Hey Everyone!

Just buy the game :P

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

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.

Go and buy the game cost 20$ once ps3 is release and this goes p2p i bet it would go back to 30$+

If you have to spend money, then don't. It really isn't worth it right now. Maybe in another 6-12 months.

I am enjoying it, and while it still needs work I do feel that it is worth my time at the moment. SE is making steady improvements on the game, and as long as they keep going forward in this fashion I'll continue to be happy.

In all honesty, people can come here and tell you how much they love/hate the game but they aren't you. You won't know how you feel until you get some time in it, because all we are doing is giving you an opinion based on how we feel. But we might not think or like the same things you like. =)

To me it's worth buying especially since the price has gone down and there are no monthly payments at the moment. I've been playing since closed beta, bought the collectors edition, and I feel with all the free months they have given us while they fix it I've gotten my moneys worth plus some.

I hope you either get a buddy's pass or can buy it and find out if it is something you will enjoy. I'd give you mine, but my husband is thinking of trying it with me and stole it. XD

Good Luck!

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

[KaiKatzchen]

I understand that you wanted an opinion and its a smart move, lol I was simply saying take the opinions but don't let them totally make up your mind for you. Your own experience is still the best experience and opinion!

lol if my husband changes his mind I'll let you know.

I don't know about other servers but I enjoy my server (Mysidia) very much, has a good mix of JP, EU and US players.


Also Cendres is right, you can get the buddy pass but you also need to get the disk from someone and/or find a place to DL it from. The buddy pass was made so someone can give the pass to a friend with the disk after they were done installing, so you basically get two accounts out of one purchase. But, like I said.. if my husband changes his mind I'll let you know.

Good Luck!
