Rift: Planes of Telera Beta

25th eh? Awesome - that's my birthday :D

EDIT: On a side note. What's the exact story with the pre-order? If I do the digital one I get the companion pet, in game rune, discounted subscription fees, 30 days free game time and early access, but if I get the physical one from the four letter high street retailer I sacrifice these for the mouse mat, soundtrack, comic book and 8 gb pen drive?

Game looks like a lot of fun. Will wait for demo or review scores but looks very promising.

Noticed its made by "Trion Worlds" who i havent heard of before. Can anyone fill me in on their previous games or any company history?

Trion is a new company that was setup using investment capital (reportedly over $400 million) to make 3 games, RiFT is the first. The dev team comprises of members from EQ/EQ2/WOW/WAR and many many more. The chief creative officer and manager for Trion is Scott Hartsman who worked on EQ/EQ2 among other things.
 
Hello there :)

I must say i am getting a good feeling about this one ;), it looks great only thing that worries me is building the character :(

I am getting confused building one, there are so many different options, i been having a play around on here http://rift-planner.com/# but makes me brain cry :D

Think i am gonna pre order, try out the beta events and give it a month and see how its looking ;)
 
Won't work for me, says I don't have auth to play the game.
Totally have beta access on my account page though ;p

Edit: It seems, even if you get an email saying you're invited, given a link to "download the game" which you can't unless properly in, it doesn't mean you have access to the game.
Ah well, hopefully some time between now and release I can try it.

Considering this is Trion Worlds first MMO, I think they are doing everything right. They only started hyping when they had a game to show *cough SWTOR cough* and they appear to be listening to the community and producing a bug free game. So I'm buying it even if I don't like it, so other companies will finally realise what us MMO'ers want.

Also is it me or is it ridiculously hard to find a guild that isn't just about raiding that accepts under 18's?
 
Chilled out guilds seem to be getting few and far between now adays, bit of group exploration/killing/deing and some entertaining instances is all I want not some time police with the next 2 years of raids planned out.

The games official forums (beta included) do seem pretty winge free which is a good sign.

You get an invite a few days before the beta then have to sign the EULA on the accounts page. Once you have a beta client installed it simply patches from the previous beta.

...oh and once you accept the EULA it take a few minutes to filter through the authentication server for the game client.
 
As said above you wont be able to download the client until you accept the EULA which you'll get notification of in a mail, after that a button will show up in your account next to the invitation key.
 
Yeh I still haven't gotten into the beta with my preorder so hopefully it comes before a day or two before the next one.

Does anyone want to make an OCUK guild on beta? :)
 
Curse now have beta keys also, I assume these will be vip key's too just like ZAM - Now confirmed as VIP keys!

Incidentally ZAM have another batch of keys after the first 5000 went in less than 4 hours.

Accepted it days ago :(
 
So I've gotten a key from curse, and added it to a trion account, I now need to wait for an email with the download link I take it?
