Games' Nick Parkinson for a short Q&A about their recently launched MMORPG, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
Q: Many know about the development team's history with EverQuest, and I'm sure you've heard this time and time again, but many fans are afraid that Vanguard will simply be a modernized version of EQ. What are some specific features you can think of that make Vanguard a completely different experience than EverQuest? And what from EQ are you trying to avoid repeating with Vanguard?

A: Again, depth of gameplay and visual style will separate and differentiate us from any other game - past or present. We've taken what we liked and what worked well from the previous generation of games and allowed it to evolve together into Vanguard. One thing that we're definitely planning on is the longevity of the game. Back when a lot of our guys were working on the original EQ, it wasn't planned out 7 or 8 years in advance. Vanguard is, and it will keep the game strong for a long time to come.
