***Official Rift Planes of Telara Thread***

After playing this for 30 mins my first impressions is this is going to be a very good MMORPG and time will tell if my WOW sub will be cancelled or keep both games active.
 
Got a text from a mate this evening saying he had this, drove round to his place to take a look. Can't remember what server he was on, something-fall. I have to admit that it was pretty decent, polished, I liked the souls thing and the kind of hybrid classes aspect. Can see other mmos taking that on board during development. Graphics were nice, plenty going on and some nice viewing distances. Liked the rifting and invasions thing , quite liked the pq system in warhammer so good to see similar in this.

Overall I came away with a much better impression than I thought I might. It doesn't fit what I would ideally like in a mmo (more daoc like pvp) but I could envisage it being fun all the same. I read that trion has investment of 100 million dollars to make 3 mmos, this being the first and the next being a kind of rts mmo, also read that trion has some devs who worked on wow, lotro and ddo , so decent mmo experience there. Makes it seem that its not going to be a fly by night mmo , so potentially has a promising future in terms of growth. As I say , came away with a much better impression of the game than I expected. Does cause a slither of temptation to purchase in my mind now.
 
Tombstone, I'll see where I am in terms of feelings towards the game in a few days but if I do decide I don't really wanna play it you can try it out on my account.
 
Played for about an hour last night, so far very impressed. Love the in game tweeting and tweeting screenies direct from the game. Not really that important in the grand scheme of things but still cool.

Will jump in again tonight and see how things go.

I owe my friend some money so will grind that first.

You can either try out my level 50 or start your own char ( obviously you can't have the account just for trying out ) might as well while I have game time on it. Give me a few days mate.

No probs, I always play as a healer so would make a cleric, would only play it for a few levels or so to see how it feels to me.

If you want a challenge go chloro, your dps heals much more challening/exciting to play than a cleric.

Also the begginers section is so fast past and linear its really quite different to how the game plays at high levels :)

I rarely dps on my mmo healers, ever since my first midgard healer in daoc almost a decade ago I've found healing exciting. Even my albion cleric healed rather than smited :) I am one of those rarest of players , an mmo healer who actually really enjoys being someones healbot :D (although to be honest in daoc I often tended to run about firing off aoe mezz, aoe stun, st mezz , st stun and pbaoe mezz/stun even more than I healed , ah those were the days :) )

The first several levels would be enough to indicate to me whether I would want to buy, besides I wouldn't want to tie up a lent account for any longer than absolutely necessary.

I wasn't that impressed with the first few levels, just so you know :p

It just keeps getting better though. Gloamwood is a fantastic zone. Went mountain climbing there yesterday, nearly wet myself when I fell into shadefell keep from above, found a plaque that transported me to a sealed tower with a puzzle in it. When I solved the puzzle, I got an epic warhammer with double the dps of my current one.

I like when a game rewards exploration. And slipping.
 
finally think im a bit burnt out :p got one 50, and one 30, i cant take levelling anymore the quests are so brutally boring, worse than TBC quests, but i have enjoyed doing dungeons with my guild and pvp, just dont think im gonna sub past the free month.
