Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Interview

The Safehouse has published an interview with Microsoft’s Leon Pryor about their involvement with Sigil Games’ upcoming MMORPG, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Here’s a taste:

Q: Of the past and current MMORPGs, which have you enjoyed playing the most? What was your favorite aspect of this game?

A: This is a tough question. Asheron’s Call is probably my all time favorite partly because I worked very hard to ship the game and also because it was my first 3D MUD.

In recent years, I really enjoyed Final Fantasy XI I really liked their job system, which allowed you to try different character classes without loosing your identity. At the high levels, I really enjoyed their combat system; they have the best implementation of a Paladin that I have ever seen.

Recently City of Heroes and World of Warcraft were both fun to play and brought a lot to the table in terms of usability, animation, and audio.
