Hello all, It has been some time since i last played Vanguard and i have to say my heart sunk when i heard the game was shutting down forever. I'm not sure if many people will remember my name but i started VG way back in 2008 in a guild called Oracles of Vanguard. This was when i first realized this game was different. the community was always amazing. Spent most of my early time running CIS and other various questlines usually with the help of two people called Megx and Skelly, these were the early days of VG for me. Oracles of Vanguard closed its doors and i was looking for a new guild to start in. This was when i was lucky enough to bump into Jakkal and Blackwolf on a random PUG group, from memory i think it was getting my swamp armor set and running Hegarian. After a bit i managed to get invited into Safe Haven. Safe Haven was the guild that i will remember the most, Met so many amazing people and had many great Ventrilo chats Joodah being a excellent guild leader and Jakkal, blackwolf, Riccha, Alexander, Isoel to name a few always willing to help out. Being in the core group for the full APW raids was simply amazing, that feeling when we finally got Kota down was intense. I also remember doing all the quests to get my griffon, i simply could not have done it without the help of Safe Haven and in particular Jakkal and Blackwolf. Jakkal if you ever read this i want to say that when i heard about blackwolf I was stunned, the community lost a great player. sorry to bring things up from years ago but i really hope you are doing well. In the years of playing i have met many many great people, From the playes at Oracles of Vanguard in the early days To all the amazing people in Safe Haven and Reverence. I want to wish you all the very best for the future The Druid Glais

Well, unfortunately i had not the time i want to play in the last 1.5 years and now it is too late. In the time i played nearly every day i always logged in with a "Rawrrrr" on my Disciple Furaki to proof the Strength of the little ones . For i can't remember all the beatiful moments in game there is just one Day in May 2012 which is the Essence of a good community and game for me. Could be May 5th one player is calling other to come to Veskals Exchange for... standing in row. Yes, just standing in row for hours... more and more people came in an join.... and then GM Doe arrived . I do not remember all things that happened instead of flying frogs and such things but that was a thrilling day. Lots of people came together for a long time just to make nonsense. No one cares about xp or if it was good for your skills, ww were just together and had much fun. Thank you for that one day in May 2012. Furaki Disicple on Vanguard Cloud
Hahaha I am glad you liked the line Furaki, one of my friends (and my Reverence guild officer/main tank) Telyrant and myself actually started that from just being bored and joking around in Veskals Exchange, I was bugging him while he crafted and then logged some of my alts (4) in to double the annoyance fun and for some reason while a few of my alts and Tely's disciple were parked near the rift in a line (which is how we always line them up to buff/box with) someone stood next to them, then I came over and stood next to them and waved, then Tely came over and brought his alt into the line and before we knew it, we created "The Line" that lasted over 3-4 hours and ended in GM Doe throwing us into the air as evil looking frogs! plus a poorly created circle, bugs races and jokes/dancing lol I remember that day well my friend, I am glad someone else enjoyed it as much as we did Here are some screenshots I kept: This is how it started
I joined with my Shaman Barksen *lostinmemories*. I often think about in the last months if will logg in one last time tomorrow. Atm i must say i can't, a too emotional thing. I had a few screenshots on my pc from the event with chattext but i dont know how to show it here.
Its great to see some familiar names! im going to try and log in tomorrow afternoon as long as work finishes up early enough so hopefully around 6pm AWST, hope to see some of you online! i will sign up to that site Aasha, will be great to keep in touch after this has all gone dark
What i forgot, the thing i will miss most will be...... Slappys Whistle. Can someone plz make a video and load it up on youtube ? Must be a great event if people cast it simultaniously that a whole big row can dance. I don't know if i will be awake for the final hours because it is in the middle of night here. May i have to start filling a barrel with coffee for it.
Hahaha I remember that - that was hilarious - we were working on synchronising all our alts to beckon the rifting players at the same time - I think it would have been a bit daunting and fun for anyone appearing and not knowing it was coming!. In the end it became close to a server wide party and no one was really sure what the hell we were doing there, even those of us that had started it. What a great memory guys, thanks for reminding me of the fun we have had in this place that has been a home to many of us for a long time. Thanks also to Doe if for some weird reason you read this, you were great to us and we were sad to see you go. Tely - PS. To Telyrant, Gronc, Nogusta, Tenahka, Mallet, Sigimund, Attalus, Myrrthon, Kozzt, Pheefi, Incen, Kellhas, Cromb, Pillock, Orfantal, Rue and the lazy ones - I will miss being you, you cheeky, fun little buggers! I hope you come to exist in a better plane in the future! See you there!
