From the high fantasy feel of the Guardians' villages and towns, to the steam-punk machinery of their rival faction Defiants, there are few virtual worlds that I have been looking this much forward to exploring. The world might not be as big as in some other MMOs, and doesn't offer up that many different zones, but there's still a lot to see here. The graphics and the design are all top-notch, and while some might miss the more extraordinary armors or weapons from games like World of Warcraft, I love the more down to earth feel of Rift. It feels more real than Azeroth ever did, and the desperation of the people living here is much easier to relate to as a result."
Players can progress through 30 levels of challenges by completing daily and weekly quests, thus earning Battle Pass experience points and rewards. The Battle Pass can be played for free and will reward players with various consumables and a set of artifacts that will literally make their pants burn – the “Pants on Fire” effect
gamigo is pleased to announce it has assembled a hefty collection of in-game events, quests and items for the “Budgie Carnival Celebration” in its fantasy MMORPG, RIFT.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the Hellbugs have reared their ugly heads once again to invade Rift. It’s up to players to fight these hellish creatures to save Telara – and in doing so – earn a number of unique rewards that will display their dominance over the Hellbugs.
I played the Beta it's a decent game. Seems like a mix of WoW/Warhammer and Aion. Mainly Warhammer.
It's not something that would make me stick to it. So I won't be buying the game.
I'm gonna wait for Guild Wars 2, SWTOR and Diablo 3.
I love the game so far. I'm not a particularly social person so I usually solo 99% of the time in MMOs, but the huge and frequent rift and invasion events - with a big "join public group button" when you get close - and the quick and easy public group option for regular questing, are quickly changing my usual habits.
Exactly. Because playing a MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER online game means theres no reason to play with other people and it's just to solo. Oh wait a sec..didn't they call those RPGs? :P
