So by “dynamic world” do you mean a bunch of unnaturally shaped identical rooms generated in a random number with narrow passageways connecting them together with junk strewn about to make you stronger for as long as you remain alive within, or are you referring to a bunch of time-traveling, reality sliding, xenotech that can also end world hunger and cure all known maladies including all forms of cancer no matter the stage it’s in form of “dynamic world”?
Wasn’t RIFTS a (tabletop) RPG? Made by the people who also did the Robotech RPG adaptation? It was pretty big in the 80’s. Not quite D&D, but big. It even has the same premise (rifts bring things from other dimensions to Earth.) Pretty good actually, as I recall. Even if this is unrelated, I’m sure that game’s creators could sue.
I got a beta key but I’m not sure if it’s working, really. it still says there are no upcoming beta events on my trion account page. but yes, it looks promising.
They send you an e-mail to invite you to the next beta event. I got one but I’m not going to bother with it. I’m waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out…whenever that will be.
IIRC RIFTS was the most broken system in the history of rpgs, whereas MMORPGs need to keep players underpowered so that they keep [STRIKE]paying[/STRIKE][STRIKE] slaving[/STRIKE] playing. Let’s see how this turns out.
the beta is lotsa fun so far btw. :3 it’s very very wow like in terms of UI and leveling/skilling concepts. story, races and rift concepts are entirely new though. I like it so far. Looks like it has a lot of potential.
