[COME PLAY RIFT] https://i.imgur.com/bqi0hrN.jpg I got on rift to rename my characters because my server got removed AGAIN
it's so much prettier than wow 
BUT THEY ADDED LIKE 800 KINDS OF CURRENCY omg
I can't buy crafting recipes without CRAFTING CURRENCY from crafting... quests... idek
that is more shit than I want to do okay I just want to make a barrel of fish for my house is that so wrong???
I kind of want to play it again though, the problem is that no one I know plays it
and the existing playerbase is pretty shitty for the most part
I want a new video card so I can turn the graphics settings up though 
Oh what game is this? It's called Rift?
I've never heard of it.
But it does look cool.
yeah it's actually really fun ;A;
lmao LOOKING AT THE SCREENSHOTS ON THE SITE IS SO SAD
it looks like shit on my pc comparatively ;A;
the thing I like about it though, is there's significantly different skill trees for each class, so you can be almost any role depending on how you do your skills
that's what annoys me about wow now is that they basically removed the skill trees and you just get the cookie cutter set of stuff for your class hahaha
Oh man I like whhat you can do with the mage...
what*
I'm an Elementalist in GW2, so.
But I do like the cleric.
cleric is really fun :'D
ugh mages are though too... every class is
there's like an elemental warrior now too that has melee and ranged lightning magic or something
and it looked really cool but I haven't tried it
Oh that does sound cool.
But I'm more of the DPS and/or healer class.
If I can do both, it makes it even better!!
oh yeah cleric is really good for that
I had like a tank healer, and then a ranged magic healer cleric
I'd probably go with a Druid Healer.
yeah, you can choose three trees, so I did a warden/inquisitor/druid and that was my favorite haha
!!! YOU CAN PICK THREE TREES?
OH MY GOD.
I-I need to play this.
The options!!!
I'll probably play a cleric and a mage.
Because those are my favorite classes.
yesssss there's so many options lmao 
my main is a bard/beastmaster/riftblade :'D
my main is a bard/beastmaster/riftblade :'D
SO I CAN poison my weapons, and I have a pet tank for soloing
...You can play as ELVES?
and you used to get into dungeons pretty fast as support even though it's not THAT useful
SIGN ME UP.
I'm sold!
Playing as an elf in an mmo has been one of my biggest dreams.
yessss fufufu come play with me 
You still need to try GW2 too, Sarie. Right now there's like tons of Christmas events going on.
I'D LIKE TO SHOW YOU MY ELEMENTALIST TOO.
yeah I'm broke rn though hahaha :'D
that's why I'm back on rift, it's free :'D
I think GW2 is on sale right now for Christmas, lemme check.
I thought it was on sale, omg it was like only 30 dollars a couple of weeks back orz.
I guess they ended the sale.
Though I do also play on Ragnaroke Online 2, but I have it through Steam.
I played ro2 a little
They've actually added a lot.
There's a new race called the Noel.
I play as one in fact.
His name is Lennen. (Yes like the guy from the Beatles...)
ohhhh they're cute
They are!
Their origin story is so heartbreaking.
And you do so much in the beginning of the Noel's character story than you do as a human.
It's covered in tragedy.
But yes, you can either make your Noel be a SoulMaker or a Cresentia. SoulMaker are more of the healer/support and Cresentia is the attacker/DPS.
I have one friend going Cresentia melee and the other is going DPS.
I'm making mine a SoulMaker.
Because they're both going to need a lot of healing as Cresentias rely on pots for healing since they have no self heal.
SoulMaker can cover them plus revive and cast death on enemies. 
I'm also doing it because I'm going to be in a party a lot, so I really won't be soloing all that much.
And SoulMakers kind of rely on being in a party while Cresentias can solo.
Plus I'm using to being support with my Sorcerer.
awww I might redownload it to try them
You should! They're very cute!
I also downloaded Rift and made an account.
: D!!!
idk which faction you'll like, but I play guardian on deepwood, and defiant on greybriar
BUT IF YOU want to go to a different server I could always start a new character with you :'D
What are the different factions?
guardian and defiant. uhhh guardian has humans, dwarf people, and pretty high elves and defiant has weird purple ogre people, humans, and cool elves?? lmao
Oh I was going to play a high elf.
