Sony Online Entertainment announced that October 18-21 will be the time for MMO fans to head to Bally’s Casino in Las Vegas. The S.O.E Live event will be an opportunity for players of the major SOE MMO’s to gather. It looks like every SOE game will be “celebrated” from The Clone Wars online to D.C. Universe. I didn’t think that Vanguard’s servers were still running, apologies to the fans of the game for the oversight. What say you gamers, heading to Vegas?
