Rift – Queues on Day One

You would think that the game designers over at Trion would have come up with a better plan, because on Day 1 here I sit waiting in the queue to get to play Rift. Yes I know I choose a server that existed in Beta, yes I know it is day one, but still the most annoying thing to a father that enjoys MMOs is when he can’t play with the little precious time he has. I can tell you this though, being in beta and getting a fair amount of time with the game, I do like it.

The thing is most of the games require a bit more work to do the grouping and all that. Just today I started out my cleric and was at one of the scripted quests. So I start fighting in that first rift to end the war, well guess what someone else that was at the same point in the game just joined in with me. No waiting on groups, not anything like that, we just quested together and went our separate ways. That also happens with zone rifts can open up as well. That might not be for everyone, but for me I find it very appealing. Day 1 is in the books, now just to catch up to my friends that bought the game early. These queues are not helping at all!
