Is it one huge giant sandbox or is it instanced?

so I bought it from Amazon
I signed up and verified my account and installed the game, but when I try to log in it says I'm not authorized to play the game. Am I doing something wrong? This is frustrating.
seems I have to hope for a code from Amazon, which they didn't send with the purcahase
damn impulse purchases burnt me again!

Unfortunately for me, it's not a sandbox MMORPG. The only thing on the horizon to look forward in that genre is ArcheAge.

Today's patch apparently fixed a HUGE CRAPPY exploit, which allowed anyone to login to random accounts without any login data whatsoever. This is how people's accounts were getting hacked/drained. And as a side-effect, if the owner of that account was online, they would get kicked. Even with the coin lock, it still gave access to the character-select screen, which let the hacker delete characters.

if you go to your account and look at purchases, check out the info under Rift. There should be a serial key

We tried our first Tier 2 tonight (Runic Descent). It went OK for the first 3 bosses. We had some wipes, but we got past em. Got to the 4th boss and wiped 10 or 12 times. He's fucking insane - does crazy damage (2400 or so a hit) and you have to rely on everyone (even the tank) LoSing him during the battle as well as juggling two adds when he hits 50% (both of them elites).
It's just crazy hard and if it weren't for the adds we'd probably be OK but we ended up just calling it a night. It's just so hard for me to keep up all my buffs and try to juggle the adds too - this is the first fight in the game where I've really wanted/needed an off-tank to help me out and we just didn't have anyone in the group that could do that (2 mages and a rogue with no tank setup or gear).
We're gonna try it again sometime soon and it should be smoother the next time around, but this was frustrating. It's such a simple mechanic but throwing those two elite mobs in really just screws everything up - it's almost impossible for the healing to keep up with me and with everyone having to constantly run away and LoS the boss the mobs take forever to kill.

Some player on the forum named ManWitDaPlan told Trion what the problem was, and Trion fixed it shortly after. From what I understand, it was possible to log into accounts without the username or password, all that was needed was the account ID.

Played a few hours. Considering I haven't really played any other MMO's, I don't have a point of comparison but I really like it so far. It feels like there's a million things to do and I can definitely see myself sinking many hours into this. I decided to go with an Elf Mage, it seems like a fun way to play and I'd like to be able to play a supporting role if I ever find a group to play with. I made a female character, hopefully no one tries to fuck me.
Glad I got this, though. Once I'm more adept I'll probably try and push my way into some GAF games if you guys do that kind of thing.

Interview with the guy that found the exploit. He knows his shit apparently.

Didn't even need the account ID. When you logged in, the game would write a file somewhere with a login token, and when you hit Play it would use that token to bring up your account. If you knew about it, you could login, and then change that login token to a random value, and when you hit Play it would log you into the account belonging to that token. So it let you access random accounts without logging into them.Iadien said:

The starter zone for the first 5 levels is a unique story instance. After that you go into your first zone which actually is pretty well populated because it's made for players up to level 20. You actually spend a good chunk of time in the first zone of the game before you move onto anything new. In a way it keeps the beginning area pretty well stocked with players.
I need some fun to play builds for Rogue. I'm... losing interest in my Bard. It's still kind of fun, but I really am getting tired of the constant Cadence spam. I need something different, but none of the other rogue souls interest me. I really have no idea why I decided to play the rogue archetype when I knew I never liked it in other games.
Just cancelled my subscription. I'll consider coming back once they fix the latency problems people who live outside of the US have with rifts and warfronts and they activate their customer support, because it doesn't seem turned on right now.
It's a shame, 'cause I was having a blast collecting artifacts and leveling.

Yeah, most of the time my latency in Rift is better than in WoW, but when activity gets intense, it spikes ridiculously, and the game becomes unplayable.speedpop said:
If it only happened during 80+ players rift events, I would understand, but, come on, it should never happen on, say, 10 vs. 10 warfronts. Unfortunately, it does.
Hopefully I'll be able to come back someday

Is there any notable guilds playing Rift right now? Is there any raids opened up for people to do already?
So I decided to reboot my character to change a few skills and to get on the Belmont server. Still playing as a Mage, but I'm specializing in Stormbringer and Healer (whatever it's called). I'm hoping that will be a good combo. I'm too green to do any serious stuff, but I'd like to join up with the guild if possible.

That's on purpose. Yesterday's hotfix coin-locked everyone, just to make sure everyone was using their correct accounts.Morn said:
Anyone else not going to sub after the free month? I was all set to play this until GW2 hits, but for some reason I've completely lost interest in playing the past week. I can't seem to bring myself to say logged in doing more than a handful of quests. I tried messing around with various souls and none of the Rogue ones other than Bard interest me. It's weird because I was really enjoying myself until recently.
I'd start an alt, but the thought of having to grind through the same content I spent the last 44 levels going through makes me want to play even less.
Maybe I should try rolling a Guardian...

I'm already subbed for 6 months. Still having a great time, though not every game is right for every person. There's always the initial excitement and then people lose interest or /wrist over some change after the game comes out and quit. It happens in every MMO.
If you don't like it, well, have fun with whichever game you choose next. Asking for an excuse to keep playing means that you're pretty much done with it already, you just haven't accepted it yet.

I'm definitely sticking on. I'm signed up for 6 months at the reduced rate. I'm about to be level 50 and it looks like there's a decent amount of content in both single group and raid form with more to come. I will also be starting up a Defiant alt on a PvP server and look forward to leveling up another class in a relatively different environment.

For those getting coin locked for the first time, just check the time stamp on your coin lock email to see if it was just received or if it was sent much earlier, which would indicate an unauthorized attempt.
As I mentioned a few up, I rebooted my character earlier today and I'm already at lvl 11. It's hooked me in, it's running through my veins. I can now see how people get addicted to these kind of games. I've probably put in close to 10 hours today.
Anyways, my Mage is coming along nicely. I can deal some major damage, I'll launch a few spells that chip away with long term damage as I fry my foe with thunderbolt. I love to stack damage and watch my foe's health plummet. I can kick some major ass as long as I keep my distance, my defense sucks. That's my major weakspot, but I think I have a great character for laying down damage as well as supporting the team with HP and boosting stats. Very, very engaging game, though, it's gonna be hard to pull myself away from it. It's that goddamn carrot hanging right in front of me, I want it so bad.

yeah it's pretty fun. it's got some rough edges. broken quests, poor itemization(fucking god damn epics with endurance stats only), broken invasions(i dont think stillmoore has ever worked). but it's new, not even wow was this polished at launch, far from it. I hope they get that dungeon finder in soon though. Taking the time to form a pug is just not worth the effort and hardly any from the guild plays at 2am on weekdays, which is my prime time.
oh, also put fucking diminishing returns on stuns in pvp, god fucking damnit.
I don't know what most of that means, but yeah, I feel like I got lucky with this game as someone who decided to jump with a new MMO. I haven't had any issues with bugs or anything like that, it's played perfectly so far as a quasi-single player game.
My next goal is to save up for a mount. I saved a bit by buying through Amazon, but I'm way jelly of the dudes running around on giant turtles. I found a NPC selling horses but I only have like 50 gold right now.
