Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Preview

Eurogamer has put together a preview of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, the newly announced MMORPG from Brad McQuaid's Sigil Games. Check it out:
In what sounds like an impressively ambitious epic the official word is that "players will experience settings ranging from enjoying a drink in a tavern to walking through the streets of a bustling city. They will travel with trade caravans across deserts and they will fight pirates on the high seas. They will ascend the highest peak in the land and also explore the depths of eerie dungeons..."

The info triumphantly sums of Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes as "the premier third generation massively multiplayer RPG" with "a vast, seamless, immersive virtual world filled with elements of familiar High Fantasy, including traditional themes and more, all depicted using cutting-edge graphics technology". PR hyperbole or the game to take the genre into ambitious new territory? Well, they're obviously going to claim the latter, but its pedigree is undeniable.
