WarCry Network: What has the transition from Microsoft to SOE as a publisher meant to the development of Vanguard?
Nick Parkinson: It has meant that we are working with a company who is very experienced in MMOs. When we need something, be it something technical or something for marketing they know what we re talking about and they re on it. Being able to work with folks who have that experience is invaluable.
Also, for what we need they re really the best at, plain and simple. As our co-publisher, SOE will be handling distribution, data center operations (hosting the game, etc), technical (not in-game) support and will be helping us a lot with marketing. All areas where SOE really shines.
Not to mention, logistically it makes a lot of things easier as well. They re just down the road from us here in San Diego and many of us have worked with them before, so we re already familiar with one another.
