Fairly sure Nepenthia did, but I don't know of anyone else from Toril that would have gotten into beta 0.

I played Vanguard; it's by SNK right?

I think it was about 1981-83ish.

Well, yes. Seeing as Tagad is one of the Senior Designers, I imagine he got into beta. Nepenthia isn't actually employed by Sigil, she's just... well, "friends and family." I think her beta invite was secured at the second Fanguard, but even if it wasn't, she's user #8 on the Vanguard forums (I registered in the first month and I have a four-digit User ID) so that's a pretty good indicator.

Vanguard is Aradune's new shindig. A "third generation" MMORPG. It looks to be primarily PvE, lots of level grinding, lots of uberguild 50-man raiding content at the top end. Some interesting noncombat mechanics being thrown around, like Diplomacy. Graphics are top notch. People are calling it Everquest 2.5... in an age where MMORPGs are becoming more solo-friendly and more casual-friendly, Vanguard looks to try to win over the uberguild crowd tired of the lack of challenge in World of Warcraft.

I may try it, but I'm just not an uberguilder... got married, kids coming in the next year or two, I just can't let myself get involved in six hour zones anymore. The game looks great for what it is, but like Toril, I just don't think it's the game I'm looking for anymore.

Yeah, finally got a job that doesn't suck, can afford to start thinking about kids in the near future.

They'll be posting about Rangers by 2008.

First of all, you can never "afford" kids...you can only fool yourself into thinking you can.

Second, given Emily's impression of Jake (same as Kelly's IIRC), make sure the kids are yours.
