Hey all (not that there is an all, or even a one reader lol!) I just wanted to point out that I haven't abandoned my dear blog (not yet anyway), despite everything going on in Rift. I'm just super crushed about what went down at HQ and the unknown factor of not knowing what's going to happen to my beloved game going forward into 2019 has me feeling bleh. I have no real desire to play and haven't for a while now. All the fatalistic talk on the forums just makes it worse and I'm pretty down about it. Add to this the fact that WoW's new expac BfA launched just a short while ago and I've been spending most of my time elsewhere. I will get back into Rift soon *tm* and will continue to update my blog as I go! Never fear, I would never just leave Rae's story hanging, and I'm still firmly of the belief that a thorough gameplay and lore guide needs to be written, however long it takes me to do it! *raises fist* I will get er done! Somehow! lol<br />
<br />
In related news, WTF TRION!? How could you do this to us?! First you treat us like garbage, ignoring players, giving sarcastic comments to voiced concerns, and throwing out microtransaction tidbits to keep us all spending money (which I admit to falling for every time because I'm a sucker for a pretty or unique mount), and then you suddenly sell Rift out from under our noses to a mobile gaming company! I mean no offense meant to that company but jeez, it just feels pretty darn depressing. I've been playing this game 7 years now! I've been subscribed yearly for every single one of those years! I feel like us the players care more for the game then Trion ever did. I know that "Trion" doesn't really exist anymore, but I'm still mad lol. Also concerned. There's been no official word on any updates or expansions, no official say on whether they are keeping Prime or not, and no actual concrete news since the takeover. I dunno if Rift is even going to exist after 2018. :( I am feeling pretty emotional about it.<br />
<br />
On the cosplay front, I had a blast making a humanized version of a dragon from WoW. Her name is Tarecgosa and she's my 2nd favorite dragon in the game. I love dragons so much and especially MMO dragons! They have so much lore behind them! I barely finished her in time for BlizzCon this year, but I DID finish! Which is a huge thing for me, since I never fail to be scrambling the day of the con to finish a costume. It's super stressful and I feel so proud of myself for finally finishing at a reasonable time. Also for the first time this year I entered the costume contest. ….it did not go as I imagined and I left feeling frustrated and heartbroken. Not because I didn't win, but because I didn't even get the chance to win. I was somehow ignored and overlooked during my judging time and didn't even get the chance to be judged....it was all a huge waste of time. Next year definitely not entering. At least I can say I tried right?! Another awesome costume is already in the works and I'm just waiting on the last of my supplies to arrive so I can start in on it! :)<br />
<br />
All in all, it's been quite the busy and stressful year. I've been working tons of hours at work, putting in as many hours as I can into a costume, and squeezing time between that to play the games I love. As for sleep....what even is that??? I went to places I hadn't been before, saw things I hadn't seen before, and met all new friends. I'm so happy and blessed to have this life and honestly there isn't much I'd change. 2018 has been, for the most part, very good to me and I say "bring on 2019!"<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the wonderful Telarans in my life! I hope your holidays are safe and happy and that 2019 is a great new year!<br />
<br />
Love Raeslyn and fam</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well it's Wednesday again folks! Know what that means?? Well here in the Rift world that means patch/reset day! Kind of like Tuesday is WoW's patch/reset day! :) And today is a very special day indeed for Rift. Why? Well, it's Prime Time day!!!!! They are releasing the Prime server today! Personally, I just woke up so I haven't had a chance to go at it yet. The newest data is downloading as I type and will hopefully be ready soon so I can dive right on into the Prime servers. Which sadly were given the name Vigil. What a horrid and biased name right??? I mean, hello slap to the Defiant faces. I offered up Regulos and Soulstream for suggestions but I guess those weren't good enough. That makes me sad because I thought both were quite the acceptable server names in my opinion. Oh well. I'm super excited for Prime Server because now I can finally feel like I have a challenge in Rift. And have fun! Well hopefully. I'm not sure how successful they are going to be with this server. They've already confessed it's not going to be like in the good old days because they lost/overewrote most of the original code unfortunately. I asked a few questions on the forums about things too and got some good, but sad, answers. So far, I know this about Rift Prime:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Level 50 is the cap</li>
<li>It's a progression server, which means it's going to progress to a certain point, then end.</li>
<li>They ramped up the original zone and rift events a lot so at least those are going to be a challenge.</li>
<li>No more cash shop except for purely cosmetic stuff, like wings. </li>
<li>Only 2 characters allowed.</li>
<li>Is a pve only server, with no open world pvp unless you flag yourself of course.</li>
<li>There is no conquest, apparently Trion hates that and is never bringing it back. :(</li>
<li>You have to have an active Patron account with Rift in order to access and play the Prime servers.</li>
<li>There's going to be a separate forum in the forums section specifically for Prime servers.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well as of now, I just finished updating, and after flailing my arms in confusion on how to actually enter Rift Prime, I've found it and since selected my server! And boom, in a queue. I haven't had a queue for anything for ages! The window tells me 35 minutes approx. until I can enter and play. Well...I guess I'll do my exercises of the day while I wait! Super excited to play!<br />
<br />
Update from the same night after work!<br />
Wow I have got to say, Rift Prime is definitely a LOT of fun to play. Like legit sooo much fun. I'm having a real blast running around on my low lvl rogue I named Sindragosa. :) I made her similar to Rae hehe. Also it was rather awesome seeing Brasse and RoughRaptors chatting in /4 chat! I haven't seen a Dev post in general chat in like forever so it was amazing to see them there!!! <3 Thank you Trion for a wonderful new fresh start server to play in! It feels so amazing. I really wish they would implement this in live. Seriously! Especially the mob/zone/dungeon difficulty!! And ho boy did I miss the mass numbers of players all over the place. I didn't even realize how silent, toxic, and unfriendly Rift was until I played on Prime on the new server! I'm having the time of my life and I'm already depressed knowing it will end, even if it's a year or more off. :( Well that's it for now, just to say, if your on the fence about Rift Prime, just do it! It's amazingly fun and challenging, there's tons of people around, and it feels very full and just fun! <3 10/10 Trion, good job!<br />
