NDA-Free Podcast: Scott Hartsman, Alyvian, Abigale & Beta Gameplay

by on Dec.22, 2010, under Blog, Podcast

Beta NDA is lifted. What a bloody beautiful day! We’ve waited so long for this.

Scott Hartsman -- Rift’s Studio General Manager, Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer; Alyvian -- forum and irc regular, beta tester and Tranquility Guild Leader and Cindy ‘Abigale’ Bowens -- Sr. Community Manager for RIFT join Arithion to talk about the following:

  • Beta NDA Lift
  • Rift system scaling
  • Fullscale Invasion of the masses
  • Soul choices overhauled
  • More than 51 Soul Points
  • Beta 3
  • Kelari Roll!

VIDEOS of the Event and more -- below the Cut! BETA 3 Info beneath the Cut!

The lifting of the NDA is refreshing. Especially after a surprisingly impressive round of Mega Rift invasions – where we can now talk about the one aspect of RIFT that is literally living up to it’s name.

We’re starting to plan our roundtables, debates and Theorycrafting podcasts. Looking very forward to this.

Please note -- Ari is not yet sure if she’ll have time (or energy) to do a 5th podcast in 14 days ;) We’ll let you know.

“ENTER THE RIFT” BETA EVENT SET FOR DECEMBER 28

“Enter the Rift,” the third closed beta event for Rift™, the upcoming MMO from Trion Words, is scheduled to start at 10am on December 28th, and run through 10am, December 31th. Choosing a character from either the Guardian or Defiant factions, players will fight through the first 20 levels of the game battling back planar rifts, running dungeons and exploring the vibrant world of Telara.

About the “Enter the Rift” Beta Event

Chose your path as either a faithful Guardian of the Vigil or one of the technomagical Defiant in the third closed beta event for the upcoming MMORPG Rift. As players work through the first 20 levels of play, they’ll have the opportunity to experience the new user experience for both factions, play through the zones of Silverwood and Freemarch, and run the first dungeons: Realm of the Fae and Iron Tomb.

“Enter the Rift” will be localized for English, French and German speaking territories.
