Get RIFT for $9.99 this weekend

@C Rose

I think you're mistaken. the "client" is a Key for your own account which you CANNOT get by simply "downloading the client." Assuming the game is normally what? 40 bucks now? that's $26 for the "client" AKA your new key and 14$ for your free month. Am i wrong here?

@TtD Scoop
Bah! ignore that. I re-read what you typed and we're both seeing it the same just at different angles.My B.

@C Rose

I agree this is misleading. Marketing word games. I think Steam had Rift on sale for this price during one of their sales recently. It would be a great deal, and I may have taken them up on it, if it came with the 30 days other games come with.

Not sure what the point of saying it's $10 other than trying to trick people who don't read the fine print.

@yeppers

Yeah don't get me wrong I'm ALL FOR Rift getting new players in and giving WoW some more competition. I just think it's a bit misleading the way the promo is marketed is all.

Let me add too, that I love WoW and it's the best MMO ever. Anyone who disagrees I'm afraid you're lying to yourselves. HOWEVER, Blizzard is arrogant and complacent and now the game is suffering for it. I cancelled my account and I'm looking for something fresh and new. Unfortunately that means waiting for GW2 I believe.

I honestly wish Trion the very best and I love the fact that they are forcing some well needed competition into the marketplace. With TOR and GW2 and even TERA coming out, I think finally WoW's subs will begin to significantly drop and they'll have to start to think about innovating and giving their loyal customers more for their $15 a month.

If you ask me $15 x 11mil subs = a hell of a lot of money EVERY month. And that revenue doesn't seem to be going back into the product in a meaningful way. They seem happy to rest on their laurels and rake in the profits while dishing out lazy half-assed content when in reality they should and can afford to give us monthly content that is fun and invigorating. But no. And don't forget after the initial launch it get's easier and easier to release content as the framework is already laid out for the devs.

Bottomline, please try Rift and if you like it support Trion so that large IP's like WoW can't sit idly by and benefit from a lack of competition.

When companies compete, the consumers win! Cliche but true.

You might want to try customer service? Maybe they can give you a partial refund.

If you bought it on Steam, good luck. The same thing happened to me and Steam never got back to me... Heck it was not even 8 hours since I purchased it and they had their first ever sale. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't really care about the money, but an email saying they can't help me would at least have been nice.

I stopped buying things off Steam. Not sure how long that will last, but bad customer service pisses me off.

@Faith
They were selling the collector's edition + game time for $35 digital download from their site last week. So this is $10 off an already discounted price.

Once you leave the free trial zone, though, you get the distinct feeling that, however much you might have paid, it was too much.

@Faith

I was thinking the same thing.

I thought I'd give myself a nice little Father's Day gift. At $14.99, I figured the Digital Collector's Edition was at least worth a shot. However, at $31.99 I'll pass, thanks. For my tastes, the earlier levels were WAAAAAYYYY too linear, when I last tried the game in beta.

Talk about a game on rails, this is it! I felt like I was in a one isle department store with no where to go and looking at the items on the shelves got old quickly!

@Kaahn Stewart

Stop making Puremalice seem right.

@real65rcncom

lol that's good.

@real65rcncom its a fathersday sale so its a a 50/50. It is also important to note the 9.99 price is for upgradeing the remaining time on a trial.
