Recently, we started a static group for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and since then we have made our way off of the Isle of the Dawn, the newbie zone. We started out killing hobgoblins and facing down fire demons, made our way through the misty waters of a swamp, and moved on to flying a group of pegasi into the firey Hell of the Temple of the Ancients. (OK, more like "laggy Hell," but they have fixed that issue since then.) I ran through most of the Isle's content alone before, so revisiting it in a full group was such a pleasure.
Well, we fight on! We met on Monday to conquer the Jade Depths: essentially a giant spider-infested system of caves, going through such tribulations as becoming impregnated with arachnid larvae, digging through piles of bones, and using magical portals. All was spooky -- very spooky. We are going to meet up next Monday, the 2nd of August, to take a swipe at the Vault of Heroes. While it might be old, take a look at this entry from Jaye over at Journeys with Jaye to give you an idea of what lies in store! Here is a list of quests in the zone, as well. Be between the levels of 11-14, grab your best armor, and meet us at 9 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. CDT) in Veskal's Exchange. Contact Rikoo Rakoo, Burtimus or Massively Lee for a guild invite!
Hopefully this time the larval-impregnation will be kept to a minimum.

Oh wow, I have always wanted to run that dungeon, but never had a group to do it with. Seriously tempting me to resubscribe and break my vow to never give SOE my cash again :)

Oops, I was thinking of Tomb of Lord Tsang. You guys should hit that one for sure, I think it has puzzles of some sort. There might be a quest line you have to do to gain entry, I forget.
I have run thru the Vault of Heroes before exploring, its a neat area.

I loved the Tomb of Lord Tsang, I got the 1hs + sheild and the 2hs for my paladin. I hung out there for weeks to get them, because there were a lot of groups at the time, competing for the mobs.
Was a 33 paladin when I left the game. Last level I got was level 33 in Wardship of the Sleeping Moon on 06/06/08. Thanks VGPlayers XD
I miss the game a whole lot, but I don't see myself returning to it unless it goes F2P.

BM messed this game up so badly people are afraid to join. I just can't commit $15 a month to a game that I'm afraid won't be around in 2 or 3 months. If they went F2P, I'd throw 20-30 at it to open up a couple options. I played it for like 30 mins and was interested but didn't want to get too wrapped up in it b/c I could see the paint on the wall...firing all that staff didn't help either.
I really feel sorry for VG...Had it had the right people in charge of BM and crew, the game coulda been something.
