Vanguard are pleased to announce that Zenmire has stepped up to the VG PIA position.
With his appointment, the VG staff is finally back up to it’s full complement.
Zenmire has previously been a SUL with Star Citizen and brings that understanding and knowledge of Vanguard to his current role.
As he finds his feet we hope to be able to better serve the TAW community with regular updates and blogs of new games and news of current spin up teams.
To introduce Zenmire, we asked him a few questions.
Q1. What is the game that got you to join TAW? A1. Archeage.
Q2. What were your reasons for accepting the Vanguard position and what do you hope to achieve?
A2. This community has given so much to me, and I wanted a chance to give back. Most of my time in TAW has been in Vanguard. I am very excited about helping new games become apart of TAW.
Q3. Do you have a game of choice and genre?
A3. This is a very hard question. I played Everquest 1 and 2 for a combined time around 10 years, but since them I haven't stayed on one game for very long. Moba, strategy, fps, role playing, and many others.
Q4. Anything else you want to tell the community about yourself.
A4. I joined TAW about 2 years 1 month ago. I love this gaming community, and I have not found anything that compares to it. This is hands down the best org I have ever been apart of. I look forward to many more years as a member, and I will do my best to make this org even better.
