I am done teasing now that the Beta rounds have begun. I am just going to preview this note from the upcoming patch notes:
PATCH NOTES: GENERAL * You may now equip items of any armor type in your Wardrobe. Mix and match - the world is your closet! Hold on, let me repeat that. * You may now equip items of any armor type in your Wardrobe.

Now a Melee Mage can look like a freaking Heavy Duty Plate Wearer. So above and Beyond IMBA.

Holy balls, I'M SO HAPPY! Seriously. I love outfits. Like. A lot. And there's SO much awesome cloth/leather/plate my cleric can't wear. I'm so fucking stoked for this. Like, really, this kinda small thing is a really big deal for me for some reason ^_^

The moment that NDA comes up, I'm hitting twitch.tv hardcore. Will livestream lots. Whenever I can and then I'll totally do streaming of my quest to 60 when the game is launched.

Because: nerd.

I Feel it too. The beta has been one incredible helping of awesomesauce and culminating in one big epic nerdgasm.

I would so love to discuss and share my experiences on it so far. so much shit I didn't expect and it feels so damn good to have every one of your expectations shattered.

In the mean time, I leave you all with another QoL change that's been made public:

Hartsman showed that during PAX while he was showing off the new bard skills. Just like the fact that you don't have to refresh your motifs, your finishers do that for you.

Sigh that choice is becoming harder and harder. SL does look awesome. Waiting until I get more information to make a decision.

Once the NDA is lifted there will be a ton of information to sift through. the notes on Quality of Life Changes alone are extremely lengthy, so I think you'd be in a position to have enough data to make a well thought out decision. Best of luck

This is entering fucking ridiculous levels right now. I do not know how they had the time. Once people see it they will literally be shocked

This is enough to make me resub

Good to see how your opinion has changed.

I've wanted to tell you for so long.

How 's the graphics , lag , how does it preform on older pc's ( if anyone is playing on one )

Graphics are amazing and lag is usually nonexistant in Rift - their servers rock.

Unfortunately most older PCs have to run the Low FX Renderer, which is, I feel like being redundant for, unfortunate. It isn't nearly as pretty as the non-Low FX, but Rift can even run high end computers of today to the ground depending where you are, so yeah, not quite the same as playing a game like WoW. =/

[ratharold]

I have never put this in any form before but this deserves a life first for me OH MY GOD!!!! Yes I went there and that doesn't even describe it anywhere near enough

[Tarien]

While I can't give specifics about the expansion because of the NDA, what I can say is that the new city is freaking amazing - just jaw droppingly beautiful with some really cool music, and Dimensions are just AWESOME. I am going to spend so many hours building stuff in there! Minecraft eat your heart out.

[Arothand]

Ok so without breaking NDA those of you who play/played WoW (prefer still playing, but w/e) how is it looking? I mean I really really like Rift (despite having a garbage PC that can't play above Low Quality Render), but I've always thought of leaving WoW and never actually done it. Everything I see about Storm Legion points to it being purely amazing, with everything, and the days are counting down to where I can make a decision regarding if I'm going to stick with MoP or leave for good. I hear nothing but good things, and Trion as a company has continually impressed me.
