Raptr – MMO Fallout

Raptr's Top Games For November

Raptr has released their top games for November 2014. Thanks to the launch of Warlords of Draenor, World of Warcraft saw an increase of 71% over October. In contrast, many of the top played games were not as lucky, with most of them seeing double digit drops in playtime. ArcheAge, in the midst of multiple controversies, saw a 40% drop in playtime while Final Fantasy XIV jumped nearly 21% over the same period.

Raptr's Top October List

Raptr has released their top played list for October 2014, and the list is hardly surprising. ArcheAge remains popular, rising to the fifth place with World of Warcraft taking its natural spot below League of Legends in preparation for this month’s launch of Warlords of Draenor. The Old Republic rose three ranks, outdoing Final Fantasy XIV, while Warframe dropped slightly and Guild Wars 2 dropped rather more dramatically into 17th place.

November will no doubt secure World of Warcraft’s #2 spot among Raptr players.

Rift Tops Raptr’s Charts For June

Let me put my hard hat on real quick. Alright. Raptr is a desktop app similar to Xfire that we’ve featured here on MMO Fallout because it not only tracks your game time and achievements across your consoles, it also regularly gives free stuff at the cost of absolutely nothing. Thanks to a strong promotional effort between Raptr and Trion, Rift came out on top as the most played game of June, with a whopping 13% of the pie. World of Warcraft came in at #5 with three MMOs dropping out from last month’s list: Defiance, Neverwinter, and The Old Republic.

As far as PC games go, Guild Wars 2 ranked #7 with The Old Republic at #10, Neverwinter at #12, Star Trek Online at #14, Marvel Heroes at #17, and Microvolts at #18. Defiance showed up as #13 most played games on the Xbox 360.

Defiance And Rift Raptr Rewards

Here at MMO Fallout, we love Raptr for the fact that it is like an Xfire client that tracks game time, and gives us free stuff just for playing games. No surveys, no advertisements, no subscriptions, no deals, none of that stupid crap you get from other clients. It’s just a game developer looking for publicity, so they go to Raptr and say “hey, we want to give some stuff away.” That stuff can be anything from full games to in-game items, and is usually in-game items. The catch? To obtain most of the rewards, you have to have played a certain amount of game time with the Raptr client running. The Raptr client runs in the background, out of sight and out of mind, ticking your play hours.

Trion has a number of items available for Rift players, including a Tartagon mount, a two headed tortoise for players who reach hardcore status, a pet modeled after the Raptr mascot, and a helmet. For Defiance, the rewards aren’t going to be unlocked until July 3rd and include a starter pack (boosts and a lockbox), elite drifter pack (outfit), a Raptr-themed vehicle. Players can grab a 30% off coupon for Defiance starting the 20th if they are ranked dedicated or above in one of the following titles:

Assassin’s Creed III (PC)
BioShock Infinite (PC)
Blacklight Retribution (PC)
Borderlands 2 (PC)
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (PC)
Diablo III (PC)
Firefall (PC)
Guild Wars 2 (PC)
PlanetSide 2 (PC)
Rift (PC)
Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)
Warframe (PC)
World of Warcraft (PC)

There is only a limited amount of these rewards (five thousand for the Defiance and three thousand for the Rift rewards) so nab them while you can. As always, MMO Fallout will try to get our hands on some codes which we will place on our Twitter feed. Follow @mmofallout for updates and codes.

Get Forge 75% Off On Steam

Forge is already available on Steam for $19.99, but if you’ve been holding out for some kind of sale you are in luck. Those of you who read MMO Fallout know that I love Raptr because it is essentially a version of Xfire (or similar programs) that gives you free stuff just for playing video games, including free copies of Rift and beta keys for other MMOs. Since I can’t write an article about Raptr without someone accusing it of being sponsored, and since Raptr has still yet to send the unmarked bills I specifically requested, I’ve kept the articles to a minimum lately.

The important part of this story is that, starting April 16th, you’ll be able to grab a 75% off coupon for Forge on Steam. All you need is newbie rank or above in one of the games below, have a Steam account connected to your Raptr profile, have run the desktop app recently, and have a verified email address. That’s it. No subscription, no surveys completed, no stupid fracking advertisements. If you aren’t familiar with Raptr, you gain ranks in the games the longer you play them with the desktop app activated (or the more achievements you gain on console games if you link those accounts).

