Rift: Planes of Telara

http://www.riftgame.com/en/

Trion Worlds is proud to announce our fantasy MMORPG, Heroes of Telara™, has become the epic experience of Rift: Planes of Telara™. The land's inhabitants are under assault from countless planar rifts tearing into Telara — and the otherworldly creatures pouring through.
In a world under siege, you must choose your side in the struggle for dominance; embrace the souls of Telara's ancient champions to gain their unique abilities; and boldly seize magical forces to uncover the powerful secrets of the planes!


Looks cool so far.

I wonder what the combat is gonna be like.. you cannot tell with those SS <_<. HOpefully it is like those action games, unless this game has easy to bear with grind.

[elazulblack]

Looks pretty nifty to me.

Aion 2.0, just from watching videos.

Lol? Okay lets see... Decent graphics, check. Combat? Standing infront of mobs, bashing keys, no real time combat or pvp what so ever..yawn..

Rifts? Sounds like Aion to me, read the features. This game has fail all over it.

any game what so ever that is released from 08 to now should meet up to the new standards, people are becoming of this WoW Stand still shit, but click and twitch based gameplay. We have the technology, but shitty f2p companies and people with lousy PCs keep bringing the industry back.

once again, this is going to be a p2p... unless they realize they aren't going to garner enough subscribers.

and the name change sounds horrid. they can actually make a good series of Telara games, for the MMO, Planes of Telara, for a single player rpg, Heroes of Telara etc. Was hoping to see a franchise since the developer has tons of green notes from investors (been following the company since they started).

kind of disappointed, the name sucks big time.

[ItsWind]

its going to be a p2p...

Why post shit that's already been stated twice in the thread? On the same page even...smh.

@EIi Was gonna try to explain a few things, but nah, you've already made your opinion of the game, words probably won't change it.

Next topic please?

Why don't companies like this realize that 90% of Western MMORPGs wont make it as P2P and that with F2P they will get more then twice the profit and more then twice the community?

more games need to be developed as p2p based imo...

p2p and b2p games that i've played i've enjoyed them 3242342345 more than f2p games and heck i spend less $$ on the p2p and b2p games than i do on the f2p games!

game looks decent but not my cup of tea been switching over to fps games now </3

[MrTingTing]

even the cgi looks only "decent" when fully rendered....i really hope for them that the game has some outstanding features.

[txag2005]

No it should not be f2p, 99% of all f2p mmo's suck due to overpowered cash shop. it may be fun in the start but at some point you realize that you gotta spend alot of money if you want to thrive at it.

So its alot cheaper to play a p2p mmo, because if you want to keep up with the competition in a f2p mmo you gotta have deep pockets.

and yes the rift is some kind of a rip off from WAR and so what? public quests in WAR is amazing. and all mmo's steal stuff from other games, its not possible to make a game thats entirely original.

although the game looks awesome and i will preorder it for sure, it will prolly fail like all p2p mmo's does except for WOW. thats how it is to be an mmo junky you are constantly looking for the next fix but most of the time you end op dissapointed


Age Of Conan
Warhammer online
Aion
Fallen Earth
and the list goes on.......
they all failed for various reasons lets just hope that the developers of rift have learned from those mmo's mistakes and flaws

I'm so tired of hearing that comment. Forcing CS purchases to be the best in PvP is not an overpowered item shop. An overpowered or unfair item shop would be game mechanics that break the game along the way without CS purchases, like how the Allods cursed item deal may end up working.

As I've said in a number of threads, if you want to be the best of the best, play p2p games. If you want to find some really fun MMO's for a minimal investment and you don't care if you are the most "uber" player on the server, f2p is an excellent option.

Well this is only my opinion and this game deffinately has the quality to be p2p by the looks of it, i know the graphics isnt everything but it gets them along way,

there is so many reasons why p2p>f2p

not saying that i havent played f2p mmo's that i have enjoyed for along time, but most of them isnt even worth downloading, i mean FFS look at the the f2p mmo's that have been released the last 12 months how many of them still has a big player base?

you gotta make something special to stand out from the crowd and you just cant do that on a low budget crap game from korea.

making a game p2p is in someway a sign of quality, the developers of RIFT are so confident that their game will sucseed that its going p2p,

Blizzard is earning: $150 million a month from WOW

if a f2p mmo is awesome it wouldnt be f2p it would be p2p. Its all about the money
ofc there is some exceptions

[Groteske]

Eh who wants to bet on how many months it will take for this to fail after full release?

I give it 5 months.

I give it 5 months.

I say 1 year, because even ASDA europe needed 9 months

[MrTingTing]

hav eyou actually played aion? the grind is insane, and the quest gives next to none exp, you ge the same exp from a quest that you'll get from killing 6 mobs, that is just ******ed in my opinion.

and the pvp in the abyss is unballanced and boring.

i cant find a site with the current population numbers, but im pretty sure it has failed.

The grind isn't insane. The grind isnt even harder than what people do on WoW.
I won't deny the fact that there is grind but it's not as hard as some people make you believe. I got to lvl 40 before my sub ran out and i stopped playing because i'm too busy atm.
The pvp is neither unbalanced, nor boring. You're still at the point when Aion just came out dude...the classes are now fine as they are. The pvp is awesome, i'm all for massbattles and zergpvp.

[MrTingTing]

I guess you guys never played games like Lineage 2 or Ragnarok where you actually "grind" to level. If Aion is grindy you guys should just quit MMORPG or just play WoW

exactly

Why ? the developers should just add alot of quests with good rewards instead, thats what the majority of europe/us wants. people who like to grind can just play asian mmo's, or old games like lineage 2 or everquest


ncsoft said that they would modify aion to fit the western market, meaning more quests and stuff like that. But that was a lie which is one of the reasons aion failed.
