Has anyone tried with a new account? Wondering if it's just accounts with previous subscriptions that aren't allowed access atm.
I was under the impression that anyone with an account had these three days to play. Kind of disappointed that I haven't been able to get in. I mean I only played a month or two ago, but was kind of interested in seeing if I was still interested in playing. :P
I have a question about this game that stems from the beta. When I was testing the game in beta I had a problem where my screen would go black or get all crazy looking then the game would crash. I was never able to stay in the game for more than maybe 30 minutes. I have an older Radeon HD and think I remember there being some trouble with those.
I am curious, has there been a fix for this problem? I am really itching to try this game out but I do not want to waste the time and money if I am still going to have problems running it.
Thanks in advance.
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
I stopped following the game because crafting and realm vs realm conflict was so poorly done. Has it been improved signifigantly or are these aspects still in the sad state they were in earlier ?
Yes, and if it's been based upon that, I wish they would have said something because naturally I changed my security information the day they sent out the e-mails. I'm certainly NOT going to ignore an e-mail like that... So if that was my three days, that's pretty shoddy advertising.

Not sure about whether it will be a waste of your time or not, but there's a free trial.
will ask on the official forums and report back if i get an answer then
Thank you, I can't post on their forum and yes I did change my password when I received their mail after their security breach and can log in to my account, to the game, and to the forums, but it says "not entitled to play" when game is loading and stops at 91 %.
@AliceKay nice find, it's always reassuring when everyone is in trouble and not you only, somehow :-)
You don't think it's anything as idiotic as they got their dates wrong do you? It's a free weekend offer that supposedly starts on a Thursday. Maybe it's actually tomorrow. Or maybe they just don't know when it's starting themselves!

Haha, isn't that the truth!
They may HAVE gotten the date wrong, but it would be nice if they would correct the problem or, I don't know, communicate with us so that we have some vague idea of what is going on!
As someone on the MMO Champions forum said, there's no mention of this offer on the Rift website. The only reference to it is in that one email. Beginning to wonder if it's not actually happening.
I told a gf a few days ago to not enter her gametimecode before 22th, as there would be 3 days free. She now sent me a sms saying that she cannot log in. Tried it myself, also can't login.
Trion will likely compensate this with extra days anyway.

That right there is the mention. An entire page devoted to it, in fact.
Yes, same info as in the email. Where's the link to that page though? You'd think it would be one of the news stories on the front page. It's like they're hiding it or something.

Well, would have been really nice to know what time they were letting us in...

Yeah, they could have give us some sort of idea. Shoddy PR, thats what this is.

small question, did you guys/gals change your password recently after the database got compromised?

Yes, changed it twice still cannot get in. What is going on?

Strange, I don't think that even Trion have a clue to when it's suppose to start.

Very weird indeed.

It is mentioned on the german Website
http://community.riftgame.com/de/2012/01/16/rift-watch-19-rift-1-7-brings-a-big-boost-to-ascension/
"Come back to Rift 19-22 January"
just to clear up confusion the date came from trion but no time which is odd for their standards, still awaiting a reply though.
