A friend and I are bored so we are downloading the trial. If we fall in love with it and decide we are willing to buy it, I have some questions on how the pricing works as I'm seeing different prices all over the place?
On their website right now, it says standard edition for $5 but that does not come with the free 30 days? Otherwise ashes is $15 and that does include the gametime? https://www.riftgame.com/en/products/trial-upgrade.php
The one on the website for $5 clearly says in huge bold and capital letters, does not include game time.
Non sale price for regular addition is like $20-25 w/ 30 days as part of that. The Ashes Collector's Edition is the same just more pricy w/ goodies as well. The Amazon link is the same as normal edition w/o game time.
Rift is aggressive with their pricing. So you will see pricing differences all over the place. Was for sale for $5 w/ 30 days game time like 2 days ago for 2 hours only.
You will probably be able to pick it up cheap over the next few weeks. They are celebrating the game being out for one year, so they will likely be holding many specials. Make sure to check steam/amazon/other retailers for games for deals on the game.
