Glad to find this emulator!

I had a dear friend who might still be alive had we known this project was still ongoing. She had a serious drug problem but after being introduced to Vanguard in 2013, she gave up the drugs and got addicted to Vanguaard. Sadly, Sony closed down the server and unsatisfied with the other MMRPG's out there, she backslid crept back into her drug habit and eventually died from an overdose. I'd known her since her birth and even bottle fed her when she was little. She died far too young.
Enough of the sad stuff - I'd like to help test in my spare time. I am a software developer so I know the kinds of things developer's need to help re-produce and fix problems. I am also an avid PC gamer. My first MMRPG was Ultima Online followed by Everquest (where I met my wife who is also an avid gamer), World of Warcraft and my favorite: Vanguard which my wife and I played from beta until the servers closed down. We played other MMRPGs too but those are the main ones we played. My wife and I had 2 Vanguard accounts each, and each account was full of characters - we like to twink! My wife and I have an 11 year old son who will probably play once the game reaches the point where regular players are allowed. I can't list all the names of my characters but I only maxed out my main (Gruff, a wizard) although most of my characters were at least level 25. My main was a master stone artificer and builder of houses (on two continents and was working on the third) and my wife was a master ship builder (I think on all three continents). If anyone on here also played Everquest on the Prexus server, my wife and I were in Adventurers Anonymous where we met as guildmates. My wife's name in both games was Kats. I think we played on the Xeth server in Vanguard but neither of us can remember our guild names. The player base was too fluid and guilds too quickly came and went in Vanguard.
