Poll - Will you continue to play Vanguard?

Now that we had time for the news about Live Gamer and RMT to sink in, what do you plan to do?
I am a brand new Vanguard player and I am having concerns after reading all the points being made in the Official forums. I love the game but I have not invested too much of my time to it. I don't know if I should walk away and see what happens before deciding to come back or to stick it out.

You are missing the most likely answer. Yes - don't care about RMT, won't participate.
Nope Ive quit.
If they do the EQ2 thing and put it on one server then ill resub.. not till then.

Right, and you speak for EVERYBODY.
Ban yourself.
Why don't you ask the same question on the official forums.This forum is not the holding forum of most VG players. To ask this question here and look for an answer that will help you make up your mind on wheather you play VG is DUMB.
Go to the main forums and you shall see that people are making threads about it(not many) but are still playing the game.

agreed
enough of those fanbots , best allies of companies
I played at the beginning and returned a couple of months ago (for the 3rd time). I am going to keep my subscription going and will be playing regularly.
Apparently there is a mini expansion coming.......I can't wait!
People should give this game a go, this is a quality game.
P.S. I think your poll is to limited. It should have more options.
I only re subbed last week, but once it was announced and the players concerns ignored I decided to cancel my sub.
Exactly. I dont like it but I dont think it will affect me.
I already quit because of this stupid RMT sweep SoE has going on. Im going back to FFXI most of my friends from Vanguard are some ex FFXI friends so we're just going to go back there and get going on the ToAU expansion. (We quit right before it came out).
At first I was extremely pissed, as I despise RMT. But then I said fuck it, Vanguard is just too good of a game to walk away from, even for nonsense like this. If I stop playing VG, I wouldn't know where to go. No PVE game comes close to VG (and I've played them all). I won't ever use the RMT, and I don't think the playerbase of VG is large enough for RMT to make any difference. If it gets really bad, though (which I doubt), I will leave.

I plan to keep playing VG with a wait-and-see attitude. If RMT radically changes the dynamics of the game, then I'll quit. If it doesn't effect me, then I'll keep playing as VG is the best PvE game available today.

You can't really ask the question on the official forums unless you want it buried somewhere beneath 85+ pages of replies. Which the thread will just be deleted in a couple of months anyhow to wipe away any trace of players being upset.
Canceled. I like Diplomacy, i like Vg's craft and VG's dungeons are huge and impressive. VG's classes are really great . But i don't know what to do.VG is one of my prefered MMOS with Dark Age of camelot but it belongs to SOE... I 'm afraid next step will be CS then another bad thing, another game killer. I can't trust SOE anymore. VG needs a lot of new players but we can fear a massive exodus. To pay a sub + an item shop is UNACCEPTABLE.
Can we expect a relaunch ? I don't think so
Can we expect more money for this game ? no
Can we expect an expansion ? no
Can we expect more GU for 2009 ? no, players waits for POTA since months...
What can we really expect from SOE ? A Cash shop and some bug fixes. No more no less
My account is still active, i don't know what to do.
war: Tried War yesterday: boring, really boring.
Aoc: this game has <100 K subs
Wow: can't bear
DAOC: old and small cty now
EQ2: heavily instanced, can't bear
SWG: a failure
DFO: another DnL
MO: who knows ? Another AOC ?
AION: i can't play corean mmos
KOTOR online : release for 2010 maybe 2011
Can play Lotro but Lotro's craft is not at the same level and there's nothing like Diplomacy.
Yeah this would have been the best choice for me. Choice one is over the top and choice 2 is really negative...

People still willingly pay for this game? *mind boggled* The last time SOE tried to give me a couple months playtime for Vanguard I tried it for a few days and was already bored of the lack of players & things to do.
If I were still playing the game, I would have quit after hearing this news. I refuse to support any gaming company that institutes Real Money Transactions or Micro Transactions in their MMO. I refuse to be nickel and dimed in any game and these companies certainly have not earned the right to receive more income beyond 15 bucks a month. Unless they start packing these games with a lot more entertaining content (read: not a bunch of grinding bullshit) then they might deserve to increase their fees. Then there's the whole fairness issue, but most companies could care less about morals.
What's even more insulting is that SOE wants the monthly sub plus the micro transactions, what a freaking greedy and disgusting business model. What exactly have they added to any of their MMO's to justify the increased income? They already charge for the expansions. They already make a huge profit margin on the subscriptions. It's utter non-sense and any player that buys into it, deserves their fate. Have fun emptying your wallet for these blood sucking bastages.
With PvE raiding, it has never been a question of being "good enough". I play games to have fun, not to be a simpering toady sitting through hour after hour of mind numbing boredom and fawning over a guild master in the hopes that he will condescend to reward me with shiny bits of loot. But in games where those people get the highest progression, anyone who doesn't do that will just be a moving target for them and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay money for the privilege. - Neanderthal
Couldn't find anything to do? Really? Have you actually played it?
Everytime I log on I am overwhelmed with the number of options at all levels that I have. There is so much to do I get lost in it all.
I wish there were more people on during the evenings I play but I am happy to keep going for a long time to come.
I enjoy playing Vanguard and will continue to play it. I really don't think RMT will affect me at all.
Agreed.
Vanguard is truly one of the best, if not the best PvE MMOs out there, people love the game and LiveGamer isn't enough to quit over. I don't don't think LiveGamer will have much impact at all and the subs should keep increasing.
That said, I also think the community will do it's damnest to kill LiveGamer by boycotting it. No one will use it, it'll have no volume or impact and hopefully it's forgotten and pulled out. The EQ2 LiveGamer services has almost no activity from what I understand.
I will continue to play.
I havent seen much talk about this in game. I played for 6 hours last night and saw it mentioned once and it was
"What do you think of the RMT change?"
"Dont really care, it wont bother me none"
"Whats RMT?"
"Real Money Transfer"
I dont do anything with RMT type services but I will also not let it prevent me from playing a game I like.
I do need to pay my subscription. Do I also adding to that pay for some tiems in a chasshop?
Compared to other cashshop based games.
Continue with the support for chinese sweatshops, they need to earn their living and not lose out something like this that SOE is doing.
I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.
