From their FAQ: "Vanguard: Saga Of Heroes will employ a variation on the traditional corpse retrieval death penalty Ã¢Â€Â“ you die, you return to your bind point but leave a corpse behind and that corpse contains the items and coin you had in your possession. You're encouraged to return to your corpse with another set of gear stored at the nearest outpost if you desire to retrive your other possessions."

Sounds pretty brutal to me.

Did they ask them why the dungeons in the screenshots they've released so far look just like the crappier EQ2 dungeons? The one in the screenshots looks just like the newbie dungeon, Vermin's Snye. Did they ask them why they have no style to their artwork? Why is everything just super generic looking like their 3d modeler just blatantly stole some website's "fantasy warrior" and "wizard" 3d model tutorial? I really see no reason for this game to exist.
The artwork is blah, the game mechanics are even worse (grinding for grinding's sake is a terrible gameplay mechanic, and uber death penalties are stupid). Someone please shoot this game.
