I wish I'd checked the OP and seen the Raptr thing before today, as I just ordered a copy of Rift off Amazon :doh:

Oh well, it was only $7, and I should still get the expansion for free as well if I participate in the Raptr rewards thing, right?

And raptr has now run out of keys!

It was especially nerve-wracking fun as the page would often vary between showing "3000 keys left" and showing the correct number as it dwindled steadily downward. :sigh:

I just checked the page and it's still showing at 0, so I'm just hoping that they're in the process of getting the keys set up on Raptr's end. :ohdear:

E: Re-read it and I think I misunderstood the first sentence at first glance. I took "keys have been restocked" to mean "we sent Raptr some more keys today", when what it most likely means is "keys have been restocked in the past and we will be restocking them again before long". So basically just keep checking to see when they pop back up.

Been playing the game for a week or so now, and since everyone was talking about mounts, I figured I'd chime in. One of the things I like about this game is that as long as you have enough cash, you can run right to the mounts vendor and get yourself one, even at a low level. None of this waiting until level 20 stuff. Even if you have alt-itis something fierce, as long as you have at least one main that is bringing in good cash via the auction house, you can make sure all your guys have some form of transport besides their own two feet. :v:

A lot of people have described this game as pretty much a nicer-looking version of WoW, and for the most part I find it to be exactly that, which might sound like a bit of a backhanded compliment but is really meant in the best possible light. A prettier version of WoW, with some of the more annoying features of WoW either tweaked or eliminated, and some of the better aspects of other games (such as the dyes and cosmetic wardrobe stuff in LotRO) incorporated. Hopefully the move to F2P will get it a bigger share of the MMO audience, because it's really a pretty darn good game. :)

Do I get expansion content with f2p?

You get the zones from Storm Legion, but not the extra "souls" used for skill builds that came with SL (those are gonna be in the cash shop I believe).

E: Regarding help with the Raptr app, basically just register at their site, download and install the app, add the game manually to it (it will scan for games, but it's wonky about actually tracking time in Rift unless you manually add it, I've found), and then you just need to rack up 12 hours to get the code for the free game and whatnot. Some people just sit at the login screen, but I actually played to get mine :colbert:

I think there's some 1 credit items in the dimensions tab if you want to spend those last 2 credits.

I can confirm this, so if anyone's down to a few credits and can't find anything in the other tabs they can afford, go to the Dimensions items tab and there should be a bunch of 1 credit items you can get to make sure they're all spent before the 11th. :)

Just started playing as Benoit the cleric. Is it still possible for me to do that Raptr thing to get the game+expansion+30 days? And what is the advantage of it with the game going F2Play tomorrow?

I dunno if it's still possible, but the advantages are 6 character slots, 5 bag slots, and the Storm Legion expansion "souls" vs. 3 character slots, 2 bag slots, and having to buy the SL souls on the cash shop. If it's still available and you have time to knock it out, I say go for it. :)

So I log into the game when the patcher hits the "Playable" stage...and all the buildings in Sanctum are gone. All that I can see is land, sea, a bunch of other characters, and a mailbox. Which doesn't work.

No worries, they are doing a pretty big changeover and patch today after all, so it's just teething problems. I'll just let it finish patching. After it's done, I log back in, and everything looks good, all the buildings are back. So I figure now, I'll just check out the cash shop...where I discover I have 0 credits (I had checked earlier in the day on the webpage and saw I'd had around 6,680 or so).

OK, I'd seen the message about what to do if your credits are missing, no problem, I'll just contact customer service...and the game crashes out on me.

So then, I decide to go to Rift's website and verify just how many credits I had and maybe open a CS ticket through there...and the login webpage is unavailable due to "scheduled maintenance".

...yeah, I think I might just wait a little while before I try logging in again. :v:
