Thomas asks…
Do I have to buy the game to use a game card(rift)?
Do I have to buy the game RIFT first before I could use a 60 day time card?
I have already have a trial account, couldn’t I just buy a Time card instead and save a lot of money??
Dave answers:
You gotta upgrade your account on the website from a trial account, and I think that cost the same amount of money as the game (49.99)

As someone new to MMO’s, which is better/should I play: Rift or WoW?
I’ve played countless trials, but never really ended up playing any of them. I’ve tried WoW, and now I’m trying Rift, and Rift seems awesome.
I heard Rift basically takes everything good about WoW and other mmo’s, corrects the bad things, repackages it in a fresh new style, and adds new and dynamic content such as rifts. The game seems really cool.
So as someone new to mmo’s, which would you recommend???
Dave answers:
I played Wow for about 4 n a half years before i gave it up coz i didnt have time to play it. I think entering WoW now is a bit late in the game as its on its 3rd expansion now and there is a loooong grind up to the top lvls ahead of you. But the end game content is always realy good as WoW is a well polished game now is very good.
BUT… I became bored of the same old stuff and quit to play RIFT, …. Meh its okay i played it in Beta and the first couple of months of release but it didnt seem to grab me like wow did i didnt read any of the quests coz it didnt interest me and the RIFTs themselves soon become a pain when they take over the quest hubs and you can do ur quests.
If you can afford to take a chance on RIFT then do it coz i know a few people who really like it but i also know a few people who cant stand it and have alrdy cancelled there sub, me included.
Linda asks…
Rift or World of Warcraft?
I have been playing World of Warcraft for 3 years now and I love it but its starting to get a little old. Now I see Rift and it looks awesome. But i played the trial and it wasn’t all that fun. I wanted to know what you guys say. Does Rift get better if your not on trial? Compared to WoW? Call me a nerd, these games are great.
Dave answers:
Rift is really fun if you are on a populated server. If you roll on a server with a low population, rifts and invasions become more of a nuisance than anything. They basically leave the zone unusable until the invasion is over.
I hear that at level 50 it gets a bit boring but there’s still plenty of stuff to do. It certainly doesn’t have the content that WoW does but it’s a worthy alternative. In my opinion a lot is riding on the next major content patch. The game is still young and it’s hard to tell how it will do in the long run.
I’m taking my time to 50 while I wait for them to add more end game content. Rift has a lot of potential. It’s clearly set itself up for expansions. If they do the next few major content patches right, and their first expansion right, the game might really take off. Right now Trion claims to have around 600,000 subscribers. I’d love to see that number grow to a few million.

Rift Trial: Not authorized to play?
First off, WTF Rift, do you not want new players?
I literally just activated two trial accounts and neither of them work. I go to log in and it says I’m Not Entitled/Not authorized to play, error #2002. Apparently this is because I didn’t activate the trial. But I did. Twice. On both emails. So what the hell Rift. Any suggestions?
Dave answers:
It could be two things, either you didn’t properly setup the code, or the code is used/expired.
1. Start-up the game, click the account button on the bottom instead of clicking play.
2. Log-in to that site with your e-mail and password.
3. Click apply code under account management.
4. Enter the code and you should be good to go.
Mandy asks…
Played the trial for Rift and I’m very impressed. Where can I get a digital copy for a good price?
I just finished playing the trial for Rift and I must say that it is AMAZING!! I love it, and I think I’m ready to upgrade to the full game. Only problem is that my laptop in all of its shiny glory and awesomeness does not have a CD/DVD slot so I’m left with a digital download option. Now I was wondering where I can get a digital copy of it for a good price, and does the digital copy also come with a free month of game play after you purchase it like you would with a physical copy? Thanks.
Dave answers:
Wait a week.
To celebrate the half-year anniversary of the game, Trion is going to be selling digital copies for $4.99 soon. August 25 – August 31.