Assassin’s Creed III (PC)
Borderlands 2 (PC)
Diablo III (PC)
DOTA 2 (PC)
Guild Wars 2 (PC)
Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC)
Torchlight II (PC)
World of Warcraft (PC)

So what is the catch, Omali, you say. The reward will be offered on April 16th and there is a limited number of codes. I have no idea how many at this point, but you can be assured it will likely be in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Raptr Increases Rift Player Retention

Last year, Trion partnered with Raptr to bring exclusive Rift rewards to the game-tracking platform. By playing Rift, or other qualifying games, and ranking up in Raptr’s system, players were able to get their hands on a free copy of Rift. Through ranking up in Rift, they were then able to obtain some exclusive items, including pets, mounts, and a digital upgrade. In a case study posted on the Raptr website, the promotion went very well.

The goal of RIFT’s Raptr Rewards program was two-fold: attract new players into the RIFT universe, and give existing Rift players more reason to return or to further engage with the game. To meet both these targets, Trion Worlds and Raptr offered four distinct tiers of rewards based on a player’s activity levels within RIFT or other related role-playing games.

According to the case study, Rift saw a 470% increase in daily active numbers, with daily playtime per player increasing 58%. The entire case study can be read at the link below, but the final conclusion is that when developers give back to their community, either by lowering the barrier of access or by giving incentives to continue playing, everyone ultimately benefits. Also not specifically noted would be the conclusion that everyone loves swag.

Raptr: Star Trek Online Bundle Coming 9/4

Raptr is one of my favorite apps to have running in the background, next to xfire. Essentially it is a simple program which tracks how much time you spend in games on your PC, Xbox and PS3, tracks your achievements, and ranks you in each game based on time played and achievements earned. It also has a host of other features, including chat and suggested/featured games to check out. But what I love most about Raptr are the coupon codes that the game hands out on a pretty regular basis.

Currently in beta, the Raptr rewards is pretty basic. The list is mostly populated with item bundles for Blacklight: Retribution and Lost Saga, but every once in a while the program has pulled in some great rewards. We’ve seen giveaways for Mists of Pandaria beta keys, 50% off TERA coupons, and free copies of Rift. The next bundle, set to go live September 4th, involves Star Trek Online. By achieving “newbie” rank or above in Star Trek Online, players will be able to claim the Bridge Officer Bundle. By achieving experienced or above, players will be able to redeem an exclusive cosmetic pet.

The Bridge Officer Bundle contains:

Consumable item that grants 2,500 EXP
Pack of 5000 Raw Dilithium
Random Rare ‘Purple’ tiered weapon (space or ground)
Pack of random ‘self’ dual consumables
Pack of random ‘team’ dual consumables

Raptr costs absolutely nothing and neither to the rewards. The only catch is that each reward is limited in quantity, so you’ll have to act fast once the giveaway starts September 4th.

Raptr Rewards: Claim Mists of Pandaria Beta Keys

*Note: Since I’ve received numerous comments in regard to this and the other Raptr articles, I would like to point out that this is not a sponsored article. MMO Fallout does not accept offers for sponsored articles.*

We here at MMO Fallout love Raptr. If you haven’t heard of it, Raptr is a service similar to Xfire which tracks your games, achievements, time played, and more. As you play games and earn achievements, you rank up in comparison to your fellow gamers, and this is where Raptr leads the pack: Every so often, Raptr offers some great rewards for the simple act of ranking up. These range from in-game items to full games, and coupons to buy games. On the downside, the promotions are quantity and time limited, so you’ll need to be fast to earn them.

The latest deal to hit Raptr soon is a promotion for World of Warcraft. Starting later this week, players who are ranked “Experienced” (top 60%) or above in World of Warcraft will be able to claim a Mists of Pandaria beta key. There are only five thousand keys to be claimed, and they are guaranteed to be gone within just a few hours of the promotion starting.

On another fine note, this giveaway is available in all regions except for China and Korea. Sorry! Beta keys are redeemed through Battle.net.

MMO Fallout will be showcasing more Raptr rewards as they appear.
