Rift
Anyone playing this? I started a few days ago and have to say that the F2P model they offer is very good indeed. The biggest limitation to the free players are the bag slots. You start with 3 out of the 7 and have to pay to unlock them either with real money or in game gold.I ordered the game box to avoid paying out the ass for the bag slots and to get a free mount. You can still find it on Amazon and around the web for around $15 dollars which is a much better deal than buying the credits from the store to unlock them. Other than that the game is pretty much open to the free players.
If anyone is interested give me a pm or respond here.
I've thought about trying it. GW2's combat has spoiled me. I really like the dodges/evades and the ability to cast on the move. Is Rift's combat the same? Also, how is the PvP?
The combat is similar to WoW or other traditional mmo's. You can cast most abilities while moving but some have cast times that require you to stand still. It's been a long time since I've played and I can't speak for the current state of PvP but I enjoyed the PvP modes and maps that Rift offered, even though there were major balance issues among the classes. It seemed like every month brought a patch that made some new class combo the OP flavor of the month. Dunno though, the game's been out so long now you'd think they'd have achieved some class balance by now despite the enormous number of class combos in the game.
