Still waiting on parts for my computer... otherwise I'll be on this.

Perhaps I should use the computer at my parents place instead of waiting... maybe after the 1.2 patch?

Getting an MMO itch again. Almost feel like looking into this.

You should! It's a top game that keeps getting better and has endless potential!

You can basically spend a whole day just closing rifts, which is a lot of fun in itself, then you've got the quests/story, massive characters customization and PVP.

Probably the best MMO graphics ever, gameplay almost identical to WoW and it's still new enough that you won't feel left behind at all.

I don't think I could spend a whole day doing nothing but closing rifts. They don't really differ that much. Walk in, kill mobs and rift closes. Same thing every almost every time with the rare variation.

I do however love the invasion events. The only problems with them is when the population of "special" people that are in every MMO drag it down for everyone else. No one ever guards the Wardstones and 5/10 times the event is a failure. And as I said before there is also the issue of them sometimes triggering when there clearly isn't enough people in the zone to deal with them.

I agree on the class system. It give your character a lot of options and it's really fun to play with.

I haven't really played many MMOs apart from WoW so I don't really know where the bar is set on questing in the MMO world but the questing in RIFT is a little bit a of a let down for me. It's mainly do/collect/kill x number of this and it really isn't much better than Vanilla wow questing before the Cataclsym changes.

I haven't tired the PVP yet. Really focused on getting to lvl 50 so I can see what the game has to offer in end game PVE content. Raid content in particular.

I'm not talking about the mentally handicapped if that's what you are thinking. I'm talking about the kind of people who can make it the lvl cap and still not know how to perform any of their class roles in at least a half competent fashion. The kind of people who get big flashing messages on their screen telling them to stop standing the fire yet they still stand it and blame there healers for their death.

Heh, nah, I didn't think you were, I just didn't know what type of people you were referring to in the MMO-scape (i.e. as you said, those who level to the max level and still don't know how to play their character).

There is nothing better in an MMO than getting the praise of other players for playing your character so well

1.2 patch is out now, some big additions and changes.

Also, there's a free 7 day refer-a-friend thing. Anyone without the game, give me a yell if you want mine...

I was waiting for 1.2 before I jumped on... damn I shouldn't have started Shogun ! I would raise my hand for the 7 day trial, but considering I already actually own the game, I think someone more worthy should get that

hey Guys

Im Arnor and unless you hang out on the Nintendo forums you probably Havent seen me

Anyway last year I got a job as the Marketing Coordinator for City Hunter Cyber Cafe Group (a chain of Cyber Cafes in Sydney).

Ive managed to scored a couple dozen "7 Day Trial Passes" for the game RIFT, RIFT is installed at all our stores (Chinatown, Haymarket, Burwood, Bondi and Chatswood) but for those of you that live interstate or overseas these passes will also allow you to d/l the game from your home PC.

If you want one PM me and ill fire one across

Actually Phreakuency, apparently you can hand out as many as you like, and each one you hand out nets you an ingame prize. First is a pet dog, then a hat, then a fiery horse. So if you are still handing out passes, I'll take one

So is anyone new playing?

Pagan's Mind · Posted: Sun May 22, 2011 3:00 pm�� Post subject:

Was just about to say "wanna party up?" but I can see you've reached level 50

. Congrats.

I've been playing the trial with a friend over the past few days and we're only level 11 so far. It's been an absolute blast. It kind of reminds me of Guild Wars in a way. I picked a Rogue with Ranger/Bard/Marksman souls.

I'll let you all know when I actually start up, too much to play atm

Cyph · Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 10:23 pm�� Post subject:

Just installing Rift but I probably won't play it until the weekend. It asks me to select a region; NA or Europe, we all on NA?

Roger! Now to look into what class to play. I'm leaning towards bard. Are there any particular classes that are underplayed?

Scrav · Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 6:23 pm�� Post subject:

Also, I beliee the unofficial Aussie servers are:

Briarcliff - PVP
Wolfsbane - PVE

In addition I know quite a few people in my MMO guild are playing on Tearfall, which has guilds such as The Older Gamers (TOG).

Not sure on classes post release, but the Justicar (priest class with no healing) was quite an impressive class in beta.

Is anyone on Threesprings? Probably not but doesn't hurt to ask

. My character is Sirius so if anyone wants to add me.

Cyph · Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 11:23 am�� Post subject:

I haven't had time to sign up for my subscription yet, I'm tempted to finish LA Noire and The Witcher 2 first before moving onto Rift. Usually MMOs suck all free time out of my life.

Pagan's Mind · Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 4:25 pm�� Post subject:

It is really addictive. I was playing with a friend last night and before we knew it it was 3:30am

.

Rift looks really stunning when you just stop and look around. I'm so use to consoles and their limitations that I start to forgot how powerful modern PCs are nowadays.
