    whatever there shortcomings on release they have more than made up for it since...sounds huge..will probably head back when released.

    Nice, I am glad there making the world bigger, That was the one thing that bugged me.

     

    Maybe down the road I'll dust my characters off and play for a while again.

    "Triple the size of the existing game world"

     

    That is REALLY hard to believe but if they are actually doing this I may be completely mind blown. I wouldn't be able to understand how Trion could make so much content so quickly.

     

    LOL Rift is even trying to 1up TERA, look at the chick on this page...

    Why not? Rift's current game world is one the smallest for an MMO. Tripling the size of Rift may just put it on par with launch WoW.

    Will anyone buy the expansion knowing you can get it for free within a few months?

    It takes one to know one.

    I agree I don't think it will be hard to triple to size of the game world at all. Looking forward to it.

    Ever think that people who enjoy playing Rift would want to support Trion by throwing them a few bucks for an xpac every once in a while?

    Not when you believe the xpac is bringing what the original release should already have had, ergo you believe you overpaid Trion already especially compared to those who acquired the game a few months after launch.

  • Hi, when 1.9 update will hit to shards before expansion?

    Kyleran:  "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

    John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."

    FreddyNoNose:  "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."

    LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"

    About the xpac? Yes, maybe I should be. Maybe, Trion will make a miracle happen. Maybe dreams come true.

    I like Rift. Got it around March last year. It only held me a couple days, but probably because my computer is pretty outdated and I could barely run it.

    Yes, 1.9 should be coming out within the next month. The expansion is supposed to be out in the fall.

    A vast new world

    • Adventure across two huge new continents that more than triple the size of the existing world
    • Rift was the samllest Land size of any MMO I have played so this should have been in the game from day one
    • Experience epic stories that reveal the true power in Telara ... and the gateway to the planes
    • I like epic storie lines  lets see if they can manage to do it right , Track record  says No
    • Make your move to the island city of Tempest Bay, a new stronghold for both Guardians and Defiant
    • Shattrath anyone ? Run out of ideas allready

    10 MORE LEVELS, 4 MORE SOULS

    • A new Soul for each Calling expands the Ascended Class System - build the hero you want!
    • Is it really needed?
    • Rise to new heights of power through 10 challenging levels, increasing the level cap to 60
    • First good news , but there really no way to justify not upping the level base  at least its not 5 levels  or 2 like EQ2 :)
    • Play your way! Choose how you level with questing and Instant Adventure everywhere, onslaughts, rifts, events, and more
    • DUH!!  its not an inovation that we chosse how to level . It this a filler in there wall of text

    BRAVE THE STORM

    • Achieve greatness with 7 new dungeons, 3 raids, a Chronicle, and more!
    • More good news , But still no new inovations  :(
    • Join the Hunt: New rift gameplay propels you into battling increasingly-challenging planar bosses
    • Yawn!
    • Fight legions of fantastic creatures, including a Colossus that interacts with - and ravages - the world like you've never seen
    • This I may love to see , depends on how the Colossus really interacts with the enviroment

    MAKE TELARA YOUR OWN

    • Dimensions: Customizable spaces allow players and guilds to own a sliver of Telara
    • What ? is this player housing but for guilds only ?
    • Take your professions to new heights with Grandmaster crafting
    • More grinding
    • Become the talk of the town and boost your stats with stylish new capes
    • Another thing that should have been in the game from day one , they could learn a thing from EQ2  whould have the best Capes of any MMO
    • New puzzles, artifacts and collectibles, achievements, mounts, pets, titles, and much more
    • Nothing to really dislike here
