bgcolor="#396280" valign="bottom"> style="font-weight: bold;">We have some folks asking
questions about the trial island plans you announced in your recent
game update. While some folks find the trial island a great idea,
others are viewing it as "dishonest," giving an optimized preview of
Vanguard that has not yet become reality in the live game. Can you tell
us more about how the trial island will work?

align="right" border="0" height="143" width="145"> The trail island will be a free
demo. It does not replace any of the existing content. If you buy the
box or the digital download, you will start in a normal newbie zone and
you will never see the trail Island. If you decide not to buy the game
but instead decide to download the trail island, then you would only
get that experience and it would be in place of the regular newbie
content. If after that point you like the game, you would then be
transferred over to the regular content starting at whatever level the
trail island caps off at.
There’s no good way to answer the
“dishonest” question. We will do our best to make
sure the optimization tricks we learn from the trail island make it to
the live game ASAP. In addition, art will finish the island before
design populates it, so while design is populating, art will be
optimizing the existing game. So [by the time] the trail island does go
live, the rest of the game should be much better. Keep in mind
programming is still working on optimizations as well during
this time. If we never optimized the rest of the game starting
now, I think [the folks who say the trial island is dishonest] would
have a valid point, but that’s not the case.
