Greetings all!
I do some writing with some online e-zines, etc. and I did a little preview/review of Vanguard. If you have the time, can you stop by and check it out? Also, if you have any other scintillating details that I could include in my articles, just PM me and I'll be sure to add them as long as they don't violate the NDA.
Check out my recently published content on AC:
Review of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (MMORPG)
I did a revision here, and made sure to mention that Sigil is the developing company and Sony is just the distributer. Thanks to everyone on the Vanguard Official Forum for helping me to get my facts straight!
I plan on writing many more articles on Vanguard, so if you have info you think I should include, please contact me and let me know. I will definitely give you credit for your contributions!

Hmm... what to say.
First thing I noticed about your article. It's titled "Review of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes". How do you do a review of a game that hasn't been released? At the very most you would be doing a PREVIEW. But, your article isn't a preview either; since you haven't been invited into Beta or been cleared to provide any information outside of the NDA.
Then about 3 paragraphs in you say it's being Developed by Sony. I see you did a revision, but the revision is on a seperate site. The article for Associated Content still has the incorrect info on their site, with your name attached to it.
Once you get into the Features it is better, but again, nothing new here. All the information is readily available. You did a nice job on stating why you like certain features, although; I think you should have mentioned how the housing seems like it will parallel the housing in SWG, since you mention that you played that game as well.
I didn't see any concerns about anything that the Dev. team was trying to do though. Are you 100% happy with everything they are doing? I guess from my point of view I would want an article about a game (review/preview/fan-based article, etc.) to at least raise some concerns that the gaming public may have brought up to at least get your audience thinking and perhaps curious to find out more information.
Lastly, on your "revision" site you end the article with some helpful links to some affiliate sites and also the official page. That would have been useful information on the Associated Content article as well.
I rated your article a 2 out of 5.
Well, thanks for at least reading my article. I reviewed the information that is out there and added my opinion. I also put this info out in places so people, who might not know about Vanguard, could read something about it and check it out. I am not in Beta and if I was, I sure wouldn't post an article about what I knew since that would be a violation of the NDA. Last of all, I did supply the links with the AC content and I also put in a letter to the site to allow me to update my article with the correct information about Sigil. Again, thanks for reading!

Good to hear you are trying to change the mis-information in the article as well. Unless someone scrolls down and reads your comments, there is nothing to correct the notion that SOE is the developer, instead of Sigil.
