Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is a free-to-play fantasy MMORPG set in the vast world of Telon, an ancient world of magic, intrigue and adventure. When Sony Online Entertainment announced the closure of VG:SOH, a team of dedicated developers and players started an emulation project for players of Vanguard to continue to enjoy the game they love (current page and links are related to said project). Facing the challenges of a war torn world, the diverse people here struggle to rebuild their once great civilizations. A fragile alliance has been struck, and with the lands set upon by invading forces, the races must band together to survive. Telon is in desperate need of heroes. Your journey begins now. Join a community of thousands of players online as you traverse a breathtaking landscape on the back of a dragon while exploring the grandeur of a world designed by the seminal fantasy artist Keith Parkinson. Create and customize your character from 19 races and 15 professions. Battle fierce opponents with a groundbreaking, dynamic combat system that forces you to react to your opponents as you tie together devastating combinations of attacks.
