That's good news to me, if it's not "f2p" like swtor is (and can't expect f2p mmorpgs' cash shops to be purely cosmetic like b2p games)
Only concern is if it'll be locked out against SEA region

Yes but cash shops allow rich people to spend as much as they want. And p2p is easier to market to new players than b2p because you can have freemium/trial content and don't have to greenlight on Steam or make a deal with retail stores (who probably won't buy from you unless you are Blizzard).
It does look good, might try it out.^^
I'll probably start playing this more again since patch 2.1 in SWTOR screwed the pooch to put it mildly.
The Only thing i Dislike in Rift is the User Interface( looks like a SCI FI ui ) , they should change that at F2P launch ;S
you could probably find a mod to change UI if it's really that huge of a deal.
All of this is true, yet the a-hole behind Camelot Unchained thinks F2P will fail in a couple years, and things will go back to the way they were with P2P games. It's almost like he thinks his P2P game will be the god of all P2Ps to 'revive' the P2P genre. People like him are counter-productive, and counter-moving forward.
When does it go f2p?
Possibly the first time I've ever actually enjoyed playing a 'mage' class... Ever...

Harbinger is such win!
Pyromancer does okay with harbringer, but it's more single target based. It's more potent to go with something that has a strong AoE nuke that doesn't need a serious amount of points to achieve and is on a rather low cooldown. I prefer stormcaller as it has a six target AoE nuke, a knockback disengage (for PvP useage), and single target ice attack.
Got the pants to match... Very happy with my look!

Past recording from earlier detailing some of the patron perks and such.
Out of all the mmo's I have played Rift gives the second most satisfaction from theorycrafting (first is PoE, I don't think that will change). Hardcore theorycrafters will love this game. Theorycrafting doesn't end with soul trees and planar attuments, you can even min/max your macros. Also, you can min/max your UI like in WoW and Warhammer due to the ui addons available.
I'm disappointed that ever since Open Beta (when I last played) they have reduced the difficulty of dungeons by a considerable amount. Bosses that would have taken 20 mins to kill now take like 5 mins.
EB Games is GameStop bro... :D

What happens to old owners of the game? Do they get those free stuff too? If so, i'll just need to remember my old account details.
EVERYONE on the rift forums are losing their shiz about the F2P translation! I mean, if i had a sudden lapse of logic or was a complete idiot and purchased a one year subscription, i'de be pretty unhappy too, but seriously.
And they even agree the game is dying and that it needs something to revitalise it! but "Free to play is not the way to do it!" they say =,=
i got a question if i buy Storm legion right now i will get 6 character slot and 5 bag slot when it goin f2p ?
does people are obligated to buy storm legion when it turn f2p ? i dont understand why make the game f2p when you need to buy the expension ?
Storm Legion is just the expansion, which unlocks 4 additional souls to use.
... what about the new map new location new quest i can do all that ? but i wont have the 4 new souls that it ?
Incorrect.
f2p players will have:
- fewer specs unlocked (probably 2. Speculation. More can be bought)
- 2 Character Slots unlocked (more can be bought)
- Fewer bag slots (only 2. Confirmed. More can be bought)
Current owners (full game, not trial. No expansion required) will have all bag slots unlocked as they have right now. They will probably keep all the spec slots they have unlocked through ingame currency, either that or they will have all specs unlocked. They also get all the character slots.
Macros are really nice to have, especially on my rogue.
Let's me use my "next skill does___" skills easily
Sucks that old players who want to use the Raptr key to return to the game don't have that option... all we get is another copy of Storm Legion (which I already bought?)
This game is overwhelming from the get-go.
I got to the place where I am given fishing training quests and from that point on I have completely de-railed and gotten lvl 13 when which is probably 5 levels above where I am currently with my quests. It's just one rift after another, then invasions then adventures I get sucked into. It's just a chain reaction of events you can't get out of and the only thought I have in my mind is "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"
If anyone needs a good server, Faeblight is right up your alley.
Need lvl 30 for that 90% Favor mount -_-
