Posted 28 February 2011 by [19]
Chloro and Rogue

And the winners are...

Well done to everyone who took part in our Win a Digital CE copy of RIFT. After much deliberation, and I have to say laughter (at the intentional funnies), we have  picked the winners of the best pics and written content from the contest. As there were so many entries and it has been hard to whittle down the winners, we are actually going to give away 17 CEs instead of 15.

All winners will receive the Digital CE keys direct from us here at Rift: IncGamers within the next 48 hours. Keys will be emailed to the email account you used to register on the site.

If you were not lucky in this contest, the main IncGamers.com site has 10 Digital CEs up for grabs from today but you will have to be quick to enter.

So who were the lucky winners? Find out after the break where you can see the winning entries in the written and picture contests.

First Major RIFT Content Update Within 3 Months

Posted 28 February 2011 by [3]


TRION's Will Cook

TRION's Will Cook


Speaking to IncGamers on launch day, RIFT Dynamic Content Lead Will Cook talked a little more about where the game’s story is going and mentioned that the post-launch content will be about resolving the story of the five imprisoned Dragon Gods on Telara and Regulos, and everything they will be releasing will be to enrich that story and bring it to its ultimate climax.

He also said TRION were looking to rapidly update and players won’t be waiting three months for new content which means new content won’t be too far off from the game’s release.

This is good news for players who are levelling quickly and will be looking for new challenges in the first few months. Will also said that the post launch schedule was one of the most aggressive he has ever laid his eyes on.

Look out for our full interview with Will shortly.

We are almost hitting launch day and Gamasutra has posted an interview with TRION CEO Lars Buttler ahead ot tomorrow’s launch. In the interview Lars talked about what it’s taken to get ready for launch, the MMO genre and more. Here’s a snip:

He added, “Making a good MMORPG is the hardest [thing] to do in the entertainment world — not just in the video games world. But I would also say that if you get it right, and create a visually stunning, highly polished, fully dynamic, massively social game world, then you probably create the most exciting, most emotionally engaging mass entertainment in the world.”

Level 50s Appear

Posted 27 February 2011 by [Comments Off]

Well it had to happen quickly but the first level 50s started appearing in the past 24 hours with world firsts on the US Spitescar server. Our own server EU Blightweild has just got the first level 50 which was announced accross the shard which was pretty cool.

Look! A Level 50

It’s pretty mental really, that’s some serious playing but no doubt some of the accounts will have been shared or levelled by redoing dungeons. Right now the IncGamers Guild has quite a spread of players as more recruits join the ranks. Nexxa is now our highest after hitting 30 yesterday, followed by Brakz and Wiazabi on 29. Progress has been good for the guild with Fae and Iron Tomb both being run yesterday for the newer members. We’ll be keeping everyone posted on how we are doing and if you fancy joining us then head to the IncGamers Guild forum

Hotfix #1

Posted 26 February 2011 by [Comments Off]

The servers have been up and down a few times this evening and the latest downtime was for some important updates. The patch is 45mb and contains the following:

QUESTS
* Freemarch: The Wayward Package quest is no longer offered daily.
* Silverwood: When Rudy Tanlop’s wagon is under attack during a zone events, he should yell his notification correctly.

EXPERIENCE
* Dungeon zone quests fixed so that repeat completions do not reward the full first-completion value.
* Fixed a bug causing mobs significantly higher than a player’s level to reward far more experience than they should be.

UI
* Raid frames now expand down from the top left corner.
* Zone events that are failed will be removed from quest tracking once again.

CLIENT/SERVER
* The login queue message box can now only be cancelled by clicking on the Cancel button. You should now be safe to browse the web while queued!
* Improved accuracy of AFK timeout checks in game and at character select to combat queues.
* Server performance improvements.
