I guess it comes down to commitment. Its not cash that counts but time. I will invest a lot of my spare time playing a MMORPG. Building my character. I will care a great deal about how Vanguard develops especially if I am looking to spend 5+ years in game.

I played AC2 which Microsoft meddled with until Turbine dumped them. The game never really recovered.

I never played SWG but it seems SOE meddled in that game. EQ2 I feel was in part rescued by SOE who took action to prevent the game hitting the rocks. Unfortunately the action was to make to game easier to solo, the very thing that the core of Vanguard fans fear the most.

I have "nailed my colors to the mast" I am sticking with Vanguard but I will be keeping my fingers crossed that if the player numbers drop Sigil have the resources to take appropriate action without needing SOE to rescue the game.
