RIFT Beta

Well, I managed to get invited to the beta of Trion Games' new MMORPG, RIFT: Planes of Telara.  Because of the agreement that I signed prior to playing the beta, I'm not entirely certain how much information I can share.  Certainly I should be able to share any information that's already on the website, but talking about my experiences there, beyond any sort of general description might be crossing the legal threshold. 

I see that there are some people posting videos and such of RIFT gameplay already; whether this is because Trion has allowed it, whether it falls under the category to be shared, or whether the person in question even read the agreement (or a better question, do they even care?), I don't know.  What I do know is, I'm goddamned paranoid about posting shit on the Internet, and I'm not about to jeopardize my first blog in my second all-time post by posting something that'll get my ass sued.

What I will do, however, is create several posts that will release after the game has hit shelves.  Talking about a game's features whilst in production should not be a problem AFTER it is considered a finished product.  Hell, I'll see about talking to a GM regarding using information from the beta in my blog.  If it's fine, then I'll post whatever I come across.  If not, you'll just have to wait.  I say 'you', probably because there is all of one person who's going to read this blog.

I will say this, however.  I rather enjoyed RIFT, and even after I vowed not to get caught up in paying for another MMO, I'm very sorely tempted with this one.
