Dana from Game North previews RIFT: Planes of Telara.
From the article:
"Upon inspection, RIFT: Planes of Telara seemed like just another MMORPG releasing in 2011. It slipped quietly under my radar because I had Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic in my crosshairs. I just don’t get excited about every single MMORPG release anymore because I had been burned one too many times before, so I definitely wasn’t going to pre-order another unknown game just to acquire beta access.
Somehow though, that’s precisely what I did."
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'm dropping WoW for this. My WoW account was already expired and I wasn't feeling like reactivating it again, but this game has effectively pulled me away.
Great preview, I might have to check this game out.
I want to play this!!
I have been watching this game for awhile. It looks like it could be really good.
honestly, to me, it IS just another mmo, it has nice graphics, nothing insane, but nice, I was in Beta4, it was no WoW killer that's for sure, maybe with another year or two of polish, honestly, they should have went with fully voiced quests, or something, nothing stood out to me.
Intro movie is pure shit, could not believe how low budget the production values were on it
