They just had friends play free weekend last weekend, I'm not sure when another of those will happen. As of right now there is no official trial. WoW didn't have a trial at launch either. Be patient.

I heard that them not having a trial yet means that they are doing well. Yes? Maybe?

Not necessarily. Most MMO don't have a trial until further down the road. Remember, they are fixing bugs and issues with the paying customers first, they don't want to strain the servers yet with lots of people with free trials.

I don't want to be a bother, but I would love one if you have extra buddy keys. I've been wanting to buy Rift for a while now but I just can't seem to do it... a trial play would definitely help me decide.

Problem with trials for me is the HUGE download require to only play for 5 days...

It's definately worth going for the trial though. I'm very glad I did. Was so close to buying it the other week but after I gave the trial a go, I'm very glad I didn't. All of you considering the game, get the trial this weekend!

I am passing on this despite some of the fun I have had in the past with mmorpgs. Still the negatives outweighed the fun so no go on the Rift free trial for me and I am trying hard to unload my current WOW account on someone in my city.

Does RIFT have a lot of negatives...?

I see. Apart from the monthly $15, I don't see that many negatives... (unless the game is bad of course, but then don't play it)

Im working on my 3rd 50. The game suffers from lack of endgame. Considering all the quests are the SAME on both factions for lvling, when you lvl once thats pretty much it as well. Still good game.

Does RIFT have a lot of negatives...?

1. The soul balance is a complete mess, and likely will be for a long time.

2. PvP is a joke

3. PvE is an overly simple grind

4. Far too much repetition

5. And my biggest pet peeve was the mob density, you can't go 20 feet without being attacked by something and dismounted.

1. Its a mess and its awesome. There will never be balance in an mmo so devs could atleast make skill trees fun.

2. PvP is fine.

3. PvE is fine.

4. The nature of mmos. Anygame that is meant to last hundreds or thousands of hourts will be repetative. Stop playing mmos.

5. I just ran across the whole map without dying once and with my lvl 26 toon. If you are too lazy to manouver around mobs its your fault and not the games.

Yeah and I'd take your 35 hours played with a grain of salt, play more and then come back to me. I've logged 195 hours played since launch. I've done everything the game has to offer, it is far from fine in any respect right now.

They will prolly have a trial in a few months or so. The company is really going in a good direction with the game and has great support
