With the f2p change, has the population risen enough to be able to support eurogoons again?

I quit last year because all European time friendly raids(US raids start at 3am for me) were cancelled after finals week because "nobody ever shows up for them anyway" despite having full groups every week except during finals and that kind of killed off the population.

If the free month only applies to new accounts, should I just make an entirely new one or is there anything on my old account that is worth keeping beyond the Barnacle source engine?

Are there any actually useful items that can't be obtained by new characters? Or is it just the Barnacle source engine?

They said something along the lines of being able to purchase the barnacle encrusted source machine with credits, and possibly in the future adding others that could be purchased for currency and that it would be a ways off for that implement.
If that is literally the only thing I miss out on by making a new account and getting 30 days free I'll do that them instead of giving up my 30 days free time to get a character with +40 water resist that might be made available again later anyway.

For Raptr, you can idle on the "logged out due to inactivity" screen. Finals are over, I'll probably activate my code some time tomorrow.

Is there any definitive answer as to what determines whether the 30 days of game time are given? It appears to be "Rift+30 days"+"SL upgrade" so far.

If I make a new account, can I still buy the collectors edition goodies for €5 or have they scrapped that?

So final check before I activate my code, the 30 days of game time is only given out to accounts that do not yet have the base game, y/n?

I started playing again with the free weekend, is there any UI setting that could possibly reduce the eye strain I get from playing this game for more then 15 minutes at a time? I had that problem too when I last played but it's gotten a lot worse now.

Please please please. Raids in Rift are really fun but I don't like having to play at 3AM for them (when I'll most likely forget about them because of Tera)

There was a afternoon(US)/Euro group last year which went well but then finals week happened, one raid had to be cancelled and the next week there none planned. When inquired about, the answer was "None of you Euros show up to raids. Ever." with some more thinly veiled nationalism and personal insults thrown in.

What's stopping you guys from just forming the raid yourselves?
Because all Europeans quit after not so subtly being told to gently caress off and restarted on European server/quit altogether because their character is stuck on the American one Goonsquad's afternoon runs were the only reason they even had a character there.

^^^ The RotP thing happened when there were about 4 Europeans left.

How do I get the rest of the Centurion set? I apparently got half of it from subscription and now I got the same half in the mail for loyalty. I check my veteran's reward vendor and apparently I need another few months of veterancy. Does that mean I need to buy Patron or is it included in the 54k loyalty thing as well?

Are the artifact finding potions really making them not sell at all or something?
I've restarted on Zaviel EU and blue ones sell for <90g so between the daily gift and autumn harvest the market has crashed badly. Are there any other eurogoons who still play this either on the actual EU server or in the US goon guild?

Do the extra tradeskill slots actually do anything like WoW's BoP gems/enchants or are they just for the convenience of not sending everything to a crafting alt?

Also the factions are basically /r/atheism in country form that will not, EVER, pass up an opportunity to put ":smuggo:religious sheeple" in a quest text and a the other is fundamentalist cult of not-christianity with a "cleanse with fire first, pray for their souls later" stance on everything but themselves.

Pick Defiants because Meridian is a far more functional city than Sanctum and it's big, stupid cathedral with only one exit. For WoW comparisons, Meridian looks a lot like Stormwind with everything important being laid out in a semi circle from the entrance and more niche NPC's in neatly categorized wings further back and Sanctum is the Undercity with everything strewn around randomly except with 3/4 of the doors between the inner and outer ring closed off. I have a Guardian now and am considering a faction change just because their city pisses me off so much.

What was the point of the iron pine peaks leveling change? Before you did your faction starters, the scar~ zones and then you could choose between the northern three zones or the southern two. Now if you do moonshade it dumps you at a dead end at 40 and you either get to do something else until 45 or do underleveled content in droughtlands.

Did they break the game? All EU shard are unavailable to me(despite some of them having a queue) and my US chars have seemingly duplicated themselves, both sets of which are coin locked and not a single email to clear it is sent to me anywhere.

Is that part of the SL intro quest? If it is that might explain why it's level 50.

Taear posted:

Why? People don't attack you anyway.
My experience on the US shard is that PvP is minimal at high levels as everybody you met in SS and SM was just doing their own thing in IA but lower levels were miserable because of bored 50's running around and instagibbing random lowbies they met while doing mining/herbing with Moonshade being completely unplayable because of all the 50's that seemingly had a truce with eachother but 49 and below was fair game for both sides.

Like above, I would join an eurogoon guild on a PvE server.

Yeah, PvE is amazing. After playing on PvP servers in other MMOs (and when I started Rift for that matter) for years, coming to a PvE server and Rift was amazing.

And it reminded me of the intro quest to SL, since it was in the basement and everything, but that was another as far as I remember, with some cultist scribe / mage or something.
Then they probably let you into the Water Saga 20 levels early.

I am bored, and my dwarf's name is Sproin.

Is the Defiant storyline a little more evil than the guardians? I want to make a necromancer or a defiler or something evil and nasty but it's kinda hard when you're chilling with a bunch of angels.
The Guardians are plenty evil later but that's more the "kill everybody and just pray for the innocent ones" kind of evil. A couple zones in you find out that a friendly npc is aware of his town being full of werewolves but actively protects and hides them because if Sanctum gets involved, they would just burn down the entire city, including the non-werewolves.

I tried to use the ascend a friend thing, which just refreshed when my friend hit "create account". We then tried creating a glyph account, which automatically had the code applied to it on log in... but the entire account vanished when logged out again. Then we made another new account, which got through but found that 99% of the time any given Glyph page would come back as "We ran into a bit of a problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later." but we could manually enter the ascend code, only to find out that logging into the game itself there was supposed to be a confirmation code to be sent to his email address, which was empty save for my original recruit a friend mail.

Is the rest of SL questing content as dreadfully uninspired as Pelledane was? It feels like every 3rd quest was to kill 8 of the exact same armaturas/triarii/sagatarii that I've been fighting since the start of the zone.

What's this about the new expansion pack having 3 zones, 2 dungeons and no raid? A quick glance at the website shows 5 zones/unknown amount of dungeons/1 raid, or is that info outdated/wrong?
