Blizzard just know that there is a high probability that some of their previous subscribers will most likely try out RIFT. There is also a high probability that some of those people may not enjoy RIFT, and by offering a return trial, they may be able to get said person to return to WoW.

Why is it not going to plan haha?
I installed the game 30 minutes before headstart launch with ease. Then myself and some friends played on and off all day with not a single problem.
They also started with 29 servers and added ~7-9 throughout the day.
I am still looking for the problem. Please tell me.
I would agree that "not according to plan" is relative. I have yet to play a game that has dled, patched, and played this quickly. I had to switch servers from beta because of queue times, but they are not exactly hurting for folks.

Ah yes the fabled person who gets no problems when downloading/installing/running an MMO clinet during HS, etc. that surely means there are NO problems WHATSOEVER...
How about instead of me hand holding you during the past stressful 48+ hours you isntead take your laziness to the technical section of the official RIFT forums and check out th multitiude of issues that have arisen from beta to release?
Don't be so stupid in believing just because you and a small number of mates had no issues that everyone in the world is unplagued by any issues, all it does is show your immaturity/niavity.

Seriously?
Your personal problem has absolutely nothing to do with the Headstart, which has been a MASSIVE success, despite what you want people to believe.
Most of the headstart peeps had the client downloaded within an hour, there has been nothing but praise about how fast the patcher is. The only people complaining, are people who can't figure out how to port forward when they are on someones router, people who lack the knowledge to properly configure a network, or people who have a shoddy internet connection.

Handful of others? Dude you are fucking clueless, once again I direct you to the official RIFT forums and the severe amounts of people who HAD TO DOWNLOAD FROM A TORRENT PUT UP BY A POSTER, just to get uncorrupted data which the updater2 was sending out (approx. 2gb in total).
But sure, you seem to have no problems so noone else has any problems right

I dont have a router, and currently downloading someone elses torrent of the assets folder at 900Kb/s, how does that say my speed isnt properly "setup"?
Seriously all you people are arguing with me over FACT, I'm merely stating what the forums have been rife with for the past 24hours since the start of the HS.
Blimey, come in here saying the truth - btw massive fan of RIFT and enjoyed the beta's immensely hence why I preordered, yet the amount of bullshit being thrown at me is almost hilarious...

You know why those users had corrupted data? Because they tried to shortcut the download process by taking the assets folder from the beta client and using it for the headstart client, which Trion specifically stated NOT TO DO.
Then, regardless of Trion explaining to uninstall the beta client prior to installing the hs client, those hapless individuals tried to update, and got corrupted data in the process.
Failing to follow instructions is nobodies fault but your own.

Wow Mr. Expert has arrived...
Actually I uninstalled my client before I installed the Rift Live patcher, and I saved none of the assets folder at all.
Then I downloaded the 8.32gb at a mates house, once I got home I attempted to log in and BOOM another 4+ gb to download, then after that another 2.7gb to download, then another 800mb to download, then constant 400mbs to download.
Don't go talking down to someone who has been on the technical forum section for the past 24 hours trying to solve his issues mate.

Why don't you just download it off the patcher? I got it done in 3 hours... No need to try to take shortcuts, because obviously those shortcuts have caused you not to be able to play the game now.
Make sure you get rid of your beta version, and just do a clean install of the rift patcher and update it.

He claims he did, but obviously didn`t realize that the uninstaller leaves data behind.
Due to that he now has issues, but needs someone to blame because it is easier than actually taking the time to diagnose the issue on his side, or admit that he made a mistake in the first place.

The fact that there is 25+ servers almost all full with a que time means your problem is in the minority. The forums does not represent the whole population. And if I were you, I would stay away from downloading a torrent and find a better way to fix the issue. All you need is to get a virus or a keylogger while your trying to fix the issue. And the whole moving the asset folder has nothing to do with the beta client. The work around was for people who were downloading the launch client and it somehow stopped midway due to connection lost. Since there is no pause button, this workaround allowed you to start off where you left off.

It's actually a handful of people that have issues. Which is always with each and every MMO.
The servers are packed and tons of people have a blast at the moment.
Both my gf and me had not a single issue at all either.
We came prepared and downloaded the client a day in advance, the moment we got the Headstart email with download details.
Then we logged in about 15 minutes in advance and waited for the servers to unlock and we were in the minute the servers came online and have been playing ever since!
I think this is one of the best head start launches since ages. Nowhere near the issues we ran into with AoC and WAR. Especially Warhammer Online was a total joke and we weren't able to play till the very last day of Headstart. Now that was a failure!
So far it's going extremely well with RIFT's Head start. At least here in Europe, where all servers are at FULL capacity as well.
Blizzard doesn't personally go through accounts and see which ones need emails. Hello it's called a database. Most emails are auto sent out to customers who come up in there queries as inactive or not playing.
Secondly, as for RIFT. Best thing you can simply do when it comes to downloading anything over a few gigs is download the game while you are napping or at work. Then when you come home the game is all set and ready to go.
Seriously, are you people 3 year olds? Dont any of you have day jobs or lives or something instead of arguing and making up bogus theories that there is some kind of massive monopoly around WoW? Take the damn tinfoil hats off. It got old ages ago.
When did you start playing "old school" MMO's. World Of Warcraft?
Blizzard just know that there is a high probability that some of their previous subscribers will most likely try out RIFT. There is also a high probability that some of those people may not enjoy RIFT, and by offering a return trial, they may be able to get said person to return to WoW.
It's business, not conspiracy theories.
Your some what correct. It's business, nothing more. It's got nothing to do with Rift. It's all automated and is the same with any user. So to the OP, I think it's more a cause of you hating on Blizzard than they being Paranoid over your single account.

I uninstalled the beta client and all remnants using Revo Uninstaller..then it took about 35-45 minutes to download the new client . The most problems I've had is finding a new server because my beta server (Faeblight) was full. *sniff* *sniff*.
From the forums I've read ,my experiences and chat in game...most problems (again, other than full servers) are few and far between relative to the population. Maybe other countries are having unusual amounts of issues...idk. Hope it doesn't affect subscription renewals...I'd really love to see RIFT maintain (and grow) in population.

Sorry for you if you are having issues....
I downloaded the client in 8 hours from South America on 2MB cable. 240kps steady.
HS was perfect for me. Besides queues (took me 1 hour to log in on Seastone at 6:00 est), I´ve played 7 hours straight no lag, no crashes, and smooth as silk with TONS of players all around.

So...either you have slow internet...... 3 Mb total and expecting to get the game fast which is not going to happen since it's over 9GB.
Or
You have a router and have not properly configured it for Rift which there are instructions on what ports to open up for best performance.
I downloaded Rift on Feb 21st but didn't look at my hard drive space. The download took an hour.
I then had to re-download Rift on Feb 23rd a day before Headstart and once again it took an hour. The downloads are fast and easy if you have the right bandwidth and router settings.

You're an infrequent visitor here judging from your post count, expect an argument or slam no matter you post and for what reason, these forums are for PVP I'm afraid.
I could post that tommorrow the sun is going to come up..... and I'd get slammed for not defining where in the world I was talking about, do cloudy dates count, is there really any reason to go outside and check in the first place.(because it's just going to be clone of the sunrise from the day before)
Good luck with your issue I've had challenges with large downloads in the past and actually not played the game because I didn't want to bother figuring out how to get past them.
I normally wait till I can buy the box version, usually means somewhat less downloading.

So...either you have slow internet...... 3 Mb total and expecting to get the game fast which is not going to happen since it's over 9GB.
Or
You have a router and have not properly configured it for Rift which there are instructions on what ports to open up for best performance.
I downloaded Rift on Feb 21st but didn't look at my hard drive space. The download took an hour.
I then had to re-download Rift on Feb 23rd a day before Headstart and once again it took an hour. The downloads are fast and easy if you have the right bandwidth and router settings.
You're an infrequent visitor here judging from your post count, expect an argument or slam no matter you post and for what reason, these forums are for PVP I'm afraid.
I could post that tommorrow the sun is going to come up..... and I'd get slammed for not defining where in the world I was talking about, do cloudy dates count, is there really any reason to go outside and check in the first place.(because it's just going to be clone of the sunrise from the day before)
Good luck with your issue I've had challenges with large downloads in the past and actually not played the game because I didn't want to bother figuring out how to get past them.
I normally wait till I can buy the box version, usually means somewhat less downloading.
