I’m going to share a thought that may sound like a conspiracy theory but so be it. I think that EA-Bioware is intentionally making the early access process slower than it needs to be. Full disclaimer: No, I’m not in the game yet, but yes, I fully understand and, as a matter of fact, endorse …

RIFT blew its first shot, will it blow its second?
I made a silly mistake today and renewed RIFT. I’ve been playing it a lot lately and having fun leveling my rogue through PvP. (Admit it Assassins, we’re overpowered). When I got the email reminding me that until I paid up my characters would be sold into slavery, I didn’t even consider that TOR comes …
More Like Chronicles of AWESOME
I just hopped into RIFT for the first time since downloading the patch last night. Grabbing my Veteran’s Rewards from my inbox, I noticed a handy little note reminding me to do the Chronicle of Planar Attunement (or some such). If you’re new to the game, Chronicles are essentially story-based, solo/duo instances similar to skirmishes …
The Multiverse – Season 02 Episode 04 – “Angels with Chainsaws”
Welcome back to another edition of The Multiverse! We start this episode off with a little Warhammer Online, move into angels with chainsaws and LotRO’s fourth anniversary, and Chris gets some guild advice from the man who wrote the book. This was kind of a crazy show. Especially when we answer Massively’s question. We’re also …
RIFT in 3D [nVidia 3D Vision]
Wow! Am I glad to be back. It’s weird not blogging for a big stretch of time after you’ve been at it for a few years. But, here I am and it’s good to be home. Now for the big news. I didn’t want to say anything until it arrived, but I was lucky enough …
Questing in RIFT: Not As Bad As You’ve Heard
RIFT’s questing sucks. I’ve heard this said over and over again. Every time it’s by someone who has played MMOs for the last 3+ years and has completed no less than 50,000 of them. Let’s please keep our objectivity here, because, I’ve got to tell you, RIFT is no worse than any other game out …
Only in RIFT
This post is also featured on Rift Watchers. Since it will fit in both places, and there’s not necessarily a ton of overlap in readers, I think it’s worth sharing both places. I may keep doing this so neither place gets neglected. My journey in RIFT has been going excellently. I don’t think I’ve felt …
Why Rift is the First Real “Answer” to World of Warcraft
This post is also featured on our Rift fansite and blog, Rift Watchers. Temporarily cross-posting to build awareness 🙂 Little Caveat: I’m not saying that Rift is perfect or “the answer” to what everyone wants in an MMO. Or that it’s necessarily better than any of the games listed below. I’m a lifetimer to LotRO …
When Cutscenes Go Too Far
I hit level 85 last week and now find myself at the tail end of Uldum, frantically scraping for that last gear point to start heroics. Now, Uldum is a pretty cool zone. It has a neat setting with new character models, fun quests, and memorable characters (Harrison Jones, anyone?). It also features an absolute …
Rift NDA Dropped – Here Are The Goods
As you know, I’ve been taking part in the Rift beta events. The long and short of it is this: Rift is a good game, not immediatelyground breaking, but a fun MMO that will be instantly familiar to anyone who’s played anything post-Everquest. In my opinion, this is the first PvE game that’s actually viable …
