There's a couple people on the forum planning to play RIFT.

The Headstart for Pre-Orders is 10:00am Pacific on Thursday. Trion just put a link to the client on their site:
http://update2.triongames.com/patcher/public/Rift_LIVE_Patcher_setup.exe

The beta client apparently won't work and you'll need to download the live client.

For everyone else the game is live next Tuesday.

I'm gonna carebear it up with the Neofag guild on a PvE server.

I'm sticking with the Faeblight community. Faeblight was PVE-RP in beta and Defiant side was the best community ever. If they rename Faeblight, they're just going to move the first PVE-RP server on the list.

Oh boy, another MMO that's hyped as the WOW killer yet becomes irrelevant after a few months. Oh, but I'm sure this will be so different from Aion, Warhammer, and other MMOs that had so much promise!

Trion Worlds announced today that more than one million accounts have been created to date, signaling a high level of interest for the company’s first massively multiplayer online game, Rift™, which is scheduled to launch March 1st in North America and March 4th in Europe. The news hits just as the game’s Head Start period begins, giving pre-order customers advance playtime before servers officially open on launch day.

Launching with 28 Head Start servers, Rift will feature dedicated realms for PvP, PvE, and role-playing players. Servers are live today, coinciding with the game’s Head Start period, which lasts until the game launches on March 1st in North America and March 4th in Europe.

If you didn't know, today is the head start launch of RIFT and the beginning of many strained household relationships as players finally dive into Telara for real. While we've known for some time that Trion World's creation was going to be a major player in the MMO field, it seems as though RIFT's release has caused other MMO studios to step up and take countermeasures.

In the past 24 hours, there has been a few significant developments that seem suspicious in regards to timing, at least. The first is that Blizzard dropped World of Warcraft's next content update, Patch 4.1, on to the public test server in the middle of the night. Mortal Online's announced that its free 14-day trial program is now active for any interested parties. We've also received numerous reports that EA Mythic has disabled the cancel subscription option for Warhammer Online.

Although we obviously can't be certain that all of these events are due to RIFT, timing, as they say, is everything. Have you seen any other MMO studios stepping up their game today as a distraction from the new shiny?
