The 2010 content roadmap for Vanguard was revealed in an announcement on the Vanguard official forums, and it's not all good news. Some of the additions players may have expected in 2010 are being shelved indefinitely due to limited resources, which is unfortunate. 

However, on the plus side, this will allow the development team to release smaller, more frequent updates to the game, solving the longstanding issue of major gaps between updates.

Below is a list of the features to be shelved:

• Alternate Advancement

• Halls of Shattered Souls

• Stiirhaad Mountains

• Pankor Zhi

• Nexus

So with the above features out, what is the team going to be working on in 2010? One of the main goals for the Vanguard team in 2010 is executing a server merge to consolidate the community, though they do caution that this is not set in stone.

With the adjustment to the release schedule, the team is also looking to release a chunk of content every month, with the focus being on content for groups ranging from small to normal in size, with the possibility of some raid content tied in.
