So its going F2P? w00t!

Stay tuned could also mean further support on the game, which they have said VG will get.  I wouldn't jump straight to F2P

I would play again if it was F2P.  I think it would bring in  allot more players and that was my biggest  problem  with the game not enough player base.

I doubt they are going to be jealous about Vanguard over EQ 2 .It is money to them if people play Vanguard so why would it bother them that it would compete with EQ 2.The money goes to them in the end. So F2P will be a good move.

Voted other as i'm a "former" Vanguard player that would be excited to come back if it went FTP. Quit playing as I think it's pretty close to criminal to charge for a game with zero support. I don't think VG will EVER get FULL support so would only support some form of FTP where I decide how much i'm willing to pay.

This is exactly how I feel...If it did got F2P I could at least get My Guild to download the Game and try it out...As it is now there is no way they would try it out because it's not really supported...I still think this is a great Game and as a F2P it would see a nice bump...But as a $15 per Month game it's dead in the water...Especially with all the Fantasy MMO's out there already, and the likes of GW2 and Tera right around the corner...

They are getting rid of the exchange. That only makes me think a marketplace is coming.

depends on the type of F2P. If it goes like LoTRO/D&DO where you can buy abilities and performance enchances with money then I won't even bother trying it.

It's going F2P for sure - just look at the writing on the wall.

1.  Devs back on the project - first update coming in a few weeks - first game update in YEARS.

2.  New update SCREAMS of changes made for broader audiences and accessibility for new players.

3.  Many comments from devs on the forums recently about big announcement coming about future plans, but that they can't quite talk about it just yet.

4.  SOE game line up is getting lighter and lighter with SWG gone now.  Add to that the flop of DCUO, cancelling of The Agency, disregard of Free Realms and they need Vanguard.

It's going F2P - and when it does a crap ton of people are going to learn the game they were always wanting to play already existed.  And I'll be throwing my SWTOR out the window as I run back too.  With the promise of new players and steady development attention - I'll be back for good, and my guess is that many others will also.

Ftp AND substantial developer support would get me back in a heartbeat.

I would like Vanguard f2p...and would play it.

Think the game seems pretty damn cool but have just no interest at all playing an unpopulated mmo.

If it was f2p it would be more populated.   Then I'd play.

i used to p2p vg ..i no longer do cuz it was soo dead...id deff play vg if it was free cuz f2p games have pretty decent population and people to grp with..if it went f2p it would deff bring some life to the title

I want it f2p. Issue is, considering where its from,  chances are the f2p model would be rather poor. Lets not pretend EQ2 f2p model is good at all, its pretty much a model example of how NOT to do f2p. It screws over subscribers and f2p players alike. If its different then that, then I can be all for it.

I dont think F2P will happen, simply because that would be much additional work and the population is down.
