Vanguard is the only MMO I want to play until ArcheAge comes out, but I refused to resub due to the lack of players. This is unbelievable news! -Computer specs no one cares about: check. -MMOs played no one cares about: check. -Xfire stats no one cares about: check. -Signature no one cares about: check. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

I heard they doubled the staff so there is now 2 devs! (Thats a joke) lol I'm actually very excited. I bought the game quite some time back and found no one was playing. The little I did play I was impressed by. I liked it more than EQII. Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

I thought Vanguard was a ton of fun when I tried it out. Like someone else mentioned, it wasn't worth the monthly sub to play due to it being all but abandoned. While this F2P change is tempting, I just finished with EQ2 and I have no desire to go back to a SOE game until Dave Georgeson "Smokejumper" leaves the building. He has been the worst Exec Producer in SOE's history, and his actions and antics have driven people away from SOE products in droves. He is the quintessential snake oil salesman. Yes, he will oversee Vanguard as well and get his greasy fingers into its machinations. SOE will never see another penny from me due to how Dave turned EQ2 from a classy game into a Cash Shop centric, cheapened mess. Then, there is the entire ongoing debacle with how the EU customers are being treated and ignored. SOE's customer relations, their silence tactics to ignore the playerbase, and the general contempt they've always had guarantee them a special place in my heart. They've permanently lost many, many players recently over what is going on over there.

You know I was just thinking this as I was reading about eq going f2p, I love vanguard, but the last dev post or announcement was july of last year, and there are months between player posts, and not much point in playing an mmo with a community that small. But with the release stigmata old players won't pay money to try it, and new players don't know it exists.. f2p and a renewed dev base means new content.
I mean as a game vanguard had innovative classes, a strong crafting system, and the diplomacy system which is a creature unto itself.. its what every wow player was looking for in tor and rift, but didn't get. |

Its better to be quiet and perceived as stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. |

Glad to see the official confirmation for this one, although I'm still wary of what they'll do with the F2P model. I'd prefer if they avoided the EQ1/EQ2 model with the whole limiting you from the get go with race and class combinations. Nature without Technology is little more than animals running about. |

I've heard a lot of good things about the game, so this is great news. But I suspect the business model will follow that of EQ2, in which case I'm not that interested. |

I was in the open? beta and bought the game. I only went back twice, but the lack of players is the reason I never stayed. The game is great. Hope it's going to be successful. |

Cool beans! I have tried this game a few times over the years but left due to no one really around.
This will be interesting to see how this shapes up! |

This is sweet.
Vanguard has always been one of my favorites. And although I am not a huge fan of free-to-play, it can only mean good things for this game as you KNOW the population is going to rise. That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming! |

I'm really really happy for the Vanguard fans. They deserve this. I hope it brings them many new people. |

Well, I suppose this is good if it gets more development, more people into the game, etc. Looking at how EQ2 did Free to Play I'll just continue the subscription. |
