Rift going Free to Play


Recommended Posts

The title says it all, but I will just restate it anyways

Rift is going f2p soon (June 12th to be exact I believe) and currently you can play the first 20 levels of it for free anyways, so any one planning on giving it a shot? Its supposed to be one of the best MMO's out there right now....

Also if you use the Raptr service and accumulate enough hours you can get a free copy of the base game, plus Storm Legion (the expansion) and 30 days game time. Which means, you'd be one of the "Patrons" off the bat, and get all the benefits that gives you aka more bag slots, more souls to use (the SL specific souls) etc etc. All you gotta do is run Raptr while you play Rift and I think do 15 hours or maybe 20 of playtime (not even play time, just running time really) and blamo there you go.

Even thought I only got the game with all the expansion plus 30 days free almost a month ago (from raptr), I miss the pre f2p speeds. Was downloading all the patches and the full game with max my download speed (100mbit), but now it's hell to even download a small patch: http://i.imgur.com/RtvmMSb.jpg

I don't envy those that need to download the full game :D

Do I have to add Rift to the games I play to receive these rewards or can I select them once I accumulate enough time?

 

EDIT: Ok I'm now browsing through Raptr... this is awesome!

Is this still possible ? seems they only have mounts, pets and armor for rift now. 

It's kind of weird since the reward is listed on the featured banner on the rewards page. but when you click it they only list the pets...

 

Yeah I looked through the rewards page as well, and apparently these are limited time offers and that one expired already. Hopefully in the future they give more.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
