索尼在线娱乐公司于美国西部时间5/15宣布接收Sigil Games Online公司的所有资产，包括现在正在运营的网游巨作《Vanguard : Saga of heroes》 (中译：先锋：英雄史歌)。
索尼在线娱乐公司(SOE)的财务总监John Smedley 宣布了这一消息，Sigil 公司里的一半员工将留任，继续开发Vanguard，这个开发团体的大小将相当于 另一网游作品 无尽的任务2 的开发团队大小。
原来的 Sigil Games Online 总裁 Brad McQuaid 将作为 Vanguard : Saga of Heroes 的创意顾问 而 Dave Gilbertson 将接替他的职位。
由于这一改变，原来开放官方论文的立场有所改变，现在Vanguard已经有了一个游戏性讨论的官方论坛：http://forums.station.sony.com/vg/forums/show.m?forum_id=5
声明原文如下：
Hello Everyone,
Today I would like to formally announce that SOE has acquired the assets of Sigil Games Online, including Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. As a part of this acquisition, we are bringing on approx 50 people from Sigil in order to insure that Vanguard continues to grow. SOE is dedicated to making sure that Vanguard is well taken care of and that we provide the same level of service we do for our other titles. In the near future we will come out with a publishing plan that will largely be driven by the strong player community that Vanguard has already built up. We plan on supporting Vanguard for many years to come, and you can expect many content updates as part of your subscription. Down the line we will of course be coming out with new expansion packs, but right now the focus is on making sure Vanguard is running the way it should be.
We are also officially opening up forums. In the past, our deal with Sigil didn't allow for this, but as with our other games we feel this is an important part of communicating with the playerbase. You can expect a strong presence from our community team as well as the development team members. While we realize that Sigil had said they wouldn't open up general forums, at SOE we feel this hampers our efforts to communicate effectively with the players. We will continue to support the fansites in a big way, and will be contacting many of them directly to discuss what this change means. By no means do we want to lose the strong fansite support by making this change, but we do think it's important to have a forum for players to communicate directly with SOE.
A few other items I wanted to mention
1. Brad McQuaid will be consultant to SOE as a creative advisor for Vanguard. Dave Gilbertson will be the person directly responsible for the day-to-day management of both the Sigil Carlsbad office as well as Vanguard.
2. We do not plan on making any major changes to Vanguard. Any changes are going to come from the team itself. We aren't mandating any big changes to the game. We've learned a thing or two with our experiences with the NGE and don't plan on repeating mistakes from the past and not listening to the players.
3. We do plan on spending a lot of time cleaning up legacy issues with Vanguard and making sure the game's performance improves.
By way of comparison, this team is approx. the same size as the EQ2 team and I feel like that team has done an amazing job improving EQ2 since it's launch. We intend to do the same thing for Vanguard and it is our hope that the players feel like we're doing right by them.
Smed
