they are sending invites out in waves right throughout the event too.

not gone mine yet and i pre-ordered and it doesnt start for us euros till 6 pm tomorrow so im not sweating yet but come 6 tomorrow and i dont have one im going to scream blue murder.

on the mount  i had enough platinum/gold at lvl 13 or so so no worries there unless it changes for live.

I did preorder the CE, so if I get it right I should have a mount available. Too bad I am out of town from tomorrow morning until Sunday evening, so I'll be able to check out the thing only then.

Btw, no invite for phase 6 here either, seems they are pretty laggy atm.

all the usual gaming sites i think fileplanet and the like.

or check the games official forums people seem to give them out if you ask.

beta event starts tonight at 6pm gmt and runs till 6pm monday then theres another on the 15th of feb.

took me 2hrs to dl the client and patch up last beta event on a 8meg connection.

or google rift beta keys that could help client is universal so no need to look for a euro key or anything.

Shalbatana, Bahmi Warrior  (Defiants)

Server:

Kurtt if you do get a beta key from somewhere, its as BD says a very small DL - 7.5gb iirc from lasttime and goes pretty quick.

Also got Mangala (dorfy thing warrior (Guardians)) on Blightweald.

Warlord/Paladin/Void Knight souls are a go.  Very shiny together actually :)

Done a few lowbie rifts too - even spawned one myself - and wow are they good fun. The PQ style of them is really mint, good to see a game take that on.

Good idea, ive got a few id like to try out - will always come back to the warrior eventually though.  

Im very impressed with the stability of the game right now and how fast devs implement community suggested changes into it. That its tiny install size compared to the rest of the mmos I play excepting eve.  

The graphics are nice too - cross between lotro and war imo.

The combat - at least melee - is as fluids as wows, but with a touch of both war and lotro thrown in - especially some reactive stuff ala lotro.  Rifts dev team do seem to have looked about and thought to themselves, we'll have this and this and this from x y and z games, and not messed it up :)

I might pick this up either on release or a touch after - wait for the initial rush to die off - and play it for a while as a 4th mmo ;) (lotro wow and eve - with some dcu on the side if i get a station access pass to open up my ps account to get into the Planetside:Next beta)  I wouldnt start a hoj there, but I would hope those playing it could end up on same server and try to whore ourselves to the same guild :)

I'll be on voice in an hour or so if you are on it then or whatever (i'll be on voice most of the evening tbh), and I can help you figure stuff out/listen to you bitch about it :)

Zone invasion at mo in Freemarch on the server im on - fuck me thats epic fun. Watching folks having to remember how to play together is brilliant, as its not really possible to be the solo superhero special snowflake when rifts and invasions are up.

Oh and Discordant War Golem - level 20 invasion mob, being fought by over 100 lower levels - no lag!!!!!

He has 600k HP!!
