    So let me get this straight, you are posting your anti-Rift conspiracy theories on a website that has had nothing but positive feature articles on Rift, while Trion funded Rift banner ads reside on the top, left, right, and bottom of almost every webpage you view on their site?

    LOL

    Obviously you didn´t read my post or you did not understand it... maybe it´s because english is not my first language and i don´t express well....

    I am not posting an anti-Rift post since i am playing Rift since betas and i am in love with the game....

    All i am saying is that i have noticed that some magazines and websites in Europe (Spain) didn´t even write a post on Rift´s launch...which pisses me off.

     Actually you missed my point.  I was simply pointing out the irony of what you were saying and where you were saying it.  I quite understood you were pro-Rift.  Maybe I should have reworded my response as:

    So let me get this straight, you are posting your "some magazines and websites are anti-Rift" conspiracy theories on a website (this website) that has had nothing but positive feature articles on Rift, meanwhile Trion funded Rift banner ads reside on the top, left, right, and bottom of almost every webpage you view on this site?

    LOL

    Don't you see the irony of this?

    I'm not here to bash this website or the game actually.  Personally I think this website is fantastic but I'm not blind to the inherent conflicts of interest to their advertising business model.  And I think Rift would be a great game if I had never played an MMO before.  I just thought your conspiracy theory was pretty hilarious in juxtaposition of where you were posting it...

    Thnx for the explaining^^

    I now get your point hehe, hard for me sometimes to read between lines in english ;)

    Notice most companies have avoided it an just accepted Blizzard as king? I doubt there is some

    conspiracy and it has obviously gotten a buzz in EU. Notice how extremely fast they had to add

    EU servers?

    Or it may be that those sites don't care to comment on one of the most refined WoW clones?

    Rift is a good game,a popular game,with a very suscessful launch....enough points to earn a review/comment on any magazine or website. Some people just cannot see more than wow? it´s sad to see what a game can do to some brains....

    I live in Europe,in Spain.... I have noticed that some magazines like "Micromania" (most popular in Spain) and some webs like Hobbynews or Meristation haven´t even comment the launch of Rift in Europe... and let me tell you it  is as popular here as in other countries... and we have a HUGE fanbase and guilds in all auropean servers...

    So...why is this?? Looks like some inner interests or payed favor towards other companies.... is like they are trying to make the game pass unnoticed.....

    Are really companies like Blizzard doing use of their power to vetoed (censor) Rift in magazines and webs??

    It looks like.......

    They must be really scared,but ffs it is a real turn off to see those so called pro-games webs and magazines doing it so.

    SAD.

    Printed game magazines in Europe do not consider MMORPGs mainstream material yet.

    Apart for WoW of course

    Luckily we have the Net
