The folks over at Vanguard have posted a step by step guide for new players to make it easier for new players get into the game more quickly and smoothly.

As SOE has officially adopted Vanguard Saga of Heroes into its family, many questions emerge relating to the content of the game. This piece of writing is designed to help new players gain a better perspective of the newly acquired game and resolve issues that arise while playing. From the view of a new player this passage should help clear up confusion beginners might encounter.

As the game begins, a character must be created. A race must be chosen from the regions of Thestra, Kojan or Qalia. A class must also be selected pertaining to a player's personality and occupation choice. The classes are Protective fighter, offensive fighter, healer and caster. The protective fighter is a set of fighting classes that focus on defense, while offensive fighters center on attacking. The healer set has special abilities to increase their health or that of their friends. The caster set is able to administer spells, much like a wizard from fantasy.

Vangaurd is not that bad of a game SoE is fixing and has fixed alot of the problems with game.  I am 3 weeks into the game and it is ten times better than wow. Heck, at least it is a challenge with games like wow you pretty much get in the game and you've won. Besides that why discourage others from games you don't like? This is a really good game if you like in depth gameplay. If you like games like wow then yea don't bother....

Actually, another good idea by SOE, first we had the new player island, now the new player guide. Some folks might have been put off from trying the game because it was for the 'experienced' player..... these moves can only help to appeal to a new audience (one that hasn't already given up on the game.

It's sad how sloppily put-together it looks. Hopefully it's not an indication of SOE's level of commitment to project Vanguard...

SOE's first step in making VSOH the next hold-your-hand WoW clone. This guide is pathetic... how about a guide on getting the game to run on a normal PC?

Thats true because its a great game and while its nice to see them doing anything its a shame they couldn;t have taken the time to make it polished.

I play Vanguard, EQ 2 and just bought SWG today.  I think Vanguard is a great game.  I was a longtime EQ 1 player, but I also played DAoC and WoW for about a year.  SOE is really doing a lot to improve this fascinating game.  It is the only MMO on the market with a world of its vastness and diversity.  I think it is worth playing, others might now.

Is Sony's internal staff going to be the ones making new quests and storylines?   Or will they contract with a new 3rd party developer to keep growing the gameworld content?  (I assume it was Brad's team who was doing it before they got canned)
