A long, long time ago in the world of MMO's there was a man Named Brad McQuaid. Mr. McQuaid was in charge of a little project called Everquest, some of you might have heard of it. Well, Brad left Everquest and formed his own company, Sigil Games, to start a new project. Vanguard: Saga of Heroes ( http://www.vanguardsoh.com/ or http://www.joinvanguard.com/ ) I suggest the first link. This game has been in development for several years now and is slated to come out this winter. Will it beat WoW? I don't know, maybe not in subscriptions, but I can almost guarantee it will be it in terms of artistic quality, content depth, character development, story line, and almost every other worthy category out there. To me, and this is only one man's opinion, I don't think there is another MMO currently, or in the near future that will be able to touch Vanguard in the categories I described above... Take a look at the sites I provided and see for yourself
