I feel this kicks WoW ass with all the crazy rift events that are going on even at lvl 10 there is so much to do and I've barely done anything. Glad I tried this game, now I purchased the expansion for 20$ and will be playing until this goes F2P im very surprised this game isnt talked about very much since it brings a great change to the mmo scene | ||

And Im all out of gum. Can someone give us a short tutorial on how RIFT is nowadays? I mean how is the pvp? do you do open world pvp? I do not remember alot since the last time I played it and I have to contact support to recover my account so im not sure of what to expect from this game. Also is there a added bonus with specific combos of race/class like in WOW? Ty. | ||

Like a "fly" skill which just helps u speed up the process of getting to mobs (Kill one, fly to the next, instead of walk, ground target) And the rest is like +20 earth / fire / lightning rest depending. I think one race gets a little camoflauge thing that doesnt work very well | ||

I've just picked up TERA and although some parts of the game are a bit annoying (Elins, costumes, general gayness) the combat is really cool, like you actually have to block when an attack is coming, rather than it just being a stat on a character sheet. Is Rift similar? | ||

I remember there was some ridiculous Cleric Shaman/Druid melee DPS spec where like 30 skills went onto 1 button, so all you had to do was hold it down to get one of the highest DPS numbers in the game. I do not know how much this has changed though, and am interested if anyone currently playing has any insight. | ||

Edit: Nvm, relog did the trick Edit 2: For people who haven't reached the minimum playtime for the 30days Storm Legion stuff: Mostly it's enough to just idle in Game with Raptr on | ||

It's basically an unpolished WoW. Which might sound like an insult, but I mean it as a compliment, IMO it's the only MMO that has gotten close to WoW in modern times. The combat is kinda sluggish, the graphics has some issues etc, but gameplaywize it felt a lot like WoW and was even better in a few areas. I personally didn't care for the Rift events etc, but the instances I tried were challenging and fun. If you've never tried, you definitely should when it goes F2P, because IMO until WoW goes F2P (if that ever happens), Rift is the best option for people who don't want to pay subscriptions IMO. | ||

Exactly. Only it improved tenfold from release to when i played it late 2011-early 2012. And its over a year and one expansion after i played too, so it could only have improved. Give it a go :D Quote from the Neverwinter thread.

Fun stuff. Shows how desperate everyone wants a piece of that mmo cake. Garbage after garbage gets poured to the market. You know why WoW was so succesful? Not because it totally reinvented gaming, because it didn't, it copied from its predecessors. It succeeded because Blizzard produced quality, at their own pace. Last few years all we get is rushed out products that maybe stand on their feet for half a leveling experience, if even that, and the survivors of that hurdle die to lack of end game. On topic on Rift again. They really do produce quality over quantity. They have steadily improved and added to their game, fixing bugs / issues and adding unique content for years. Its probably the one thing that makes RIFT stand out from the rest of the MMO crowd, they arent shoving crap out at 10 patches a month. | ||

I added the code to an existing account so i recieved only the storm legion expansion. I assume the 30 days gametime is tied to the original game, like it usually is with MMO's. I didnt want to give up my account as i have a 24 slot starter bag, free mount and +10% currency trinket on it :D + a lvl 35 rogue, but thats meh. No problem, 2 weeks and its going f2p! Ive seen alot of interest in this in other threads and stuff but not alot here, is anyone interested in starting a TL guild? Poll: TL Guild? Will you join? Yay. (12) Nay. (0) May. (0) 12 total votes Your vote: TL Guild? Will you join? I wont actually go further with this unless i get like 50+ votes. | ||

I'm playing as Aroused on Bloodiron-EU, which is the only english-speaking pvp server. If TL guild is to happen we should make sure everyone rolls on the same server, to avoid what happened in Tera (they split roughly 50/50 on PvE and PvP, although some of it may have been due to pre-f2p) | ||

Im not sure if its just for previous subs however, so people without an old account might not be able to access it. Im looking forward to leveling my 35 rogue before it goes fully f2p on the 12th :D I also pre-emptively transfered to BloodIron EU, the only active PvP server atm. Hopefully it can build up a nice community as it died off pre-F2P. If not, only 1 week between free transfers anyway  | ||

Anyone playing on bloodiron? :D Really feel like this MMO fills a niche in the market, a good traditional MMO on a F2P system, the only other "good" f2p games i can think of are TERA. Thats it. Which has a very different battle system and game mechanics. Also, something else others "might" be invested in is GW2, without its subscriptions, which again, isnt traditional. | ||
