Aren't holiday quests a waste of development time and effort right now?

[TheVedis]

Thats my thinking now as well, especially after WoW has come out. My thinking is that since rift is claimed to be so much like WoW (I can't say since i've not tried it) that once they give it a try its like WoW but without my progress i've made in WoW, and i'm sure a good portion migrate back.

From my standpoint, if I were still playing WoW and had substantial progress in it, i'd go back as well after trying something that supposedly plays almost just like it (once again can't say that for certain, just what i've heard). Well its been 5 posts and we haven't heard from peregine, let me get this back on topic. So peregine, which holiday event are you looking forward to next?

actualy, thats another breed of player, the type who wants a new game, but then realizes all the progress theyve made would be lost, havent quite figured out how to name them yet.
i look at a tourist as someone who doesnt go back justkeeps moving on
but you do have that breed that goes back to the old game every time after a month, and there are alot of them too

See for yourself what it takes to get an 8.7/10 Rift review

What critics rank a game at has nothing to do with how successful said game is.

Last I checked Rift had already lost a huge number of its players because of it simply being a wow clone and they can't maintain their player base past the first month of ownership.

Last I checked, there were like 200 people Besaid, and the game's free...

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

All ya gotta do is copy WoW and paste your own lore on it and you get a great review.

Gotta love rampant, biased, and completely unprovable speculation.

Thats belgianrofl's specialty.

Especially since all of the systems in game that let you search for players automatically truncate and do not report the total number that was truncated. Players can't do audits or census' with in game or lodestone data.

I had a couple points to make but after reading through this thread I've forgotten what they were.

Does anyone have a 'X' egg I can trade for?

No mandragora suit no care.
I'm looking forward to a holiday event that we can enjoy as a minor supplement to the game, not as the bulk of its content.
