So before I start I should say I have subbed for Rift for the first 6 months at launch own a collectors edition and have resubbed many times to fill my needs.
Now since hearing of the Rift F2P change, I decided to give it another go. One thing that always drew me back to Rift was the community. They are...were...great!! Unfortunately with this raptr promo. The community on Faeblight (RP) is tanking hard. Just the all over general vibe has been getting worse day by day. Its making me sad to see that happen. I'm not sure I will last much longer if the community on the best Rift server suffers too much.

Tera was like that with the normal community before f2p.that was the reason I left..they kept going about calling people paedo's ,rapists and swearing every 2 seconds..one of the worst in any mmo I have played that's for sure...but I suppose you get those abusive people in most games.
I logged into star trek the other day with a new char ..no sooner had I logged in I got ordered by someone to help them with the words I need help,do it now or fuck off...unbelievable.i don't know what he expected me to do with no lvling to my name lol.
Make a guild with the people you like....F* the rest
Funny how that is all I heard about Tera and its community, but i played it for a bit and it didnt seem any different than any other mmo chat Ive encountered. Maybe it was my server, i dunno. It was a grindy, themepark but chat was no different than most.
Faeblight community overall is ok, but there are a LOT of bad apples. It started with all the server closings and people migrating to faeblight because of its population, and then when Defiants and Guardians became friends the combined chat exploded with trollishness.
Chat channels on Faeblight can be much worse (it comes and goes too, not always bad) than my WoW server, but overall the people are pretty good.
TERA is targeted towards a significantly younger, less mature crowd and their community has always been like that.
I wonder what you play then
Also, P2P MMO communities are as bad as F2P.
Two examples WOW and EVE ONLINE (probably the worst)
i used to think WoW had the worse community then i played terra.
and EVE ? really my time in EVE i thought the community was fairly decent for a PvP heavy game.
F2P may be the way of the future, but ya know they dont make them like they used to
Proper Grammer & spelling are extra, corrections will be LOL at.

R.I.P. Rift... it was such great mmo, i remember launch day's where ALL servers was full with queue 9 hours
Still a great mmo. Happy for no queues....like diving in and playing.

R.I.P.? I guess you haven't checked lately.
After raptr reward all EU servers, except the 2 RP's, are high at peak hours. Icewatch is full with queues up to 300+ ppl.
NA shards are even better in population already.
All this only by the raptr reward. No f2p yet, no past subscribers returned, due to not getting the 30 days reward, like new users.
Imagine that free to play starts at 12-6, with so many newcomers and past subscribers (like me) getting in the game.
When LotRO went F2P, it suffered a lot of the same which really put me off F2P games. I quit and after a month of PS3 gaming I subbed back to WoW for a bit and it was the same, full of dicks.
Anyway, after quite a while away from LotRO playing various other games, I decided to check it out again and it was like how it used to be. There were no dicks in global chat and I decided to stick around again.
Let's hope all the morons that check RIFT out don't stay too long and move on as people who normally act this way tend to have short attention spans and will get bored soon enough /fingerscrossed
At least the summer is here and the outdoors is beckoning (unless you live in the UK where it always rains).
