GameZone's Michael Lafferty writes,
"While Trion Worlds has a fantasy-based MMORPG in Rift, the quality of the world will certainly capture the imaginations of gamers. It is part of the next generation of MMOs delivered in full-on high definition with truly spectacular effects and graphics. The name change "came about as we spent time with the game," explained Scott Hartsman, CEO of Trion Redwood Shores. The protective ward that separates the land of Telara from the planes where all manner of evil dwells has been torn and rifts occur that allow all manner of creatures to come through in wave upon wave. And while some planes may have contrary names, like the Plane of Death and the Plane of Life, the goals are the same – to conquer Telara and kill the inhabitants there."
Players can progress through 30 levels of challenges by completing daily and weekly quests, thus earning Battle Pass experience points and rewards. The Battle Pass can be played for free and will reward players with various consumables and a set of artifacts that will literally make their pants burn – the “Pants on Fire” effect
gamigo is pleased to announce it has assembled a hefty collection of in-game events, quests and items for the “Budgie Carnival Celebration” in its fantasy MMORPG, RIFT.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the Hellbugs have reared their ugly heads once again to invade Rift. It’s up to players to fight these hellish creatures to save Telara – and in doing so – earn a number of unique rewards that will display their dominance over the Hellbugs.
Sounds intruiging.
cool
so many pubs and developers promise a new experience and it all seems a rehash. will take a wait-and-see approach with this.
Really need to force myself down the MMORPG route... although I fear I may loathe what I become.
I'll stick to Guild Wars 2 for my online multiplayer experience.
