A Rift in the Rift

When I started playing the trial period of the massively multiplayer online role playing game Rift for the Personal Computer last week, my initial impression of the game was so positive that I almost thought of actually investing in the game. Direct2Drive had a one day special for the game where the price was cut in half if I remember correctly but that occurred way too early into the trial period that I decided to just wait it out and play more of the game. With the installation of Windows 7 that occurred on Tuesday of this week, I haven't even reinstalled the game into my computer and being so active on Justin.tv lately streaming League of Legends gameplay took me away from going back into the game. I regret wasting the free time that has been granted to me like this and I pretty much have only one day left of the game so at this point, it would be a waste of time to download it again. The good news here is that it is apparent that I do not need to invest in a MMO right now because I probably will not commit to it since I did not even bother getting the game reinstalled immediately after I switched my operating system. The bad news however is that I still feel a bit of longing for some MMO gameplay so I should find some means to satisfy that. Maybe Guild Wars again but I tried so hard to get things going with that game and every time it just wouldn't go anywhere. Perhaps I should head back to those so-called "free to play" MMOs again...

Even Steam has the game on sale right now but I'm afraid it's all too late...
