Vanguard team struts their nerdy stuff
Ever wonder what kind of work environment it takes to crank out your favorite MMOs? Personally, I conjur up an image of a pristine high-tech underground bunker, perhaps built under a volcano, with rows of computers facing a large screen showing the current state of the game. All the developers are busy yammering on headsets while reading from indistinguishable printouts. But that's just in my head.
The Vanguard team recently made the move to SOE's San Diego offices, and they thought it would be fun to engage in a bit of a nerd-off with their fans, give fans an inside look at the life of a developer, and to see whose desk is littered with nerdstalgia in the greatest density and splendor. The Vanguard boys put up a pretty good fight, but we'd say their fans give them a run for their money.
