Anyone here played Rift yet?

I know it's got nothing to do with WoW, just figured people playing WoW would be the MMORPG kind of people to ask this question...

It looks pretty awesome, haven't given it a go myself yet, was looking for some info if any of you are playing it ofc :o
 
Played a trial but its over too fast. I really liked it and the graphics is awesome its just SOOOO much to learn all over again. But if I had the money at that stage I would have brought it I think..but I didnt so yeh WoW it is :P

Any idea what the subs are like? Same as with WoW as in R 290 for 60 days or something like that? Also I see BTgames have the game, do they sell game cards for it?
 
I played the game untill i reached level 20... But got bored, Graphics is nice and all, but a few things i don't like in the game, don't like the gear at all ;/ I think i am playing wow for too long now, so to get hooked on a new game is realy hard :)

And the subs are basicly the same than wow, I added the 7day trial to my account, updated it, and went ingame for about 10minutes and got bored and went back to wow again, but everyone got difrent taste.

I think if i did not know wow and have not been playing it for so long.. i would have sticked with RIFT for a loooong time.

Thinking of giving it a bash since my brother in-law is playing it. They game retails here for R 415. does that include 1 month free subs? Is the client free like with WoW so he can just send me the client and I buy gametime?

Sorry for all the questions. I looked at some videos and it looks pretty nice. Want to give it a go but don't want to chuck a few hundred rands on it and it sucks...
 
You get 30days free game time with the original game you buy :) after that you can just buy game time and add it on your account.
 
why not just pay R100 a month straight from blizzard themselves? ofc you need a creditcard, but its still cheaper than R145 o.O

he is talking about RIFT not wow, i doubt you can buy gametime for rift at blizzard :P
 
played rift for awhile and got to lvl 42 cleric, telent trees are pretty awesome and can be confusing.
they are not keen on wow players joining them and the server i was on was full of mutes (made things really boring).
One nice thing was the portal travel ... no 10 min flight times. and world events groups are automatically formed.
did not do any raids but they seem very simple.
so in the end i am back with wow

explain the mutes part please. people muting ex-wow players?
no fp travel sounds awesome, but those 10minutes u can go make coffee/fetch beer/smoke/shower etc. so its a tradeoff imo.
and the world events story? if you near an event, u automatically get lumped into a group?
 
Ye I have rift I haven't renewed for a while, gfx are great game play is good, I enjoyed the talent tree part of it. However I have gone back to wow for now still prefer it, in regards to the way you get auto grouped is cool except when the rift opens up and you are lvl 7 and the mobs coming from the rifts are lvl 20 that part sucks a little :P.
I believe what he meant by mutes as in people don't really talk a lot in chat.
 
I tried it for about 3 weeks, but gave up. I was pretty impressed, and I think I would have continued playing but felt that as I was waiting for another "ultimate" MMO to come out end of the year or early next year, I would just wait until that. So overall, I was impressed, but there was nothing really new or amazing that kept me with Rift. It was really annoying that the more I played it, the more I felt I was wasting my "investment" time... not sure if you know what I mean.
 
I played the game for the one month I got free with the game. Graphics are really good, I liked the class system and the rift events were interesting. However the questing became stale very fast, you didn't feel like you were part of a story. Just running around killing random mobs.

If you want to try it out though, I'd suggest buying it through Steam or direct from Trine as it is quite a bit cheaper than any SA shop that I've seen.
