Vanguard offers free reactivation

Come back. Was it something it said?

Former players of Sony Online Entertainment's fantasy MMO Vanguard: Saga of Heroes are being offered free reactivation of their accounts to try out the game's latest update.

If you have a subscription that's been inactive for more than 60 days, you can access the game for free until 18th October to see the new starting area, revamped character models and "hundreds" of big fixes in Game Update 6.

However, the only things you can do on the free reactivation are create a new character, and play through the new Isle of Dawn Zone until you reach level 10. To progress further or reactivate your old characters, you'll need to resubscribe.

Activation is automatic, as long as you receive the official Vanguard emails - so if you had an account, you can log into it right now. Full details at the official site.
