I just felt like writing it to vent, as these news bog me since they were announced. Feel free to share it.

Threw my name in, got spammed by about 50 different Petitions then but managed to survive.
Wouldn't expect any reply but guess we'll never know unless we send something.

Unfortunately that is what happens when it's Change.org. I no longer sign anything of theirs as it is a surefire way to get spammed with petitions forever on.

Can someone clear me up on what's happening? I haven't played RIFT in well, quite a while to say the least, but came across the news that Trion have been acquired by this other company and was nevertheless worried, since I was planning on returning to RIFT.

Trion went bankrupt and was sold to company specialised on milking dying games. 90% of trion staff was fired, including all rift developers. There is around 0% chance of new content for rift before it will be shut down.

Thank you for this! /signed

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I signed it as well.

While the other petitions are annoying you dont have to finish them to actually sign the petition. I left from that screen and it said I had signed it.

I've been spreading it around as it doesn't just apply to Rift and everyone from each game is looking / expecting answers sooner rather than later. I'm not on any of the other games discords and don't have access to Archage since i have no characters high enough to post there so if anyone wants to spread this around over there feel free to.

There is 0% chance this is read by anybody it is intended for.

100% agree with your number one, its the main reason I stopped playing in the first place even though I still continue to have an interest in Rift and would consider playing again if they reverted to sub only with a limited cash shop like WoW.

Nicely played, Seshatar!

There were plenty of excuses in the thread started by Clowd ranging from blaming the playerbase to anyone else in their sights.
Frankly, the buck stops on Hartsman's desk. When 4.WTF was conceived, Hartsman let it move forward with no expectations, let alone timeline for content releases down the road. With not one raid available for how long into the expansion (if we can call it that) did we wait while the playerbase dwindled due to lack of effort/content delivery?

Gambling became the norm. Repeat after repeat of old, stale content became the norm. Then came the great desperation (AKA Cash Grabs) with little to no content delivery. Prime was the cash grab of the century to gain access to Intrepid Rift with its bastardized content.

Honestly, the management from the Ivory Tower down did this community not one favor and lead to chapter 7.

what do you all think there wil happen to Rift, after gamigo have bought trion?

Will it run on maintenance mode or will they make rift great again ?

I really think its the end of rift

[Kulta]

No idea, I am hoping but it may be wasted hope. I went to their twitter page and no mention of trion or rift...I am worried and find it odd they have not sent us any word at all but want us to keep the faith blindly ..I know I will not be paying for more sub time once mine runs out nor will I be buying credits..

They fired all rift developers. Why do you still have questions about rift future?

They kept 25 so I am hoping against hope
