A note from GM Xtar

[Aredhel]

GM Xtar has left notes in all the Affililiates' boxes. This is what it says:

Sigil Games Online would like to extend our thanks for all your help testing Vanguard Saga of Heroes. As a small gesture of our appreciation, we invite you to join us January 19th at 6:00pm pacific, on the Beta 1 server for a special event. Pack your fur lined cloak, this time of year gets pretty cold at high altitudes!

Due to the overwhelming response, we will be offering another chance to ride a flying mount. You will also have the opportunity to win a permanent griffon mount of your own! This test will require you to be online at 6:00pm pacific with a character level 5 or lower. The event is anticipated to run for a while so please prepare to be online for at least an hour.


International Testers:

We regret the hours of this event may not be convenient for our International testers. Unfortunately this test requires certain conditions and our highest populations happen at these times. Hopefully publishing this information early will give everyone the opportunity to prepare and participate.

And, after that, the Knights of the Crimson Fellowship released this notice:

Citizen of Telon,

I bring bittersweet news. A nomadic tribe of goblins known as the Guulrip, have been robbing griffon nests around Telon. Last month we removed another 3,000 eggs from the Guulrip’s camp and have since discovered that griffon eggs are rejected by the matron, once an egg is removed from its nest. The cublets are now trained in the art of flight and we hope you will join us in celebrating their graduation into full fledged adulthood.

C’mon, you know the fuzzy little baby griffons would do it for you.

Please also keep your eyes open for Guulrip Goblins, we are still unaware of their motives and fear something diabolical may be afoot.

Faithfully,
Knights of the Crimson Fellowship

*looks comtemplative*

I do believe, my friends, that something is afoot. Perhaps it would benefit those able, to be present at the appointed time! I hope to see you there, and to those who have passed this information on, safe journeys!

I'll be there with bells on. Well maybe not.. most of my bells will be stored on in my bank in Martok (server 2)...but I'll be there in some form nonetheless!!

[AnomalousSilence]

I am very excited they included RP in that for us role-players out there!

The Knights are usually very great about that. It's something I'm looking forward to greatly after release in fact.

I really wish I could make this, but I'm going out of town for the weekend tomorrow.

[Aredhel]

There will be more chances, TG!!

What a way to stress test a server, huh?

[FEDS-91]

Would have been nice to have a bit more advanced notice. Might not have taken that extra shift at work. Oh well. Not much ya can do I guess.

I really hope so! I hate to think I'm missing out on my only chance till I get high enough in game (which could take ages as I've no idea what lvl is required).

1am is abit late for me You all better have fun at it!

[Greymain]

Too late for me too, perhaps they will do an event especially for us Europeans one day. I must admit I do worry just how much support will be available during our peak play time.
