One of the best quotes:

I followed up with the obligatory free-to-play question, and Hanlin said "No. If players want to try it before they buy it, there are trials and plenty of promotions that allow them to do that." He added that they "view RIFT as a premium service, and are focused on continuing to deliver the best dynamic content in the world, and unless someone tells me something differently, and by that I mean Scott, we'll continue to do what we're doing."

I find it reassuring that Trion is set on Rift not being free-to-play. Especially since they keep pumping out new content!

Going F2P would break their development style.
