Hey, Rift’ers. I know you’re busy fighting back Alsbeth and the legion of undead attacking Telara at the moment, but offer me a moment of your time. Do you have a friend looking into Rift who just doesn’t want to throw $50 down on the box, but doesn’t want to miss the event? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you’re in luck! Your friend can play with you during select times, just by creating an account and applying a code.
Have your friend head over to Trion’s website, log in (or create an account), and give them the code you received in your email linked to your Trion account. It will look like this (minus the pixels on the code):
The event goes from 10am PDT April 1, 2011 through 10am PDT April 4, 2011.

Wanted to try out Mortal Online without the need for purchasing the game? Those of you paying attention will be aware that a free trial has been on the list for a while now, but hampered due to Star Vault’s desire to continue patching the game before advertising it to the general public. The wait, however, is over! Announced via email and through the game’s forums, players may now create a trial account here, download the client here, and soon be experiencing the full frontal nudity that is Mortal Online.
Limitations, you say? There is a limit of 600 skill points and a cap of level 60 for all skills. Other than that, you have 14 days to wreak havoc on your fellow players in the nudist colony. You may want to check up on the servers before you go in, however, as Star Vault’s Henrik Nystrom posted a couple days ago:
Dear community,
Our entire host network in Europe have operation issues at the moment. This is affecting our server at the moment. We got reports that servers running a game called World Of Warcraft is effecting these network at the moment via Frankfurt……
This could affect our server connections and they are working to solve it as we speak.
A game called World of Warcraft…Nope, not ringing a bell. Whatever it is, surely it can’t be big enough to cause lasting server problems.
When Darkfall launched last year, it was met with some heavy issues. Not only was the game virtually un-buy-able for months post-release, but there were many game-breaking bugs. That being said, following endless patches, and two expansion packs, the Darkfall of today is very different from the Darkfall that launched in 2009.
With the game’s first birthday on the horizon, Aventurine is continuing their effort to make the newbie experience more enjoyable: Namely removing the requirement to buy the game just to get a sampling of its flavors. Starting today, players with new accounts have the option to buy the Darkfall Trial, a seven day romp through Agon that costs a mere one dollar.
On the downside, you need a credit card to purchase this. On the other hand, this is in place so players do not abuse it to aid their main accounts, and players who do abuse it can be tracked down to their real accounts to receive swift judgement. Requiring a credit card will also prevent the gold farmers the game has done so well holding back this past year.
If you haven’t had a chance to try out Darkfall, and want some player vs player orientated gaming, check out the $1 demo. Head over to your local Darkfall website now! If you live in Greece, the magazine offer is still valid, I believe.
