Trion on Free RIFT Transfers

[Jul 05, 2011, 11:13 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

With RIFT version 1.3 adding the promised free character transfers, Ten Ton Hammer has a conversation with RIFT Design Producer Hal Hanlin about how this is going, and he explains why Trion is not charging for the service. "It’s easy for us to do this, I don’t know about those other companies who seem to make a production about it, but for us it’s a simple process," he tells them. "Our main focus is for players to have fun playing the game, and if that means moving to play with their friends, or simply moving to a more lively shard – then we’re all for that."

Money is the only deterrent to obnoxious behavior in other MMO's, then? Because you can do that in other games, too, you just have to pay for it. Yes, monetary loss is the negative consequence to a lot of things in life--including being a dick in games.
