Vanguard is currently gauging interest in the MMORPG Neverwinter Online, based on the Dungeons & Dragons franchise with a living world and immersive fantasy storylines.
Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from Dungeons & Dragons as it rises from the ashes of destruction. This immersive free-to-play MMO will take you from the besieged walls of the city to subterranean passageways in search of forgotten secrets and lost treasure.
The game has been running strong since it's initial release in 2013 however they just revamped this beauty with the Undermountain Expansion which you can read up on here:
"Descend into the dungeon of the mad mage in Neverwinter’s largest expansion ever! Enter a battle of wits and force in Halaster Blackcloak’s sprawling dungeon; enjoy level cap increase, class overhauls and more this spring.
In the biggest expansion to date for the free-to-play MMORPG set in the Forgotten Realms, adventurers will be summoned to the immense dungeon beneath Waterdeep following mysterious visions. Updates will include a level cap increase to 80, five new Adventure Zones in the many caverns below Waterdeep, a new social hub in the Yawning Portal Tavern, a new Endgame Dungeon, an overhaul of Class Powers as well as Feats, revamped Boons system, richer loot drop experience and much more!"
Or if you'd rather watch the updates:

Check out this awesome launch trailer for the new expansion!
Coming from someone that has played countless hours of D&D with friends I can say that this game is definitely taking the "Old School" tabletop to a whole new level. If you wanted some more information I will enclose a link to the Neverwinter Online Wiki which can be found HERE.
If you or someone you know who might be interested in seeing this game enter TAW or if you would like to help get the team started please fill out the following Interest Form which can be found by clicking HERE.

Here in Vanguard Horizon we have many teams come and go and deal with a lot of very great people! In my time as PIA I have seen 3 teams Launch to corps and a few who are very close!
With pleasure I would like to show you all a few games that we are working with in Vanguard Horizon and some more that we are thinking about incorporating within TAW!
Vanguard HorizonTeams:
Foxhole
Foxhole is a massively multiplayer game where you will work with hundreds of players to shape the outcome of a persistent online war. This is the ultimate game of collaborative strategy and tactics. Every action you take can have a powerful and permanent effect across a vast world in a constant state of war.
Warframe
They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.
The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you.
Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers.
Anthem
The world of Anthem is a dangerous place. Chaotic. Unpredictable. A world left unfinished and abandoned by the gods. As a freelancer, you are one of the elite few chosen to fight against the chaos. To wield the power of your javelin and bring order to the madness.
Minecraft
Minecraft is a sandbox video game created by Swedish game developer Markus Persson and released by Mojang in 2011. The game allows players to build with a variety of different blocks in a 3D procedurally generated world, requiring creativity from players. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat.
Hell Let Loose

Eve Online SUL
Featuring sweeping maps modelled on real reconnaissance images and satellite data, the entire battlefield is divided up into large capture sectors - allowing for emergent and constantly unique gameplay that pits two forces of fifty players in a fight to the death across fields, bridges, forests and towns on an ever-evolving front line. When a sector is captured, it will generate one of three resources for your team, creating a complex meta-game that will influence your team’s march to victory.
Take to the battlefield in 50 vs 50 multiplayer across huge maps. Choose one of 14 playable roles within infantry, recon and armour unit types, each equipped with different weapons, vehicles and equipment.
