Can we stop calling ALL MMOs released after WoW a WoWClone? Seriously over used term. UI interface designs are similar in ALL MMO games outside of many sandbox games, Asheron's Call comes to mind, but remember, WoW copied Everquest first. Give the games their due if you are going to compare, such a stupid analogy to use. Rift was VERY fun and interesting, I just don't have time to play MMOs and grind my way around a game.
those are great prices too bad we cant say the same about the game it is a good change if you been playing wow but there aree better alternate games to play
This doesn't mean Rift is "hurting" at all. Think of it more as an insurance policy. Dedicated player will take advantage of this and save some money in the long run... meanwhile, Trion will get more money up front (granted less over time), but by the time is matters Rift will have gained a considerable amount of people.
This isn't a sign of a game dying at all, if it were then you'd see prices go down across the board... the 1 month price remains the same and most people will still take that route. Trion knows that have a great game and others know this as well. All this marketing stuff is nothing more than trying to promote the game because they know, more often than not, people will get hooked.

like what? people always quick to know and say "something" out there is better, but no one says what it is.. someone share this secret game please?
"i play this game that's WAY better, (but not going to talk about it due to it sucking as bad as most of the crap that's tossed out theses days)."
why'd you post? you played Rift for a month as a casual, leveled two classes to to low 20s and said screw it? you run with non fails in HK pushing progression? you seen how the game has evolved? seen how trion gives players what they ask for? seen how your low price sub gets put to good use? nah? hmm.. i can be grumpy too. np.

Trion has continued to higher staff. Last count I saw they are at 532+ employees. They have 2 major games in development. They announced they have made all their money back from Rift and are now making 70% profit off subs. Wow they sure are struggling.

yeah it does kind of make you laugh when you see all the doom and gloom post regarding thsis and other games.peronally i dont know what the fascination is wanting a game to fail..i just think its really sad when people do those types of post..especially where trion are concerned..these guys put so much hard work in .makin sure that the game is so polished etc.and they add contenet quicker than anyone else..not to mention they patch so quickly.i know where i am best off so i got me and my wife a sub for a year each.
A bonus is an unexpected gift, whereas a discount is a deduction of the usual cost. The only bonus I see is getting early vet rewards, which hardly seems worthy of a thread titled as "Bonuses Galore".

oh this game...
Buying cheap 60 day gametime cards on Ebay, a month comes even cheaper than the official 6 month plan -plus you are not stuck subbed.
I allready cancelled my SWTOR, and went back to Rift 10 days ago and for me it was the right thing
Havent looked back for a second, Rift is like the Borg "Resistance is futile !"

You may want to reread what I wrote, because I mentioned Vet rewards...
