Having already leveled through the old world more times than I care to repeat, the idea of doing it all again doesn’t appeal to me. All the sudden, I want to have a level 60 of each calling. With Nightmare Tide coming along, my priorities are changing. When I do, it’s usually less than the $15 I paid beforehand. When something new comes along, like the recent pre-expansion soul pack, I’ll ease the open the ol’ money clip, but in a general sense, I’m not paying Trion every month. We’re friends, right? Well, as friends, I feel comfortable telling you that I don’t spend a whole lot of money on RIFT. But we’re forgetting something: that looming, dripping behemoth we call Nightmare Tide.
Someone who plays every day… now they might want to give some thought to porting around the world and progressing 40% faster. For a casual player, there is no high pressure reason to become a subscriber (but those perks a good low pressure reasons to do so). Players who aren’t ponying up receive significantly less while simultaneously receiving significantly more than most other games they could be playing. The question of whether becoming a patron is a worthwhile decision comes down to how dedicated you are to RIFT. And again, looking at profound buffs like the passive 40% bonus to all experience, prestige/favor, and tokens, it’s easy to see how free players might be tempted to pull out their wallets.
Some players might even argue that it tips the scales a little too much. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? It’s hard to argue that patron’s don’t have a better deal. This week’s expansion will add a passive 40% bonus to all experience, favor, notoriety, prestige, and tokens 25% reduction in time to mount with 5% less chance to be dismounted a free teleport anywhere in the world every thirty minutes increased chance for marvelous loot from any supply crates three extra weekly warfront charges and a shorter 15-minute cooldown on all planar abilities.
Let’s look at where things stand.įor clarity’s sake, this is what patrons have received all along: 15% extra currency summonable bankers and trainers 10% mount speed 10% store discount an extra ten daily quests a free weekly supply crate priority queue artifact tracking (especially important with Dream Weaving in the game) and loyalty points. Just this week, Trion announced that they were expanding the benefits of becoming a patron – their term for a monthly subscriber – and giving players even more reason to sign up for a recurring plan. The topic is on a lot of player’s minds right now.
