Milestones: Into the New Year
(Evening, all. Your regularly scheduled Beta 3 wrap-up will come in the form of the Beta 4 preview because of the short cycle. In the meanwhile, here's a brief new years recap and a heads up on a different kind of excitement in the week ahead.)
Since we unveiled this game and its universe as Rift last April, hundreds of thousands of you have joined us here on the site.
In that brief time we’ve gone from almost zero to this thriving, growing community. A community that’s helping improve a real game that’s having one of the best betas that many of us have ever been a part of.
You’ve been the ones supporting us as we’ve been rolling this game out, and helping us prove it can stand on its own. From the story, to the souls, to the rifts and invasions, to the overall quality, and most recently as we've pulled back the curtain on these fun, massive events that make the game truly stand out as unique.
Throughout all of the testing, we’ve tried to do right by you every chance that we get. When you call something out that we should address, we do our damndest to give you the best game that we possibly can, at full speed.
We really appreciate that you’ve noticed the efforts we’ve been putting in to get there.
There’s even more to success than making a good game and taking care of it. We’ve also got to make sure that new people hear about us.
The more that do, the bigger of a success it’ll be, and the better the game gets in the future.
When you really like a game, support it, spread the word, but don’t feel like the company behind it is doing everything they can to help make it grow, it can be frustrating. We’re trying to do right by you here as well.
You’ve no doubt seen the increase in coverage of the game lately, and the beginnings of ads on the web over the past couple months.
This week, it’s about to get even bigger.
If you’re reading this, we thank you for being right here with us when it all started, and we hope you get a kick out of what you see next.
Now, let’s go make the rest of the world stand up and take notice.
