I feel happy for you that you're so optimistic about Vanguard but ... why is free-to-play always the answer brought up by people now? What's so great about it? I tried DDO and that uses micro-transactions to fund the game. Personally, I don't like it very much. Entropia does the same thing. They're both, technically, free-to-play. However, what I don't like about micro-transactions is they're often not capped on a per month basis. So the company can get the players addicted and then encourage them to spend vast amounts per month to get ahead of the pack. If there's no cap put in place, say a $40 per month cap or something of that nature, then I personally do not feel micro-transactions are an answer. They're, simply, a way for companies to get more money than they did on a subscription plan. (and i mourn for those that get addicted to spending)

I think the point is that regardless of how you feel about the free-to-play model, it has worked for other games that looked as if they were about to die.
