Guild tools - the surface scratched

[Pirotess]

A topic near and dear to my heart was recently touched on in an interview Lady Sirse conducted with Jeff Butler over at Silky Venom. In the interview Jeff discussed Sigils vision on facilitating guild formation via a "forum" registration system. While many of the details were still vague, the system sounds promising in that it can be used while offline before you get entrenched in learning how to use the communication interface in game. Jeff also touched on shipping trade routes and Sigil's desire to have seige warfare in the game at or around release time. Head on over to SV to read the full interview.

Vanguard Crafters has recently opened a new fan fiction section. In it you can find great stories written by Kathairesis, Semantes, and Laurel. Enjoy the stories!

Wolfshead, over at Gamer God has published a new Fanguard report. In the report, Wolfshead touches on the Sigil/Microsoft relationship, the content consumption problem in recent MMORPGs, and a new diplomacy feature called demeanor. Take a look at it.

Anytime I hear "at or around release time", I start thinking back to what Blizzard was saying during alpha/beta...

When are hero classes going to be in?
"At or around release time!"

Hate that phrase :P
