Gamigo's Acqisition of Trion Words: Everything we know so far
I'm too are sad now. I enjoyed all of your livestreams, and are truely going to miss all of you! Brasse, RR, Salvatrix, Captain Cursor, Dead Simon....![]()
I hope everyone on the Rift project finds new work soon. It's been a fun ride.
This is a sad time for a once thriving community. Rift was awesome at some point. For the Dev's who just lost their job. Get back on your feet and get out there making great games.
Check out Ashes of Creation. I hope you see you all in the next big adventure!
Thanks for everything, Brasse and I wish you luck in all your future endeavors! I'm glad to know that Rift will continue, but very worried about how it will continue. Part of what I loved about this team is that with all the good and the bad, you could always tell you all were passionate about what you were doing. We will dearly miss those leaving.
I called it 2 years ago. welcome all to the death of a video game. when a company bases the future of that company on a free to play but a monthly subscription based with no real reward, its called a last suck opportunity. suck as much money as u can from the remaining community before they sell it. ex primalists and prime server. i wont go into detail bc thoes of u who bought it..... HAHA!!!! double ,,l,, setsy. rogue master race!!! <3 now what will happen from here is it will b free to play. but eventualy the company wont make enough money so they will either one introduce cash shop items to empower your character of make them look cooler. came content will not advance past this point or it will b preschool lvl bs like it has been. the remaining community with bs toxic trash ex Stazy! ,,l,, we this gmae does u better stick to buying pills! now after falled attempt's to leach as much money as they can they free to play but pay to win system will b introduced and thats when its game over man. 2nd they sell it to another company who cares less and leaches more....... iv seen it happen to a # of games. it may take awhile but it will happen i hope im wrong.but history doesnt lie. unless its txt book.
love always

I won't be missing Brasse, but I feel for a couple other devs I've had contact with.
Hopefully this is an upgrade for Rift, and some of us might come back, but I see it being the beginning of the end.
It is way past time for doom and gloom. There are no more developers to work on "content releases," "the soul system," or anything else. 90% of Trion staff was let go. Trion's titles are going into maintenance mode (like Rift has been for the last year, Brasse et al.'s counterclaims notwithstanding), and any resources that go into them from now on will be focused on easy changes that can be sold for cash to players who make poor choices with money, like cosmetic reskins and in-game power. When a title becomes insufficiently profitable, it'll get shut down.
I was really really hoping RIFT woukd make a comeback. I was hoping that maybe..just maybe they were developing a new kick *** expansion that they were going to reveal soon. It wound't be like it was but something awesome nonetheless.
This is sad news unless the new owners want to take it on but I doubt it.
I've met a ton of good people in a few guilds and I'm happy I did it through RIFT.
As people.preciously said I did agreed with the things trion did from time to time but never wanted it to go down or people to lose jobs.
This sucks. How I wanted to fight regulos kn his true dragon form...
Goodnight Rift.
.
This is a very sad day indeed. I started with launch, I never would have imagine I would outlast Trion.
I know I have had my complaints but I stuck around. I am just in total shock. I do want to thank all those devs over the years that tried to make this a good game. Thanks for all the work you did with dimensions, they were amazing.
I have seen some of the devs come on to say goodbye, so many great people leaving, I just can not see the game being any good anymore. Is there anyone actually staying? Is this game now on maintenance mode?

So this validated every "game is dead" comment.
Best of luck to all employees who tried your best to keep a game going. Good luck in moving onto better things.
