Sony Online Entertainment confirmed recently that Vanguard: Saga of Heroes has officially made the switch over to free-to-play. What this means is that players can choose from certain races and classes, with all classes are playable for free up until level 20, and a selection of others max out at level 55, with some other restrictions in bag slots, guild functions and character slots; those who pay the $14.99 subscription fee will receive access to all content and 12 character slots.
“SOE recognized the successful evolution of free-to-play online gaming early on and we were one of the first publishers to truly embrace the business model,” said John Smedley, President, Sony Online Entertainment. “We have a long history of providing rich and compelling content to our online worlds through the free-to-play model, and with Vanguard’s transition, we continue that legacy with one of our most popular titles.”
“Moving to a free-to-play model allows the opportunity to expand the Vanguard universe by adding and tailoring content to appeal to all types of players,” said Andy Sites, Director of Development, Sony Online Entertainment. “We have significant plans for new content that we cannot wait to share with the community. The development team is designing and implementing all new quests that take players through some of the most beautiful and challenging areas in the game.”
