Vanguard: Saga of Heroes State of the Game Q&A

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes senior game designer Silam Grant took a moment to answer Ten Ton Hammer's questions about how the game is holding up since its launch in early 2007.
Major content updates to Vanguard have offered raid areas. Early in Vanguard's raid history, the client wouldn't really support groups bigger than 12. Then raid parties reached 18 with some success. Raids are purported to fully support 24 players from here on out. How have optimization fixes enhanced raids and your ability to design new content?

SG: Game optimization has not affected our ability to design content outside of allowing us to have 24 man raids. Multiple optimizations to server performance have reduced sluggishness when multiple raids are in a dungeon but these optimizations were not done exclusively for raids they were done to enhance the game's performance.
