Hail everyone! It's been a while...I'm not even sure if I know many of you. I have long since stopped testing Vanguard, and I've decided to take it up again. So here is a bit about myself and my Vanguard History.
I got into beta at the very end of beta 1, and tested from then all the way up to release, except for a month or two where I had to take a break for RL reasons.
I played as a few characters(and still play as on Live): Tyrial(Druid), Tyrue(Ranger), Tyros, Tyrical...and a few others.
I have been dedicated to this game since I first came upon it those few years ago. I have been a Vanguard advocate("Vanboi"), since I started playing. Like many, I've had points at which I began to doubt the game, or it's success, but I have stood by it, nonetheless.
Although most of my posts on the early beta forums were simply ideas, you may not even have seen them. I have been a Vanguard fan, but definitely a quiet one.
When in beta, I tried my best to test the game as much as I could(was in school at the time), while still enjoying the game. I try to keep an optimistic-realistic view on a game's progress. I love to speak well about a game, yet I stick to a realistic approach, and don't hide the dingy details if there are any.
I nearly applied for the Crimson Fellowship, but decided I didn't have enough time to dedicate back then.
I've decided to return to testing because...well...I missed the tight knit community that I loved so much in early beta. We were one with the developers and GMs, and it was fun to test. I'm hoping that not too much has changed.
I hope to see you all there, and have a lot of fun with ya! Seeya 'round, like a doughnut!
