Actually I've noticed a lot more people playing and giving it a try lately, partly due to AoC's failure. This is the perfect time for them, the game is having a revival of sorts.

 The new trail island is coming out this summer. One reason for no trail now is because the current client is a huge download. So the trail island client will be a lot more resonable, and better catered to introducing new players to the game. They also needed to pull the the old trail because gold spammers got out of control abusing the trail accounts. After the gold spam attack VG suffered before I wouldn't be surprised if the new trail island also has things in place to greatly reduce the impact for gold spammers to abuse the trail.

Well I reinstalled it prematurely I guess... My station account has EQ1 and 2 active right now (bleh), but all I really wanted to try again was Vanguard. I bought the game when it came out and played for a month. Since then I have upgraded my computer significantly, so I'd love to see if I can now get into the game, since most of the technical hurdles are either patched or will be overcome by my new hardware.

Hurry up and activate it SOE!

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

I pre ordered and stopped playing when my free time run out, but I am going to check it out since my account got opened too. I have been hearing positive things about the game for a bit now, so I am curious what has been done. Boy does it takes a long time to update from the pre order install to current version! :p

People can hate on SoE if they like but whoever siezed on this opportunity is a pretty smart cookie. It's the perfect time for them to have done it.

Even sandboxes have fundamental rules such as; "Don't eat the cat poop, you'll die."

Couldnt agree more,  Im glad they didnt wait until Trial Island or GU6.

ive recently re-subbed as well and Im soo addicted, the single only problem is still population, but this offer should bring a LOT more players back.

Vangaurd really does show you what an mmo should be like

I also got an email from SOE as well.  Anyone want to give some feedback as to how the performance issues are to date?
