I dunno what it is but Rift screen shots always look terrible to me.

It's like a totally different game from the vids.

FUUUUUUUUUU missed the chance for vip in that thread

[Grey Jorildyn]

Meh totally want a VIP key. the way they did this beta key stuff is just odd and incredibly frustrating for many. It is forcing us to want to learn more about the game though. great marketing idea, but really not the best PR. Not that I'm upset about it, I actually find it kinda interesting. very interesting in fact...

that said, any extra VIP keys floating around??

BTW: My gaming community will likely be recruiting for this game sooner or later. If people are interested in playing with those of us that have VIP keys (taking a tally now), and want a TS and forums to coordinate on, please let me know in PM and we can exchange some info!

I'm holding out hope for one of my regular beta keys to get me in at some stage of the beta.

I'm also interested in joining a gaming community, Grey. I've been scouring the guild threads on the Rift board for a while but would much rather play with people from XI.

Damn all the good things happen when I sleep :{

This game is released simultaneously in EU and US, right?

Hmm, I think so. Never saw any mention of differentiating between EU and US.

[Hyan]

Yeah, I just hope they don't outsource it.

Awesome. Reg on my forums at http://forum.5thedition.net and I'll give you access as a rift member and you can meet the gang. Almost exclusively ffxi players but we have quite a mix and so far six others showing interest in the game. Think I'd like to see ten before opening recruitment for the game so if ya know anyone interested let us know.

The community seems to be leaning toward PvE servers so we can choose when to PvP. Hope that's alright with you

And this pops up today...

Has ubisoft ever done anything as far as MMO's are concerned?

This sounds like Codemasters publishing RF online long time ago. Fuck.

Although it's still probably better than Frogster for TERA... maybe :/

Installing client now!

Installing client now!

The patcher is actually quite solid, d/ling at roughly 1mb/s. Does BG have a policy on releasing beta information on the forums, knowing full well the purpose of the nda?

edit: figures right when i post this i get error #1003.

[bori]

Try disabling firewall/antivirus. SO far so good for me.

[Insanecyclone]

Just got my invite. Hopefully I can get a VIP key eventually because I know I'm going to enjoy this.

[bori]

[SamanosukeShiva]
