Vanguard Beta (Fileplanet)

Just got an email from Fileplanet about the Vanguard beta. Said it will start in early January and you can download the client now.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Client - 6.45GB

I hope its decent I've been waiting awhile for this.

I have a 4MB Telewest line and a annual membership and it's pretty rare that it maxes out the conenction. Usually hovers between 200/300KB

And if it's a closed beta where do we get the key for access, do FilePlanet hand them out next month?

I'm in another MMORPG beta anyway so won't be trying this one for a while.

I hope this is a temporary thing, until they get the European servers up or something or I won't be impressed. Especially after downloading 7gB.

Just recieved an email from Fileplanet.

Unfortunately, between the pre-promotion of the program and its launch this evening, we had to restrict access to U.S./Canadian residents only. However, since you signed up before the restriction, we're going to set aside some keys and make sure you get one.

Should hopefully recieve it in the next few days. Guessing this will apply to anyone else who applied a couple of weeks back.

There's some screenshots in the 800x600 thread, graphics looks pretty nice. Wasn't an awesome rig it was being played on either so I think 7800GTX should have handled it fine. Bit strange that.

Can you login to Fileplanet through a proxy? I tried this morning but it wouldn't let me.

All you need to do is find a "high anonymity" North American based web proxy server, slam it into your browser of choice and then click the sign up link Then you get your beta key

I suggest google for "proxy server" might yield some results.

Thanks, I think it was because I was being lazy and using web based proxies, instead of doing it through the browser.

All sorted now.

For anyone who doesn't want to use a proxy and get it now. Eurogamer will be handing out keys on the 8th.
