This was fun to make ! Im excited for our next video 😁🙌

I played the heck out of this in 2011, and check it out from time to time. I agree with many of the thoughts expressed here; far too many things locked behind the paywall, graphics haven't changed. Also agree with your score assessments.

Our 2nd video! 🎉 😅 Thank you for watching, we're hoping to keep going with this and continue to get better with each video! :)

Rift is one of those games that I periodically go back to, but it's very much because I have those memories and the nostalgia from having been there at the start. It had a lot that was great at the time and that still holds up today, but it's been functionally in maintenance mode for years after a downhill slide, which is really a shame. I'd personally score it a tad higher... but not if you're a day-1 new player now. There's just too much that's either gone downhill or stagnated to recommend somebody start it as a new MMO at this point. And don't give Gamigo (the current publisher) any money, for sure.

Exited for your next video. I've also felt like going back to old MMOS recently. They can feel so nostalgic even if you never played them on release.

I just started to play Rift :) I'm lvl 20 now. I really like that old school vibe, craft system and the fact that there's no a lot of ppl in the game. I guess I'll play here for a while. I was looking for a guide and found your video, thank you :) Now I should learn how to dye my gear :)

I'm a veteran of RIFT, I used to play it every single day, but the greedy devs killed the game with broken updates, toxic feedbacks and pay to win store ingame. I used to love RIFT, and even now, talking about it makes me sad, but nevertheless, RIFT is for me a 10/10

I miss this game. I played from beta until the RP community left the game

[dhsmilky]

I wish is was easier to find people to help get back into the game. I have a ton of unlocks that i feel are wasted if not used. Would love to learn more about. but my level 65 Warlord is now more confusing then ever to figure out how to play. Thank you for posting a video with updated info and comments, is it possible to gift things from one server to another?

I really liked this game back in the day.. 😮‍💨
I liked the lore, I REALLY went into it back in the day, collecting and reading every ingame document that I could.

[Perisemiotics]

a fantastic game in its prime. Things like the soul trees, buildcrafting and the lore are the best I've seen in any MMO. The problem with RIFT was the awfully managed studio that created it and, now, the unscrupulous "thing" that owns and runs it, which I most certainly shall not name.
The fact the game still has a player base worth keeping it up, 6 years after it was officially put in a coma, tells you what a truly great game it is, or was.

I was a beta tester and founder. Thank you for the quick run down on the current basics. Will see if I can get a few hours of fun out of this old software again.

LIKE WOW RIFT NEED TO CHANGE THEIR GRAPIC ENGINE, WHAT TURN ME OFF IN RIFT WAS THEIR BATTLE GROUNDS THAT IS WHY I WENT BACK TO WOW

[feelingthislife]

Played for years. World first Jino Vendetta NOT Apoth. Best PVP i ever played in an mmo

[Yoofaloof]

Just gone back to Rift. Been playing on and off since Beta. It is my favourite MMO. It's western, and there's not many of those about, none of this Asian/Korean rubbish.

[michealvincent]

The game at the moment is absolutely no where near as good as it was in its prime. It was the first MMO where i seriously got into raiding. Sadly slow content release and poor financial decisions resulted in the game being sold to the most morally bankrupt gaming company "gamigo" who subsequently monetized every.single.thing . Its barely on life support/maintenance at this stage

[dchap]

They are actively shutting down parts of the game. I would be very very weary of investing too much time or any money whatsoever on this game, as Gamigo has made the future of this game very clear: Development time will be spent of putting on sales on the cash shop, and figuring out ways to shut down parts of the game to have satisfactory earnings calls.

Rift was Love - but since 2017 its dead.
