Rift Addons Are on the Way!
I read a post from the official Rift forum a couple of months a go where Trion stated that we will have addons in Rift. This was great news!
Anyway, I thought I’d check today and see what is the latest news on Rift addons.
Well I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest with you. Maybe I need to do some more research but I thought there would be a lot more addons by now.
I did find a cool website which lists various addons which has various addons already but most of them are still in beta. Have a look though as hopefully they’ll be live soon (I can’t see an addon option in the game yet).
So how will addons in Rift affect this great game?
Well I think it all comes down to ‘control’. If they have a good level of control for these addons and not let them have too much power then I think they’ll be a great addition to Rift.
The danger is they let them become too powerful like the early days of WOW.
I remember some addons in WOW could literally take control of your characters spells and automatically cast the best spell at the best time.
This gave players using these addons with a massive advantage over players who did not use them.
I will add more information about addons in Rift after they start to release addons and I’ve had a chance to try them out.
Anyway, please leave your comments regarding which addons you are most looking forward to and if you’ve found any that work.
By the way, I recommend the Xerxes Rift Guide. I think it’s best guide around and has great leveling guides, class build guides, dungeon and PVP guides.
