Cheers dude, when you have 5 minutes could you link me that NB/RS build - looks immense.

Would that be good solo PVE too? I was going hunter/mm at the min

Any OCUK guild for rift?

Rift going Fully F2P on June 12th

http://eu.riftgame.com/en/promo/freetoplay.php

Looking at their matrix its probably the best one ive seen for an MMO going from Paid to F2P.

Im currently a Subscriber, i bought the latest Expansion, i will probably stay Subbed until i level my characters to 60 (another month or two) which will tie in nicely with this change. After that i will go fully F2p i guess, but the fact they give you the option to purchase 1, 3, 15 or 30 days access at a time is brilliant, also a lot of the bonuses for being paid are really just convenience options, faster exp, mount speed, more tokens from dungeons etc, its not too much pay to win if you ask me.

and also the addition of being able to buy an ingame currency with real cash you can then gift to someone who can use to buy game time is also a brilliant move.

Now if they keep up their schedule of delivering free content i would say they are set, definitely one of the best MMO providers ive come across with regards to innovation in their products.

Used to play Rift a while ago was a good game, but just didnt keep me interested, but then again thats a problem Ive had in the last few years, I bounce around MMO's just nothing STICKS me there like WoW used to :<

but will definately see how much you lose with the f2p on this

 

[Vuvuzela]

I knew it would come. Great news, love Rift and had a great time playing it with many ocuk folk.

Look forward to exploring Telara again.

 

[Spektor]

Haven't played since release, will be definitely interesting to see how this game came along since then.

 

[Semiskimmed]

Wow, ive got mixed feelings about this. Rift was great and the expansion was decent so im also interested how this goes when its F2P.
Will keep an eye on it

 

[Omaeka]

An MMO on the GameBryo engine? Sounds awful.

 

[nin9abadga]

It's not too bad, just got a bit dull for me. Also the good news is past subscribers have nothing removed from their accounts so I'll probably check it out again once it arrives.

 

[jamiehavok]

hmm i tthought rift was one of the more popular mmos, why does it need to go f2p!? barely any full sub games about anymore. there's wow, ffxi and erm....?

guess when everyones going free to play, ther's more money to be made in "micro" transactions

 

[Suarez7]

Rift was good but the subscription put me off.

 

[MatsyLR]

Awesome.
I bought RIFT when it came out and stopped when my sub ran out from the purchase.
Will play this again

 

[Sleepery]

Excellent! Half way through a 60 day game card on it at the mo, but it was just for a return visit, can't justify a monthly sub these days.

Great game, and it should be buzzing once it goes f2p.

 

[Vuvuzela]

just read that they will be selling raid and pvp gear once it goes f2p

 

[gummi32]

Sounds like a good excuse to make a return to this game, not played in a while and it was a great game then.

 

[Suarez7]

There's me out then, thought they'd implement some kind of feature to keep bringing in money but that's a pretty lame way of doing so.

but the best stuff will need to pve for though ,

Anyway, I'm happy and sad that this is happening. I've been wanting to play an MMO for a while and was waiting for ESO but I can now play this for free. However the money I spent on the base game, storm legion, upgrades and subscription has been for nothing.

 

[AndyCr15]

How has it been for nothing? Did you buy them and just leave them sat on the shelf? Seems an odd thing to do...

I'll be pleased if/when this goes F2P, definitely I'll install it again. I don't mind them selling things in game for real money, I wish other games did this more. I'm a bit lazy at times and would prefer to drop a few quid to improve my gaming experience.

Source? All I can find on this is a few quotes from the recent Reddit post:

We don't plan on putting any dungeons, raids, or content behind paywalls. We want more people playing together, not a few folks playing in a walled garden.

&

The best gear in the game won't have a price tag on it. Raid mark gear is typically the best in the game - we don't have any level 60 raid mark gear on the store for credits. A variety of the dungeon gear is available. We are not currently planning on selling any of the top end raid crafting components either.
