    Thumbs up Will our votes send RIFT to WCG 2012?

    No one notice that RIFT is in the short list of WCG 2012? I did petition in our fansite, may all of us will vote for RIFT.

    If you don't want to visit fansite to see that, I post the contents here.


    WCG 2012 has opened the voting for its candidate games. As a fan of RIFT, I am here to appeal all of you guys who love RIFT to vote for it as the most wanted game title in the RPG genre.

    It's sure to be a tough road to join WCG, coz we got so many competitors around us. TERA, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, WoW Cata, and even Blade and Soul and Skyrim are in the short list! I know lots of individuals will choose GW2 or Diablo 3. However, if we don't try to vote for RIFT, it will never get a chance. Our community dynamic players help RIFT to the short list, it's the right time to uplift it to a higher level.

    If not Now, Then When? If not Us, Then Who?

    Vote for RIFT

    *Note: The "send" button in WCG page will malfunction in FireFox browser, so use IE, Chrome or other browers to vote.

    Hmm, never heard of them. Did a bit of research into it.
    [South] Korean company.
    Not very popular in the U.S. From what I saw, they aren't even ranked in Korea - but they are in China.
    Odd.
    Best of luck to RIFT though, I suppose?

    Explaination from wiki:

    The World Cyber Games (WCG) is an international competitive video-gaming (e-sports) event operated by South Korean company World Cyber Games Inc.,[1] and sponsored by Samsung and Microsoft. WCG events attempt to emulate a traditional sporting tournament, such as the Olympic Games; events include an official opening ceremony, and players from various countries compete for gold, silver and bronze medals. The official motto of WCG is "Beyond the Game", which is also the title of a documentary about e-sports.

    Rift as an esport game?

    As much as I love the game, its no where near ready to enter the competitive scene.

    To many better games to vote for IMO, Rift is good but not as good as some in that list (Skyrim! )..
