Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (VGO-Emulator)

A high fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) originally created by Sigil Games Online and the late great Brad McQuaid. The game lives on as Vanguard Online Emulator!

I honestly didn’t think I’d ever be in the world of Vanguard again since it shut down in 2014. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago that I discovered it had been rescued by fans of the game who were also developers/coders/creators who loved the game and a challenge. The game lives on as Vanguard Online Emulator!
It’s basically in a continuous state of alpha at the moment but it’s stable, playable and the team continues to expand and enhance the game. The gaming community is amazing as well! /Cheers
