Vanguard: The Sound of Vanguard - by Nepenthia

To my great disappointment, one of the parts of the tour of the Community of 21 that were shown the Sigil Offices at the Summit of Oct. 8 was the Sound segment. I had lagged behind the rest, as everyone trouped out the boardroom door and down the hall to the small office of Todd Masten, Audio Designer for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. When I caught up to the group, I couldn't get close enough to hear more than the faintest sounds. I gave up, resolving to go back later and catch what I had missed...but that was not to be...

Imagine my delight tonight to receive from Shelby (Garthilk) at Vanguard Okratas a link to an article there by Nepenthia on the very subject I had missed out on (the only one on the whole tour). It is a great article, with great insight into the part that music plays in video games in general and MMOs in particular.

Here's the Vanguard Okratas link for this delightful and insightful article on the music of Vanguard.
