RIFT : Planes of Telara

Grahamstown - Eastern Cape. I was killing myself to get sub 400 pings with wowtunnels, and the lag spikes were unbearable. I switched to Axxess and everything cleared up. Telkom decided to bump my line from 4 megs to 8 a couple weeks ago, and I'm keen to see how MMO's are going to pan out on my computer. My PS3 gaming has seen a drop in ping already.

The G-spot has/had the best & first I.T. campus in SA. Yet the rest of the town is struggling with internet access for some strange reason. :(
 
So... got the world event "reward" package in character mail last night. Managed to get the Lorn transformation item, which didn't help because i already had one (typical, isn't it) :(

What did you guys get? Anyone lucky enough to get the 110-speed mount?
 
What Isengard said.

But hey ... 20 slot bag!

The quest item seems pretty cool...I'll be upgrading my 5.7dps 2-hander lvl10 sword for a 14dps rare polearm! \o/ ... once i figure out how to do the quest. <_<
 
I managed to get the 90% mount on my main. Got all the quest items except the ones you get from the death rifts. Was very lucky because as I got to Moonshade, a death invasion started :)

Wow congrats! I really wanted a Death Horsey but it was not to be. :(

Small hotfix:

Hotfix #20: 22/4/11

RIVER OF SOULS
* River of Souls quests that have been completed may be turned in to Bourlana in Meridian and Brendnall in Sanctum.
* Quest items for Tools of Destruction and Exorcising Evil will continue to drop for any players with the active quests.
* Players are no longer offered the quest “Bolstering the Defense” by faction invaders.
* Otherworldly Sourcestone will no longer drop from death invaders or colossi.


GENERAL
* Major zone events should fire off more often and the mythical purple zone event currencies should rain from the sky! Okay, maybe not rain - but they'll be more common than they have been recently.
* Scarwood Reach: Sealing the Portal: The portal at the back of the Sagespire should be much more active now.
* Reporting spam for an offline character will no longer fail.
* Fixed a cosmetic issue causing the UI to report negative damage when damage preventing effects “attempted” to prevent more than 100% of incoming damage. In those situations, true damage taken was (and still is) 0.

Some exciting stuff coming up.

Let’s get ready to rumble!

1.2 has a lot of great new features and content - From the Looking for Group tool to brand new 10-man Slivers and Rift Raids, we’re making Telara a more dynamic and dangerous place with each update. But we haven’t stopped there! We’ve also added in all-new Zone Events to Stillmoor, Shimmersand, and Iron Pine Peak. Now we need your help to test them!

Join us Thursday, April 28th for a battle royale at 4:00PM PDT (11:00PM GMT) on the Public Test Shard. Help us repel these planar invaders, make dust out of the colossi, and save the Corgis (maybe Telara while you’re at it) from certain doom! Your help and feedback ensures these events are enjoyable for yourself and others when they are released world-wide with Update 1.2.

We’ll have leveling and gear merchants by the Porticulums in both Sanctum and Meridian if you don’t have a level 50 on PTS already. Don’t forget to purchase a mount – you’ll need to get yourself to the right zones!

This is a great opportunity to see everything else that is coming to RIFT in Update 1.2. For instructions on how to access the PTS, read the latest notes, and share your feedback check out the brand new Public Test Server Forum – We look forward to seeing you there

New Zone Invasions

Stillmoor – An Eye for An Eye

Picture Godzilla vs. Mothra vs. Mechagodzilla. This is a clash of the titans between 3 collosi as you fight in a three-way-battle of titanic proportions!


Iron Pine Peak – Planar Chill

Stretching along the spine of the zone you will need to defend and hold strategic points across the map and defend the Icewatch from the maelstrom of invaders from the Plane of Air.


Shimmersand – Scourge of the Sands

Merchant Caravans herd their precious cargo towards safer footholds across the treacherous desert of Shimmersand. Escort and defend these vulnerable lifelines and stop the Plane of Earth from cutting off the trade routes.

Can't wait for this update! So many nice new features and content.
