Many thanks.

One thing I haven't read about is pvp combat.  I imagine they will have it but how will it be?

1. Will it be on pvp only servers? And regular servers with no pvp?

2. How will it work?  Faction vs faction, or race vs race as in WoW?

I'm trying to read as much as possible on Vanguard.

I believe I read where its in beta. But if you pre-order the game it can you join the server for beta?

Is January still the release date?

Thanks

1) There will be multiple Ruleset Servers, including Full PVP, Regular, RP, etc.

2) There will PVP on all servers, to some degree. On regular Servers they are hinting that there will be areas where you will have a PVP Flag based on your Dip Scores & Guild... no official details have been announced.

3) It will vary per server, but it seems your Dip Scores (what various groups think of you) & your Guild Alliance will play a part. There are no WoW style "Sides", but you can ally yourself with Kingdoms and effect larger political / military disputes, or at least the Dev's said a while back.

4) I'm not sure how the pre-order works. Be sure to check thier site.

5) Febuary to MArch seems to be closer to the release date... butthere have been no announcements.

I'm establishing a collection of every Vanguard related website in existence at:

Yeah, I saw it. I've been waiting for more things to add before I do the next edit (due to the Forum change, I have to redo the links, ARGH) but it doesn't seem like we'll be getting many more, so I'll add it today or tomorrow, when I get a chance.

Sorry for the delay Cuff, it's coming...

After playing through beta and up until about the end of January, I called it quits when I got into another beta with this game (as well as not having enough time at that time to actually do anything). Now, I'm in the process of patching the game up, which should take a good 3 hours, and going to give it another whirl this weekend. It sounds like a lot of good has been done to this game, looking forward to it!

Most of the sites on the 1st page of this threads resources are dead links to domains that are on hold with ads on them. I really would like to see this sticky updated or see a new resource topic since the OP hasn't updated this in 2 years. 

I have to redownload the whole game and for it to patch I have to sub so i'd like to keep up to date without subbing so if I wanted to play again I could just do it without fuss and waiting couple months because the games bigger than my montly allowance. I might be playing free realms if it isn't too kiddy anyways.

heh i might be the one to update the resources if no-ones up for it. I re-subscribed last month and I'm enjoying the game a lot more better then when i was in the beta and the games release.

I'm currently re-exploring the areas outside the starter zones/ isles of dawn in each of the 3 continents, finding resourceful sites like vanguardcrafters.com/ for crafting, www.vgtact.com/ for diplomacy and anguardquests.wikidot.com/start for quest walk through for the Isle of Dawn are few of the good sites i keep track of updates for helpful advise in this world of Vanguard.

Thanks VGameOZZ for the links!

New to game here, and came across the above which gave some nice lore to help get into the flavour of the game.
