SOE is welcoming back former Vanguard players by giving them some free game time to experience recent game improvements.

Those of you who have opted to receive newsletters and promotions from SOE may already be experiencing glee over the recent announcement that Vanguard is welcoming players back to the game, and letting them experience first-hand all the great changes and performance enhancements that have been made!

Vanguard has been experiencing some much-deserved positive buzz, which is not only the result of improvements to the game, but also a testament to our amazing community who certainly do their part to get the word out!

Here's our part! FREE game time! Those who had previously played Vanguard, but cancelled over 60 days ago for whatever reason, should find their accounts reactivated from June 26 th , 2008 until July 31 st 2008.

lol @ $OE, wooFREE game time only to previous players. This game seriously need free trial to ones that never played before.

No it can compete with anything out here now.

So more or less five weeks of free play. and you guys tell us at the start of the fifth week? 

 Why would I take a day to download and patch Vanguard to play it for 5 days?  If this was passed a long, oh I don't know, a month ago when it started, I might have done it.

 I was kind of curious as to how the game evolved with out the circus ring leader McQuaid around to show boat his wonderful dreams that, well, that remained dreams.

So... wait a month, then post the announcement here? I guess there's  still a week left in that.

At this point Vanguard is BY FAR the best game going.

Never thought i'd say that a year ago.

Thought i'd say that 2 years ago..

Funny how things work.

The free trial is on the test server as we speak. The main issue was making the trial small enough to justify downloading it to try it out, cause Vanguard is a BIG game.

Take the day. Trust me. The game is SOOOO much better now that even with only a few days left you'll probably resub.

Month late and a free trial for new players short.
