Liking the game so far, not sure about the multiple spec's early game, it feels weird having a mage with a tank pet.

Really enjoyed the couple of rift battles that i've played so far

Re: Rift

Just a heads up for you new players. Make sure to sign up on a "high population server" instead of something like "medium". Because "medium" even during prime time hours are pretty freaking dead. And when I say dead, they are DEAD.

If you are going to do pvp server, try and get onto Briarcliff which has a good population. Though one downside with high populations servers I heard are that on weekends primetime , the server queues could last over 2 hours. But trust me it's worth it. Nothing is more irritating/boring when you have to do quests alone.

I just hope to god they allow server transfers soon.

Re: Rift

Friend of mine sent me an AIM last night:

"Goddamned RIFT free 7 day trials... 300 person queue on Briarcliff"

They gave me enormous amounts of **** for making them start on Briarcliff when the game came out and we had 3k+ person queues to get in (3+ hour wait) but I'm sure they appreciate it now.

This. It's so hard finding groups even with the queues!

Re: Rift

I have reached the level 15 cap for the trial, not before purchasing a mount with the gold that I had earned! I enjoyed the game but don't really have any IRL or school friends who play so I think that buying the game and levelling solo might become tedious. What I'm going to do is play the WoW trial again, see how I like it and make a decision to buy one or the other after that.

Re: Rift

Good Idea. The only reason I play is because I have one good friend who I play with and 2 friends across the country that I keep in touch with because we play together.

Re: Rift

Can anyone tell me if they have added the ability to view enemy nameplates yet like in WoW (V/ cntrl +V)

I never got past lv9 because the graphics were so high quality that I could not tell the difference between a dirt road and a dirt road with about 32 mobs waiting to kick the **** out of me. I then decided that until they add such a basic feature then the game is not worth grinding up and getting upset over. Even RTS games have enemy nameplates now.

Re: Rift

I haven't played an MMORPG since WoW, which was about 5 years ago. I thought the genre would have advanced and wasn't expecting a blatant almost carbon copy of WoW.

Re: Rift

I too disliked the Rift graphics.

It may have just been because it reminded me of Lineage 2, which triggers my gag reflex because of how badly L2 screwed me.

Re: Rift

in my opinion even the GuildWars graphics are better, and thats a game from 2006.

Im not saying its a bad game because I only trained a charr to lvl 5. But my first thought was: what a bad graphics and what a wow rip-off.

But thats just me =)
