The buddy pass is, in essence, a retail copy of the game. I don't think anyone is going to just give one away.

Ah, I did not know that about the buddy passes. Interesting. At any rate, Im just hopefull some kind soul might feel generous and help me out, but Im not expecting anything.
Ive been trying to convince the wife to let me get it, but shes still a little peeved about Rift. Ive even explained to her the game has no subs for now, and even still, shes being stubborn. Maybe Ill get lucky and eventually change her mind. :P

You still need to find a place to download it. It's not like once you have a pass you get a download link unlike most MMOs nowadays.... :S

Talk about being whipped.

As for my opinion of the game, here you go:

It is worth my time. They shouldn't charge people for it yet, but if they did, I'd pay.
There's little feeling of epic goals in it yet, but it has a wonderful atmosphere and a good community.
The interface has a slow responce, but the equipment has an excellent design(though we want new ones now).
The combat system in itself is fun, but the stats are somewhat confusing and uneaven.
The music is good - some tracks are stellar, others are mediocre.
There is PLENTY of lore for those interested, and the dialog is great.
