Here's an interesting fact. When EG7 bought Daybreak Games, they never mentioned that Vanguard was in the package. It's not listed on the new site as a game. If you remember, the company earlier formed under a bunch of sub-properties. Darkpaw Games was made up of Everquest and Everquest 2. There is no mention that I am aware that Vanguard as part of the new deal. So, then who owns it now? There may be some truth to the rumor that Pantheon may change its name back to Vanguard again or Jason Epstein still owns it. But why hide it? People liked Vanguard and it was ahead of its time...I have no opinion either way on Vanguard I never played it.
