So Maelforge and Laethyis. We will soon be out of dragons. I wonder where they will take things then?

Rift Previews: GDC 1.8 Preview "Also coming to 1.8 is more instant adventures on the Ember Isle. Another addition is the new Looking for Guild tool which is designed to get new players into guilds with experienced players so they can learn the ropes and become part of a valuable team effort on raids. They are also adding in leader boards and will be setting up more of these as the game progresses. They want to have leader boards for a lot of different things in the game to give players lots of chances to shine. These will come with a ranking system that will put the top players into tiers based on their gameplay. There will be boards for PvE, PvP, Crafting, etc. All of which will list the top players in the game on each server."

Kinda sounds interesting. Lets see how it plays out :)

"In the content to come there is a lot the team is working on. Adding more “non-stabby” content as the Rift crew calls it, so more rewards and vanity items as well as new social aspects to the game: like say, Birthday Parties. These tools have been around MMOs from the beginning but usually it is the players driving them. Now Rift will be adding in features for players to use as well as rewards for hosting them. Also, Guild Taverns is on the table as a new element which will give the guilds a place to meet and discuss their adventures. Rift is showing no signs of slowing down. " I like this part of that GDC 1.8 preview. I hope that they do include the "Birthday Party" thing in 1.8, which is supposed to come out in about 1 month's time. I like the possibility of more "non-stabby" content.

It would be so nice if they would give some love to the BEGINNING of our trek through Telara. A lot of people are self-confessed altoholics and it is just pure pain having to run the same content over and over and over. I've got to the point where I loathe Freemarch, Stonefield, Silverwood and Gloamwood. That's why I started taking my littles to EI almost immediately, to get them to 30 or so and safely out of that mind-numbing boredom. Even if Trion were to add the IA option to those zones, perhaps on a set schedule, one IA per 1-2 hours, that would help. This has got nothing to do with wanting to level faster! Lord knows we do that easily enough. It's all about keeping people from losing interest too quickly.

That's why I PvP and to events hehehe I have one character that short of the intro quests had only gotten levels by PvPing I have another that's PvP and done the zone events (for planarite gear) I only ever did real questing on one of my characters, my Mage.

So Maelforge and Laethyis. We will soon be out of dragons. I wonder where they will take things then? I heard the dragons are breeding, that gives plenty of off spring to look foward to, Reguscale, Akyforge or Cruthys ;)

PVP is not really an option for me as I truly hate it and suck at it. lol After years of trying I simply have given up trying to move like good PVPers do. My hands just don't twist that way or something...
