The big news last week was the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes announcement, to a waiting and out of breath world … Beta Cometh.
Posted by Abigale Seashadow on the Vanguard forums (need to be registered to view *shrug*):
Sigil Games Online has entered Phase 1 of our Beta Program! And, as promised, our Community Members will have the first opportunity to apply for it!
We will begin sending out emails today to everyone that has registered on our forum through today with an invitation to apply for Beta 1. Follow the instructions in the email and you are on your way!
Once you have submitted your application, your name will be added to our list of potential Beta participants. Qualified applicants will be selected for the program and added gradually, as we need more and more players throughout the course of Beta.
Please remember that this is an invitation to apply for Beta. If you qualify and are selected at any stage, you will be notified.
So check your email and submit your application! I am sure I will see many of you in Beta soon! We have been looking forward to this for a long time!
That’s a lot of exclamation points! But! What if we’re too busy with Warcraft?!?! What am I saying! No one’s too busy in Warcraft for a Beta! Heee!
While conducting my super secret research into this announcement, I ran across this tool on the web (NO, not a Vanboi. Dammit, I do the jokes around here): Silky Venom Vanguard Dev Tracker. Silky Venom is a real Vanguard fansite, not a fake one like … here, and their Dev Tracker could be a valuable tool for any wouldbe Vanboi stalkers.
Lookee all the posts over the weekend! Posts with some substance even! Anyways.
Much as I’d like to lord a beta account over everyone, and I do want to work the phrase “lightning has struck twice!” somewhere into a blog post, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. The beta or the lightning.
For the record, I also want to use the phrases “So we come to it at last.” “We have no songs for great halls and… evil times.” and “I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.” I like to plan ahead like that.
