After jonesing so badly for another shot at Rift…I was denied! Most of the UK customers with BT were unable to play. Evidently Trion has changed ports to a range that BT considers to be the exclusive province of P2P, so the game is being throttled. This has to be a new world record for …
The open beta for Rift is almost here, and you just know I’ll be spineless and play. How could I not? As much as I am not looking forward to a new influx of the comparing-to-other-MMOs (an ongoing argument in early level general chat in every beta), I have been jonesing for Rift badly enough …
