Title: RIFT!
Post by: dragonx on March 10, 2011, 09:10:48 am: So rift is a new mmo that came out last week and its super cool and has really cool graphics

http://riftgame.com (http://riftgame.com/) <-- website for lore and all that crap

http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Rift_Wiki (http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Rift_Wiki) although this website is far better for actual information

well its just WoW but with a cooler class system but that can't be that bad right

anyway screenshots for some kind of substance for a topic:

Post by: hobomasterxxx on March 10, 2011, 10:49:16 am: Basically looks like pretty WoW. I got bored of WoW, so I'd probably get bored of this too.

Post by: goldenratio on March 10, 2011, 05:27:15 pm: yeah i want to try Rift just because I still kind of like WoW, but I just can't bring myself to play games like anymore. I was contemplating buying Rift but instead i just logged into WoW (my account is active because my brother plays it) and tried to play for like an hour. I was so bored.

haha I quit WoW because it was just boring me so much. It got to the point where I'd log on and just sit in org for like 20min just doing nothing but shifting in and out of bird form.

I tried rift and it caught me with the "it feels like WoW but plays completely differently in a different setting" its nice

Post by: Massy2k6 on March 10, 2011, 11:41:41 pm: I'm getting into this, but like wow I lost interest mid-way through so will see how long it lasts for me.

Oh. I'm tempted to go look for a screenshot of the original UI now.

Post by: Swordfish on March 11, 2011, 09:05:01 am: I got into the closed beta, playd it once, didn't bother again, i'm not going to play an mmo that is almost a clone of wow, it DOES have some interesting things however, you can almost make your own class, and the rift encounters are an interesting concept.

Post by: DS on March 12, 2011, 08:19:24 am: this game seems too much like wow. i bet once the initial novelty wears down you'll be bored in no time if you have played a lot of wow. i read a few reviews and impressions and i just get the feeling rift is playing it too safe.

yeah if that happens it'll probably be soon at least, so I won't end up buying a second month

but so far all I'm doing is having fun...

Post by: Swordfish on March 12, 2011, 01:55:18 pm: then i guess it was money well spent.

Post by: Massy2k6 on April 03, 2011, 01:11:37 pm: I soloed my way to the lev cap easily enough, there isnt much of a challenge when it comes to questing. I'll be interested to see what the raid content is like although it might be a while as we wait for more to reach the lv cap.

Post by: goldenratio on April 04, 2011, 04:07:20 pm: I would love a free trial access code!! I've wanted to try rift but not sure if it's too much like wow or if my comp can handle it decently. Is the free trial over???
Title: RIFT!
Post by: Massy2k6 on April 06, 2011, 09:52:58 am: It was only valid from the 1st of april to the 4th, at least thats what it said in the email they sent me with the code.

FQNY-WDWW-MHK7-XTDH-7Z9L

you can try it if you want but i doubt it will work now.

what a boring visual style

I agree. Reminds me of Warhammer online, which I just got tired of looking at

edit: but shit that air rift screenshot looks cool! lol

Post by: Dead Phoenix on April 08, 2011, 11:49:40 pm: Whose is playing on what server(and what faction)? I played solo in the beta, don't think I'm interested in doing so again, so I'd like to actually have some people to play with this time if it all possible.

Title: RIFT!
Post by: Massy2k6 on April 09, 2011, 04:26:01 pm: I play on the english server Refuge as a Defiant which is currently medium populated although it almost always feels really dead.

I would certainly recommend you find a server with high population otherwise you will probably spend most your time soloing which defeats the purpose of an MMO.
