As Vanguard is going FTP i though i would give those who have never had the privilege of travelling the beautiful vast world of Telon a treat.

Watch in HD..

Check out the ship,these are craftable by player but they are an epic cost.

Always enjoyed these videos, and the music choices make them even better.

 

Its gonna be a great year for MMOs, with both Vanguard and Guild Wars 2 w/ no subscriptions costs!

 

Never got into Vanguard for obvious reasons, but hopfully it'll pick up once F2P and there will be tens of thousands of others players making it more fun to play and complete content.

Never liked the way character models and armor looks in Vanguard, it was quite promsing but it was relesed in Alpha state.

Never recovered from then on.

Vanguard really needs more people because it has such a huge and open world that's just gaping empty. One could almost argue it's the only MMO to actually warrant flying mounts.

I played Vanguard when it came out. It was a gorgeous game. I remember a start area with an oriental,"Eastern" ,theme that was particularly easy on the eyes. And I also recall standing on a hill watching boats that looked like "Junks"  gliding peacefully down a serene river. Seems you could get a boat in that game; or at least they had that planned. I will try ftp for sure.

This game should have been closed long time ago. Its looks really bad and boring. I just cant imagine ppl who play this game.  

One of those mmorpgs that failed from the whole idea. Looks like they didnt know wich kind of demography they wanted to carter. But maybe its just me.

LOL,so you like a game that has armour like this..

but you dont like a game that has armour like this..

Guess Tera is more your cup of tea with the over the top armour,i prefer the more realistic.

I love the kojan style armor, love that place to bad its only up to level 18, i hope they put more stuff on that place.

Kojan was meant to be as big as the other continents and there was also a fourth continent made as well.As for Kojan being level 18 we have the Ulvari portal which could be opened.

They have already put magi hold on the southern part of Kojan so it has already got content that goes beyond level 18.When was the last time you played Vanguard.

The fouth continent is called Lothenland which is a vast ice and frozen continent.

I disagree. Vanguard had brilliant ideas, but failed at execution due to ego butting and being stuck in development limbo only to end up being bought by SoE and kept on life support so as not to threaten their precious Everquest 2. Hell, when you have diplomacy, adventuring and crafting each pretty much being a separate game in its own right then you know you have something worth looking at.

So just because you don't like the game it should be closed? What about the people who enjoy the game, would you really take the game away from them just because you don't like it? What kind of stupid ass attitude is that? I don't mind people expressing their opinions on a game, but people who want a game to close just because they don't like it really annoys me. For what possible reason could you justify wanting a game to close? A game doe not need tens of thousands of players to be great. There should and is space for small niche games in the market. And thank god for that, and some diversity.

Tried the trial again recently (last time I saw this game was beta) & the trial isle is quite well done, does seem to lack a certain "smoothness" but the grass & trees swaying, the sheer variety of trees & other flora plus the dynamic weather & skies do seem to give the game a much larger & more convincing "world" feel.

The character graphics could have used a bit more variety, sure there are a lot of sliders but the actual visual differences they make are tiny & barely noticeable for the most part, at least facial sliders are. Few too many humans for my tastes.

Enjoying the diplomacy mini-game, quite a steep learning curve on it & the tutorial explanations still felt like you needed to have an understanding of the game before reading them as it was very hard to relate what was being said to the onscreen action but worth persevering with.

If the character & npc models were given a good once-over the game would have a lot more charm to it, animation felt a little stilted but was overall convincing enough, just.

Definitely worth a F2P conversion & I look forward to spending more time with the game & other players when it converts over, I think it could well win subs on it's aesthetics alone & the gameplay is quite deep. Just needs to be given lots of dev love & polish.

I hope they let you start in the city of your race when ftp comes. Do you think they will let you?

The trail is so far away from the real world of Vanguard it's a joke,be prepared to be blown away by some of Vanguards vast world.

I suspect that many who have not gone beyond the trail or played the game will be truly lost.Some areas and dungeons are beyond anything you have ever come across in an mmo.

I agree.  Played the free trial last year and was not in the least impressed.  Hated the combat animations, and the graphics were worse then WoW IMO.

my buddy built one of these very, very costly and time sink boats, just to have it "lost" after a update.

With no help from customer support, he never saw his time sink again. Then he quit that game

I am new to the game to be honest, i was just told by some player back in 2010 that kijan was pretty dead, glade to hear the info thou!  are you still playing know?  

 

look for me*anyone can*  setsua or dracons.
