During the week, I was invited to a Rift Beta. If you don't know what Rift is, it is an MMORPG developed by Trion Worlds. If you've every played World of Warcraft or any other MMORPG, then you'll feel comfortable playing Rift. But this is not a cheap WoW rip-off. You first start off by either picking a side: The Guardians or the Defiant. I chose to go with the Defiant side, which is a group of people that don't rely on gods, but technology instead to save their world - Telara - from Remulos and his gang of dragons. Once you start playing the game, you start hard and fast with it's story line.
I first chose my character as a Rogue that specialized in Marksman (ranged weapons) Ranger (having pets) and a Saboteur (explosives). And each level, you get to add points to your Soul Tree, leveling up my Marksman, Ranger and Saboteur.
The game was pretty damn fun and highly enjoyable. And the best part; it's not WoW. The characters, models and textures are more diverse than World of Warcraft and the storyline along with it's game play is way more vast. The only problem I have with Rift is it's 15 dollar monthly fee. If there wasn't a fee, then I would buy Rift without a doubt.
Expect it in stores March 1 and preorder now for a head start.
