Tear is f2p.

Much like everything else in life, though, you get what you pay for.

Just so there is no confusion, the company making Rift (Trion Worlds) has over $100 million in investments for this project and 2 others, with most of it going to this game as it is their flagship title and the others are affiliated with other large companies who are sharing the bill.

This will not be free to play :p

100 is not much dude for 3 mmos

vanguard cost 32 millions and look at the failure it was (at lunch)
EQ-2 cost about 22 millions (6 years ago)


33 millions (100/3) is pretty decent budget. I do hope Rift delivers.

Read what I said.

Rift is their flagship game, the other games are being co-created so Trion isn't spotting the entire bill. This is the game getting most the money.

You're talking about some of the biggest budget MMOs ever to be created. 33 million is fair beyond decent, and Trion is using even more than that for Rift.

I bet Mercury & Copernicus are using a lot more than 33M. You have Curt invests majority of his savings (http://www.massively.com/2010/03/30/curt-schilling-says-majority-of-savings-spent-on-38-studios/), and you have the RI state backing up the studio with shit loads of $ (http://www.projo.com/projojobs/content/EDC_MEETING_06-15-10_MPISGL1_v11.19f4ae2.html).

That IP is easily excess 100M.

Wait, no f2p for RIFE? I thought Scott is pretty good at that :D

You need to understand that most of that is a cushion to keep the game going when it's not taking over the world... that covers hardware & support costs...

100m is nice but it's still not an amazing number.

Kank scores a critical hit against the Rift thread with his EverQuest question!

According to Faelor... your comment is blasphemy!

IMO I will wait and see. After the AION KOOLAID fiasco. I have learned my lesson.
