Vanguard pre-order clarifications |
Ó
A couple of days ago, we announced that the pre-orders for Vanguard: Saga of Heroes are already out. As much as the news brought joy and excitement among fans, certain matters needed some clarifications. Fortunately, online site Ten Ton Hammer was able to catch up with Sigil Games Community Manager Nick "Glip the Gnome"
Parkinson for a short chit-chat.Those who pre-ordered online aren't assured of the same benefits those who placed their pre-orders in person would be getting. In short, pre-order boxes get goodies, the online ones don't. The freebies include beta access and head start play. Glip the Gnome explained though, that retailers are looking for a work-around:
Gamestop has said they're trying to get keys from SOE. I'm not aware of that happening, but I am trying to find out from someone over there what the deal is. But for now, yeah, people need to physically get the pre-order box.
Also, Glip mentioned the need to specify what beta access fans would be getting. It seemed that fans thought they would immediately jumped into beta once they get their pre-orders. Sorry to disappoint but these are only for the open beta. Glip expressed some disappointments:
The instructions in the pre-order box (which is on an index-sized card) say open beta no less than 5 times--twice in giant bold letters--and clearly says it in every way we could possibly think of. I really dont know how much more clear we could have been.
Lastly, the three month access does not refer to gameplay. Instead, it means that the collector's edition pre-order box comes with three months of access to Vanguard Station Players, a website with character stats and guild management tools. Other participating retail stores include Best Buy, Fry's and a few others.
