Vanguard Going Free-to-Play

The March 2012 Vanguard Producer's Letter announces Vanguard is going free-to-play. Here's word on the MMORPG jumping on the free bandwagon, or off the sinking subscription ship, depending on your outlook:

At SOE, giving players choices is the theme of how we're moving forward as a company. We see free-to-play (or as we refer to it, Free to Play. Your Way.) as a big part of our future and we like the flexibility it offers players. Therefore, I'm happy to announce Vanguard will be the next in line of our AAA games to make this transition. Since we've literally just begun on the work, I'm not ready to go into much detail. However, I will say that you can expect something similar to EverQuest®, EverQuest® II and DC Universe™ Online

Everytime I see the title "Vanguard" I think of the old arcade video game "vanguard" from the 80's. I could still remember it well, music and all. I think it was suppose to be the sequel to Defender, it sure looked and played a lot like it.

Me too on Atari 2600! I am surprised they can use that old name. So is this MMOG any better than its beta days? It was OK back then.
