Exactly. I think a lot of people frothing for the game have either played for maybe 1 beta (the game looks great for a few days- it's shiny new, pretty, and it works) or only want a 'holding' game to last them for a month or two (which is valid).
It's pretty much why I think Rift will do VERY well with box sales for the first 3 months. If Trion havent got some fluff/ content to throw in it by them it will definitely struggle and we will start to see a backlash here and other places imo.
Linkage to announcement game has gone gold?
This version = closed beta version. There are still things being added and more changes afoot (racials for example).
you still think this is a closed beta? o.0
Always nice to see people who don't even care about the game get into beta, they need to do some kind of survey before they let people in!
The more people they let in, the less people can talk smack about the game if it's good.
I have been biting my tounge reading articles on here earlier on in the first 3 betas because I wasn't in the beta, but now I can honestly say that this game rocks and is the basically the MMO offspring of several of my favorite MMO's to date.
Another thing that makes me happy is seeing everything first hand and being able to analize it myself. I now know for sure that I will be upgrading my rig around March 15th to prepare for this great game. So yes...there are people that don't give a flying fruit about this game that got a beta invite and seem to just be bottom dwellers and knuckle heads with nothing better to do in life then try out a game they know they are already burned out on just so they can spout nonsense. But for every one of them there are 20 of us that want in the game and see what it offers and are cool with it.
me i played the game for about 2-3 hours and to much similarities to wow i do mean alot from wow is in rift so i removed it from pc bc i know where this game is going to
Oh, I see. Let's be fair then, they shouldn't allow people into the game who are in love with it as well. During a beta test many problems will arise that need to be reported by the testers to help stabilize the game. How can the developers expect someone to identify a problem if the testers are so love drunk over it the product, that they can't find anything wrong?
That right there has caused more failed launches in the past, outside of just bad programming on the devs part.
Just because someone doesn't praise a game like it's Jesus Online doesn't mean they don't deserve to test it, with scrutiny, as they should be doing.
If I invested in a car and everyone told me it was perfect, I'd be a little pissed if it rolled off the lot and exploded. When it comes to beta testing, do the job objectively or GTFO.

Wow so much anger!!
I'd say to's a fair reason to be angry. I would rather have objective people beta testing over fanatics that would turn a blind eye to problems instead of report it.
It's the reason console games are beta tested by programmers, and professional testers, not fans that don't even know what to look or or how to test. Just playing the beta is not testing beyond stress test. Trying to find exploits, break the game, then report the problem and how to duplicate it, are what testers are suppos to do.
Gawking at the nice scenery does nothing if toxic waste is a foot below your feet. Of course these fanatics are probably the same fools that don't get a house inspected when they buy it, then cry when they find out there's toxic mold behind the drywall.
Seems so. My doomsaying proved correct, Rift is not sustaining, or at least won't be for much longer.

thread necro!!!
"Sometimes people say stuff they don''t mean, but more often then that they don''t say things they do mean"
Not sure what reports you've been reading. They seem to be doing ok, or even slightly above expected. This necro is silly on many levels as I'm sure you realize.
Hehe, I just was thinking about it randomly as I browsed the site.
I am sure rift is still doing O.K., but I just thought it was fun to bring back a thread that spoke of RIFT before it released and to read what people had to say about it then.
Just get tired of all the over-hyping from MMO-hungry gamers thinking that (said game) will be the next big thing, when in all reality when you look at what the game is offering, it doesn't really seem like it will sustain like people hope it will.
Here's to TOR...I need to get in a thread that is over-hyping it, make a bookmark of it, then "ressurect it" 2 months after TOR comes out.
Hehe :P