So guardian it is!
OH
Oh so humans on the guardian side are called Mathosians? And on the Defiant side they're called Eths?
yeah
I thought Eths were giants.
no, the bahmi I think are the weird purple giants haha
and then the other one is the cool elves that have nice hair haha
defiant has a way better story but I just picked one randomly when I first started so I have more high level guardians hahaha
I'm really drawn to the high elves.
ngl.
THEY'RE JUST SO PRETTY.
Even if they are supposedly very stuck up and snooty according to the wiki. 
YEAH hahaha :'D I always go with elves or humans
So do you have a lot of options when creating a character?
Like what kind of hair, hair color, eye color, etc you want?
Skin color?
yeah, some have more than others but there are still a lot of options
and I just found out that you can buy even more options with actual money hahaha
How did you get your character's mount btw? With actual money?
Or can you buy it with in-game money?
Or just obtain it through leveling?
you can buy them with in game money or with real money
Oh man I have to see if more of my friends would be interested in this game.
yessss bring more people ;A;
it's so fun to do rifts with people hahaha
I am walking around doing low level ones by myself and it sucks :'D
/just hits the replurk button--
/SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THIS AND BE INTERESTED--
YES, EVERYONE LOOK HOW INTERESTING IT IS 
omg it's 2 ;A; I HAVE TO GO TO BED but let me know where you go when you do start, I'll roll a new character to play with you
Ok, night!!
yes good 
THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WOW
i jk i've always wanted to try rift too haha
Let's all play together.
wait rift is f2p?
kasenrin: my main is deepwood :'D galacticfairy: HOW DID YOU GET TWO?
Showan04: IT IS come play it 
hahaha, convince me!
I am playing it.
CONVINCING RIGHT???
LOL ALMOST
but not enough
it's pretty, it has pretty much everything wow has, it's free though, it has DIMENSIONS so you can have a pocket dimension to decorate with dumb stuff you find
it has a dungeon finder, there are raids, there are more options with classes, THERE ARE RIFTS
which are like... random boss fights SORT OF that open up in random spots and a bunch of people can public group to finish them
but what's the most important. is there a tanking class that they have that doesn't make me want to smash my fist through my monitor
idek they are like mini-instances and fun ;A;
YES
because right now i want to smash my fist through my monitor because of my paladin
YOU COULD MAKE A NEW PALLY with other support skill trees :'D idk I NEVER TANK but i did accidentally make a tank cleric once
HAHA how did you do that accidentally
I was like OH THESE SKILL TREES SOUND COOl
so I picked them :'D
aND THEY WERE TANK ONES and I
did like two dungeons and everyone died because my husband was trying to heal and was really bad at it
then I switched to a healer :'D
haha tell your husband to stick to dps
it's what he's good at~
:'D
leave the IMPORTANT roles to us
lmao I don't even have an important role anymore
I'M SUPPORT hahaha because bards have cool music note explosions so I love them
I downloaded one from the big download button, right?
Then I got another when I signed up that said "DOWNLOAD CLIENT".
oh D:
SO I'M CONFUSED...
I am guessing either? maybe if they're different sizes, the bigger one
WHICH ONE DO I USE...?
...does this work on mac
it doesn't look like it but i have to ask
I guess there are ways but idk how far you want to go to play it
Okay I'm downloading and patching it now.
I had to update my DirectX too apparently.
I do have boot camp but space on my Windows partition is at a premium
also I feel like this should convince anyone, even Showan04 
I just noticed the christmas trees have like A TENTACLE MONSTER instead of a star WHY
...is that an eldritch abomination christmas tree star
it is hahaha
omg what the bloody hell
tentacle porn
....
hahahaha
I was just walking by and like WHY IS THE CHRISTMAS TREE WIGGLING...oh
oh sweet i can download it through steam
...it even says it's a small file
excellent
o h rift even 
I played this once upon a time! ... But then I got tired of being alone and having to do the same things and I never did figure out which playstyle was best for me 
I played this once upon a time! ... But then I got tired of being alone and having to do the same things and I never did figure out which playstyle was best for me
YEAH every time I stop playing it's because there's no one around
awestriker: it's 15 gigs all installed... WHICH IS still smaller than a lot of games
oh you play rift too~ what server?
