So hear it is, You go and instal Raptr (I've been using it for a few months now) This logs your time in games, and tracks achievements. Think Steam for example. Anyways, after 16 hours of play or so, with Rift lite, they give you a free copy of the game.

I've already got one copy, created another Raptr account, and am working on the second. Great idea for those of us who want to Multibox Rift, but haven't got into it too far yet.

Has anyone tried this out yet.?
crazy free games :O
might do this as well. as i been looking into buying rift
Yes, it is legit. I got two keys from playing and other people on here have reported getting keys also. I haven't registered them yet, but I haven't heard of any issues getting them to work. If you do install Raptr, make sure you get it to recognize the game and launch it manually through the menu you get from right clicking the Raptr icon in your taskbar. You also need to be in game and not sitting at the launcher for it to register time. Once I did that the hours racked up without issue.Quote:

Can you uninstall it after you have the keys? Feels borderline spyware, you're just agreeing to install it.
Yeah, it is definitely a bit like spyware as it recognizes all the games you have on your hard drive minutes after installation and tracks whichever game you are playing. I looked into it a bit and the company looked to be reasonable stewards of this info - not giving or selling the info to others but using it to recommend games you may like based on your usage. It is also big on becoming another social network (focused on gamers), letting you see what your "friends" are playing, allowing in-game chat, etc (something I'm not really into).
The keys are legit though, you can uninstall Raptr with no ill effects after you obtain them. I talked with a Raptr customer service rep for a bit and they seem like a reasonable company that made a deal with Rift that grows both of their customer bases. They said their offer wasn't meant to give people multiple free keys, though, so I stopped obtaining them once I found this out and bought a couple expansions outright. Still, they saved me some dough.
Downloaded the trial to Rift this morning, read its going free to play soon. Not sure what server other EU multiboxers are on.
Will try this app out, looks interesting. I like free games :D
Im just trying to get some accounts up and running for free with the app. as for shard I wouldnt worry to much as the transfers are free unless they bang that in the cash shop at f2p.Quote:

All gone say goodbye. Unless people found out about raptr and killed it with f2p coming.
Paying 10€ for Rift - Utlimate Edition and another 10€ for the expansion >>>> installing spyware like Raptr.
I was going to say...
The PC Download on Amazon is only $7.36. You can buy the boxed versions for half as much, but the shipping costs more than 5x games. -_-
If anyone is interested, I've got a small guild started on Shatterbone. Just me so far, but two Vaults. I'd be more than happy to turn it into a safe haven for us, and even turn over leadership if someone has more experience leading a MB guild.
MiRai, that is an awesome buy. I managed to get accounts going during the Raptr thing so I'm good, But I wonder if they have a better deal if one is a prime member. ( I loves me some amazon Prime.)

PS. Guild name is Strict Constructionist R Us.
I actually bought one of the Amazon digital versions of basic Rift to start Ascend a Friend from a registered account for my other four trial copies.
At this point, though, I'm guessing that buying Storm Legion for $19.99 will be a better option. The basic game comes with it plus the new souls plus 30 days free game time (or F2P credit for a month at this point I guess). Amazon offers it for that price, but the estimated delivery date is weeks away. Gamespot has the same price if you can find enough local copies.
Thats the side im on but im a gaurdian. Just waiting for my last account to go. Any name that has suicidal in it is me.
This is for F9thRet
Oh another thing they have just added more copies go get yours fast. I just got my last one rolling so ill have all 5 tonight.
adding to it now when u get the free copy you have to set up a sub. Just set it up and cancel it you still get your free game and exp pack.
I'll log in and add ya in spider, I still have a lot of cleaning to do today. But yeah ! Woot, I managed to get my other code now for Rift full game.
Thanks for the heads up.
ill leave my game up i looked for your guild couldnt find it. Name is justgoingwitit im a necro mage getting used to it before i run the rest of them.

I have a nephew now who is following his uncle Steve with the Corp, leaving for Pendleton this summer.

stephen
Ok well when u see me on send me a tell cause i got nothing. But thanks for the mount and the bag that helps alot. Now to get my skills up sell shit and make money so i can afford my other toons and shit.
Hey no problem man. Glad that helps ya. I've got to get busy and farm some more cloth for those bags, I've just been lazy.
funny thing is, My highest level toon, Joined a guild before all of this, to help out this Canadian guy I know. I just through the other guild together, as a private bank type thing, with thoughts of going MB if we got some interest.
I wasn't sure what mount you needed, so I just went with the plat for the medium one, I can try and get ya more Plat if you need it. Or of course, Once we sync up, I think I have about 80 Plat in the GB you can use.
