RIFT open beta tomorrow.

[marick626]

Hey guys,

I was part of closed beta on this game and have to say it was the best MMORPG gaming experience I have ever had. You can be part of the open beta, which starts tomorrow, by simply registering in their website.

If you do register, let me know and we shall meet in game.

While I'm not jumping in the beta my pals have convinced me to get into it on release.

Been beta testing since the launch of the first one, currently lvl 32 Mage named Lasher.

Have to agree after playing many MMorpgs this has to be one of the finest.

Playing PvE RP server. Argent shard. Defiant.

Got it pre ordered from playing experience during betas.

I just made a bunch of chars in the beginning so all I have are lower leveled characters. I don't see a point to dedicating the time to leveling one character if they will all be wiped after the beta.

Ahh well needed to see what the higher end instances were like and proffessions, toons can come later.

I always play Fire mages and so the need for countless toons was not necessary. Im more interested in, if im investing my game time, what the higher end game is like not the lower end.

At the 30 levels the game really picks up the pace and the proffessions become quite challenging. Instances need a little work which they should have resolved for full release. Few glitches etc.

Have no interest what so ever in pvp. Mainly PvE / questing for me atm. The Rifts work quite well and as fairly random do bring the community together albeit a little unorganised atm. If i want PvP ill fire up World of Tanks or Call of Duty etc...

Theres no endless grind which is a bonus to me, always a huge amount of quests to complete. Far too many young uns at lower levels so will have to probs join a more mature guild ( yes im old! ) for a decent conversation and chat whilst /ignoring the idiot channels

I been in this for a while, got a bunch of chars in there, Rastalovich the dwarfen mage is my most frequented and is about lvl25. Fluid's in there and Torquemada.

It is a fine game, not something I'm going to continue playing tho once beta's over. Although it looks and plays that much better than alot of the others out there, it's not the right challenge for me. However, just as with WAR etc, I'd definitely recommend them to people.

Didn't release it was an open beta for this week ? Hope their servers are up to it.

http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html Obviously not going to be final, but have fun.

Had a quick rip on it last night. They've done a fair bit of polishing to the graphics and effects. It's going to look real good when it's released.

This is the last beta period apparently.

 

[Filekutter]

Made a toon, but now have to run off and play taxi for neice. Does look purty good, the character creator was fun. The first look outside was scary... looked like Goldshire almost, which made me want to run away. So, I took my toon's clothes off so I can be irritating and have fun.

I'm d'loading the open beta now

I'll be interested to see how it compares to WoW.

 

[Filekutter]

I am having fun, and happily surprised, but I have to admit I think Age of Conan still prettier and has much better combat system. Considering the servers are in China I"m impressed with how the pings are. Must be some darn nice net code.

 

[Icekube]

Have to say I'm impressed, v.polished for a beta, really loving the versatility of the talent trees, nice idea nicked and further developed from guild wars of being able to mix classes, enjoying warlock/necromancer and champion/beast master mix atm looking forward to trying out rogues (my favourite class type) when I get home.

I'll prob just get the full game when it comes out and play it until guild wars 2 finally gets released.

 

[Ghosthud1]

played 3 betas? seems like Déjà vu to me, the experience of these so called new MMO's are shadowed by my experiences with wow. Holding on for GW2.

 

[Filekutter]

Well, the beta is closed, and I was there when they gave the 10 minute warning of shutdown. Ty so much for posting it, I actually had a blast. Also, this was the first game where I tried a rogue and warrior and actually stuck with the warrior. Usually I prefer roguey goodness, but this time the warrior was perfectly my style. All offense stuff, and Defiant, cos I just can't stand being around paladins hehe. Maybe in couple months I'll be able to afford to pick it up, we'll see. Iffen that happens I'll see where ppl are for servers and such to say hi.

 

[Icekube]

Well I've pre-ordered my copy from overclockers for £25.50

If there's any particular server any of you guys are going to play on let me no.