I'm on both sides on graybriar (i think that's how its spelt) and guardian on wolfsbane (?)
oh, so then steam downloaded a small client which will then download a large client...
yeah I noticed that myself
a lot of the servers got taken down these are the ones left
yeah, all of the ones I chose when I started got removed ;A;
I had characters from two servers get shunted to greybriar
I'm thinking if I get back onto this I'll...start over...because I can. 8|b Or I'll keep rollin' on my Defiant-side cleric.
Because badass clerics yes.
yeah I am deciding what to roll now so I can start out with everyone :'D
idk if everyone decided on a server or not though
my main on gray is a ranger/huntsman rogue, but I be willing to start on a new server with someone
I like Defiant best, but willing to go guardian too :3
though the highest I've gotten so far is 23
hahaha same. WELL my highest is 30 but my cleric is only 23
I only got to 30 because soloing on a bard with a tank pet is crazy easy
yeah I love my boar
also have a baby (under 20) cleric with pets which I've liked so far too lol
my only request is the server be pve cause I dislike pvp lol
not to the point of completely avoiding it/loathing, but I like it on my own terms lol (namely equal footing/1vs1 usually)
yeah I don't MIND pvp servers but I'm awful at pvp so I generally stick to pve ones :'D
yeah I played once on a pvp server in WoW, I think I only made it to 80 there solely due to the fact I was in a good guild during that time ...though icecrown on a pvp server sucked balls
I'm cool with going anywhere actually! so I can start out with everyone hahaha
oh god, everyone in the chats on deepwood...
it's like watching a bunch of 12 year olds argue
okay I rolled a new one on deepwood. kanashibari
I'm gonna try the magic lightning warrior hahaha
oh I made a bard on faeblight just in case :'D lmao
GOES AND MAKES A BARD ON EVERY SERVER
oh on faeblight I'm pellegri
...well as far as that size concern goes, 15GB is literally a quarter of my HD for window
*windows
Should I make a cleric or rogue on deep or fae? lol
I need to update the hell out of my game and uh... not ... play Starbound for two seconds... in the morning maybe
I went and made a defiant rogue on deep, but if ye'd rather play with a guardian I can always make a guardian cleric lol
rogue is Babsidi
I've got one defiant on grey! idk I think everyone else is going guardian though 
I've got a defiant & a guardian on grey myself, the def is 23 , the guardian is 15 iirc
for some reason I just like the def side better, lol its sort of like how I feel with horde/alliance, I just like/have more fun with horde than alliance, the same goes with def/guard
but i'm the sort that likes to see both sides, thus I end up playing both
I really like both actually... hahaha I haven't gotten that far on the defiant side though. I think my highest is like 16 or 17
I haven't gotten that far on the defiant side though. I think my highest is like 16 or 17
but I like the defiant premise more
yeah that is me, I like them both...well I like so far what I've seen of guardian side, tho the highest I've gotten on it is 15/17 , while the highest Defiant is 23 lol
but I have more fun so to speak with the story line/quests on the def side lol
it seems to go a lot faster on def for me than it does on guardian lol
All right what servers are everyone on again?
ok faeblight i guess--
OKAY let's just all go to faeblight
haha
galacticfairy: did you get it installed? : D
this looks so beautiful but I has no tiiiiime
I made a couple of both because idk if it was decided yet... hahaha
well I can only make 2 atm since I haven't got character slots unlocked
hopefully I will get some form of present money that isn't locked to a specific place
/escapes FFXIV for a bit in order to...get lost...in the character creator...sigh
Makin' a dwarven rogue! /o/
okay made def rogue on fae, will make guardian too just in case lol once I decide if I want to go for mage or cleric
hee guardian then, I may make a dwarven cleric
dwarven hi5 o/
....or maybe I'll make her a mage? CHARACTER CREATION PROBLEMS
lol
....Yeah, rogue. o/
bb cleric
Rogue is Jusyaa on Faeblight o/
okay I am going to try out a warrior so I am isao. :'D I'm going to go add you guys
/sob I feel so newbish, everyone around me is getting veteran achieves/goodies
