]]> Vanguard goes Free to Play... Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:42:00 +0000 http://www.ascendence.org/home/article/641036/m/199698/page/2 http://www.ascendence.org/home/article/641036/m/199698/page/2 ..........

Vanguard going Free-to-Play

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 when we roll-out our free-to-play offering this summer. Once we have more information to share, you'll be the first to know.
 

Getting the band back together...

Now for the part I'm most excited about, let's talk about the great team of developers we've assembled. To begin (and I realize I'm stating the obvious) we've had a dry spell of game updates over the past few months. That said, I'm happy to announce the drought will be coming to an end this week, with our first scheduled update since last December. We plan to roll out game updates MUCH more frequently than years past, which will include general improvements, new content and more.

A few weeks ago, we began ramping up the Vanguard development team with some familiar faces. Our criteria was simple; we wanted the most Vanguard-knowledgeable, passionate developers. While we plan to continue growing the team over the next few months, I wanted to briefly introduce a few of our team leads, including Salim "Silius" Grant (Creative Director), Todd "Hobart" Schmidt (Technical Director) and me, Andy Sites (Director of Development). Fortunately, I am the only noob to the world of Vanguard, although having been part of the original EverQuest, EverQuest II, Free Realms, and Clone Wars Adventures teams, I've spent most of my career working on MMOs.

Over the next several weeks, we plan to roll-out individual "spotlight" pieces for each team member, to give you an opportunity to get to know each of them. In addition, you can expect to see more frequent game updates, as well as more detailed information regarding the upcoming free-to-play aspects of Vanguard.

 Thestra Attacked....Many killed!

At 10:32am Ancient Port Warehouse opened its doors and unleashed horror and myham on the land of thestra.

The only way to contain it was to find and kill the leader of all minions, Kota himself. A brave few including myself fought the beast til the sun rose in the sky and until victory and loot was ours. screenshot here

As many of you known in Star Wars we have grown to be one of the largest
guilds on our server.

But with that, we are aware that there will be a few that the game did not hold
interest or was not quite what they were looking for.
If you are planning to move on, please talk with Atraeus in game or by message
on this site for other gaming opportunities within Ascendence in various games.

We enjoy the company of our guildies

       ....and always wish for them to continue to be part of our guild.

We continue to have quality issues with our Teamspeak server and have
decided to make a change.

After hearing that Mumble has almost phone like quality we decided to test it.
The clarity was amazing!

We will be making a switch to Mumble over the next week.
