Wow, this description is SO off:
"At launch, the focus of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is on Thestra, an area of Telon that is cursed by an undead menace. You begin your adventure in Thestra, (you can start in many areas on all three contents, or the new Isle of Dawn) picking from among 19 available races and 15 classes, then customizing the look of your character. Become a goblin bard or Elven rogue (neither of those are race/class options), and then walk into the sunlight of the area to greet other players looking for a battle, quest, or just a chat. Over time, other continents become available to explore including Qalia and Kojan.
(This is where it gets good)
Once you earn cash, you can buy a horse, a dragon (lol, what?!), or boat to help you get around the large world of Telon. You can also purchase a house and put it in a zoned area for a safe place to keep your things, or use the land to harvest resources, set up a vendor's shop(where did they get this information?), or even build a factory to manufacture items(LOL). Skills such as blacksmithing, alchemy(not a skill in VG...), and shipbuilding(not it's own skill, part of carpentry) could make you a vital contributor the Telon economy, or bankrupt you and leave you with just the clothes on your back.(that's um, one way to put it i guess) Do you have a knack for public speaking? Become the leader of a guild, or start a new city that houses the best merchants, hunters, and entertainers in the entire area.(WTF?! hahaha)
The landscape is much like the Earth of today and features plains, oceans, islands, swamps, deserts, mountains, and fields to explore. Creatures are as diverse as the environment of Telon, and include thinking animals with the ability to understand religion, and animals that are just there for the kill. Keith Parkinson designs the fantasy world of Telon, and Mystic's Emotion FX real-time animation technology fuels the game's character generation. It is intended to give characters distinct, unique, movement yet still allow for the sharing of most animations. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide"

Pretty amazing that it's being used as the description and it's so off it's just sad. Things VG does have: harvesting, diplomacy, crafting, great dungeons, TONS of quests and questlines, one big raid dungeon with a few raid overland mobs as well, new raid area "in the works," boats, flying mounts, racial mounts, bugs, gorgeous graphics, mature player base, lagging population, and a desperate need for a new reputation and reintroduction to the gaming community.
