Just me or does this scream "Buy the game now before its to late!".
Never tried vanguard and not bashing the game whatsoever, just never seen a game release veteran rewards so early.
How about celebrating by fixing the issues that are causing players to cancel subscriptions or not purchase all together?
Shows how little u know about MMO's.
VG got released to early they prob added what they wanted to get in befor it went to release but since VG got pushed to be in the stores they adding it now hence the patch so early.
About the veteran awards u get that in in alot of games around 1 month 3 months 6 months and so on.
In my eye's vanguard is getting better and better people that complain they cant run the game properly 2bad for u time to upgrade from a P3 to something better. If friends of mine can play it with a P4 and 1 gig ram so can u just dont put it all on extreme high. Hopefully VG will leave all the crying kids in wow and will the more mature people join VG.
VG keep it going SOE stay on the background please and put the station pass price back to 24,99 if not 21,99
{ Mod Edit }
The game has just been out for a short time every game has buggs at the start not like EQ2 / Lineage 2 / eve-online or wow had no buggs they all full of em at release.
ATM lvl 25 and i dont mind the buggs it part of the release if u dont like it please stay away cause u just causing alot of grief for nothing.
I keep hearing people saying 'Just wait this game is going to get better. It's going to be great once they fix everything.'
I don't buy a car with promises that they'll fix the steering or brakes. It's appalling that there are people saying players should try this game when it's clearly still in beta. If Sigil needs to pull these kind of XP stunts to try to keep people leaving because of the bugs, then maybe they shouldn't have released the game with the bugs in the first place.
I would buy the game and try it but with SOE raising the monthly fees. I just said to myself. "Keep playing Wow until WAR comes out."
All software developers release thier stuff full of buggs look at Microsoft alone if it cost several million dollars to make a game and cost r getting to much u release it so u get some steady income back. The XP stunt is to make up for the vaulty quests that didnt give the amount of xp they should have done and same for the tombstone not giving back all the xp u lost.
Again get over yourselves how can u compare a car with software at all.
I miss DAoC
Couldn't have said it any better.
As long as people blindly support this type of crap you can bet Sony will continue to push it on them.
They do sound desperate, trying to get people to buy now with the "veteran-bait". I mean, we all know they released early in order to get money, and now this?

Two wrongs don't make one right. Just because there are companies releasing half-assed mmo's it doesn't make it right to get going at it. Heck, there are mmos out there with good launches. Want an example? A tale in the desert. It is an indie's mmo, and yet it is quite polished.
Enduring bugs is one thing, enduring bugs and ignoring them as an issue is another entirely.
Again, the "gotta upgrade your computer" argument is invalid. There is people with troubles while using high-end computers.
People have to stop being fanbois and start to be gamers.

station pass increase is for station pass members which is a special sub that gives you a sub to EVERY SOE online game.
price for being subbed to just vanguard hasnt changed.
Anyway the game isn't for everyone, those with med-range system "might" not enjoy it (some will it all depence how much love you have for MMORPG, if you just like games then maybe V;SoH isn't for you, the game is very system demanding, but for those that have the system those minor bugs wouldn't hinder us, its probably the more mature crowed that has been playing MMORPG for along time now so we understand what it takes to bring a game this large to the public. if people fail to see the depth of Vanguard al I can say maybe its time for them to move to a different genre of games and leave MMORPG's to those that really enjoy them, most of you want single player game experience in a MMORPG. I don't like bugs nor do I like games that have them, but I’m not a level grinder so the amount of bugs I hear people scream about I hardly notice and probably when I hit their level they might already be fixed. Besides I can only compare WOW to fast food (but that’s just a personal opinion), in the last 3 years of MMORPG's Vanguard comes the closest of what I really want out of a MMORPG. So far Sigil is holding up on their promises and its getting better and better. Get over it if you can not run the game properly, else if you can try the MMORPG approach instead of the FPS type game play, you might amaze yourself
PRice of Station Pass increase might lead to all their single sub rate increase in the future. Best to keep finger cross on that.
All canceled. Waiting on Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning.
From a game development stand point, Vanguard has very few if any show stoppers at all.
I really can't see why they can't celebrate 1 month in by releasing a ton of new content.
Making up stuff like "Sounds a bit desperate" just reconfirms you don't like the game rather than you actually have any point.
Now playing: VG (after a long break from MMORPGS)
Played for more than a month: Darkfall online, Vanguard SOH, Everquest, Horizons, WoW, SWG, Everquest II, Eve

1. It is desperate. When's the last time you've heard of an even moderately successful game resorting to "rewards" for staying for more than 1 month (rofl it's really funny if you think about it).
2. My point is I'm going to "dis" the game every chance I can get. They ripped every customer off when they released this pos in the condition it is. And since I can't get my 50 bucks back I figure I have at least a few months of enjoyment they owe me. Might as well get it some way!
It seems u can understand my english with no probs or u wouldnt be able to comment on em at all would you ??
Also i been playing mmo's prob longer then most of you have been out of trainer nappy's sofar i have done it all so dont tell me to or not to be a fanboy cause i putting some people in the right place.
This game is really nice and i will keep saying it if u like it or not doesnt concern me atall.
Have fun and enjoy the games u playing if not time to pissoff and find a other game simple as that aint it ??
And what you don't realize is there are people here who were suckered into paying for this pos game based on pie in the sky marketing and promises.
SOooooo it's payback time. That is unless Sigil want's to announce a game buyback program for all of those who didn't realize they were lied into buying a beta game as release.
I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate in the beta this way I had a glimpse of what the ‘vision’ was going to be. I kept a cautious optimism, however I feel Brad and his team grossly misrepresented the game. I wasn’t expecting another Everquest, yet at the same time I did have a little higher expectation from a guy that made what I felt was one of the best MMO’s to date.
As far as the car and happy meal analogy, neither of these are as complex as hundreds upon thousands, lines of code, not to mention configuring hardware to software and appealing to all the different game systems consumers have. Besides, how many MMO’s have had a true polished and clean launch?

game release veteran rewards so early.
hm what I can se it's a A Founder's reward
those who started playing now get a reward now just like lotr do now
Game for your life
Veteran means long time member...
If Sigil is giving out "Veteran" rewards after one month, and veteran means long term, I guess that speaks volumes about the games longevity.
How about let's not compare a multi-million dollar pc game with a burger from a restaurant? What, can you eat Vanguard?
