The official release date been announced by SOE here. The waiting for Vanguard fans is almost over.

Some mmo players, me included, consider Vanguard to be one of the best mmorpg games out there. Shame that when it was first released it was plagued by huge amount of bugs which just drove players away. But this game offers lots of qualities, from a strong PVE game, to one of the best crafting system close to already dead Star Wars Galaxies or a huge continent to explore full of dungeons (which themselves are huge), or even housing and, i don't want to be wrong, building your own boat.
What to expect of the f2p version for this game? Well I'm expecting something closer to Everquest or Everquest 2, where f2p players can only access some classes and/or limited gear. I do believe the game will be somewhat playable for the f2p player, but players must be aware this game is strongly based on group play, so if SOE decides to block access to gear for f2p, i suspect game play will be a bit harder then the usual. The next picture can be a bit more illustrative.
I still hope SOE would allow players to gain Station Coins points for the marketplace while playing the game, much like Turbine Points. I wouldn't expect it to be much but something minimal to keep players enticed to keep on playing. Would be interesting to be awarded Station Coins on Everquest when doing achievements.
By the way, there will be a new Vanguard: Saga of Heroes site here.
