Rumor: Soe To Buy V:soh

Rumor Has It...

While we're not usually keen on shouting out every rumor that comes our way, there's a Vanguard rumor that seems to bear reporting. It was mentioned first (as far as we know) at Vanguard Flames:

New, current rumor is that SoE will announce next week they've agreed to buy out Vanguard from Sigil based on its declining population, since Sigil cannot afford to continue. Further information is that SoE will merge servers shortly thereafter.


Make of it what you will, folks. As we've pointed out, it's just a rumor. Sigil is not responding to the rumor at this time. We'll let you know when (and if) we learn more.

I never heard of vanguard flames before, now it is perhaps true or perhaps they wanted some traffic, we will see.

Not saying its true...but the VG Flames admin has a pretty good rep for 2 years in the EQ2 community.

As rumors go, it certainly looks like a believable one from everything we've been seeing. Not to say it *is* true, of course, but it wouldn't be surprising.

This wouls hearld th eend of VG as we know it. Nothing I can think of short of just turning the lights off could be worse.
