Word on the street is that SoE has plans to buy Vanguard from Sigil. According to the folks over at VGFlames:

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.

We at Silky Venom have no insider information and no official word on this buyout. As it stands right now, this is nothing more than a rumor. However on the off chance that there may be some credence to this gossip and given our flair for somewhat amateurish journalism, we felt it only fair to report on it; to bring it to you, our readers!

Whether you agree or disagree, keep the conversation nice please

That would be bad news indeed. I suspect if true, that would be the end to the 7-year development plans, and would instead receive changes similar to what happened to SWG. But I have to ask, is it really that bad? I would have thought that populations were going up instead of down.

I guess my first question is you must believe that LFG is a reliable source of information in order to risk posting something like that here on silky. I read the post and it doesn't really say much. If this turns out not to be true, that is irresponsible journalism, if it is true, what's your source?

I don't think it will happen, because I don't think Brad and the rest of the Sigil team want to go out that way. I think they are in for the long haul, to recover from the mistakes and make it a winner.

You honestly think he is the type of guy to take a kick to the crotch and walk away without a word?

No way.

I hope someone at Sigil at least comes forward and let us know straight of the bat if this is true or not. This kind of thing needs to be niped in the bud like now. Not a month from now. And if it is true, will Sigil staff be staying on?

You guys, put so much heart and soul in this already, I would be sad for you guys if you was leaving completely. I do not mind if Soe took over, never been a hater, but given a choice I would rather remain with Brad and Co.

But untill someone says its true or not, it does not really matter what we think or not. And if it is untrue, I wonder what rattles in someones mind to start these things, and the damage they can do with it.

coming from a site that calls its self VG Flames? yeah thats solid proof right there...

Well, if this is true (which I doubt) our guild is out. We're not going through another NGE and loosing everything we've worked for. We just don't trust SOE, they've screwed up EVERY game the have.

This would kill VG for good.

As for whether it’s true or not, I clearly state that at this point it is a rumor – albeit a rumor we’re not going to ignore and pretend that people aren’t talking about. If you are reader of the general forums, this is something that was being talked about before I made this post. I’m not the first to bring it up. I wasn’t the first to find it - other affiliates are also reporting on it

Out of curiousity, what do you propose, that I hide my head in the sand and deny all? Deny there’s a rumor? Deny people are talking about the possibility? Deny that it IS a possibility?

I’d prefer to bring an issue out in the open, to the forefront, to hopefully get answers as opposed to try to deny an issue even exists

I do not think they mean you Labyrrinth, I think all post are aimed at the guy on VGFlames. I know I never even took you to consideration in my own post, just the one on Flames. If that was miscommuncated I applogise.

[Labyrrinth]

Nah I know you didn't Istaira

I was responding to Missio's post specifically. With that I'm out of this conversation (maybe..)
