RIFT: Four Years Ago Today

Look at that beautiful Bahmi rogue! Her name is Kantri, and I created her four years ago today in the game RIFT. The nice people at Trion Worlds are big supporters of Extra Life, so they offered up a few freebies to the participants. I took the incentive and marvelous things happened!

Alright, not at first.

I had fun putzing around in the game on my own for a while. A friend told me she played and I swapped servers... and then I never saw her in the game again. (You know who you are. *scolds*) But then I felt really lost and couldn't seem to figure out where to go by my lonesome... so I stopped playing for a really long while.

I returned to the game in early 2015 and found myself in the middle of a zone event. For the first time ever there were a few people giving instructions to us clueless players and it actually helped us get the event done successfully. I caught the name of one person's guild and promptly asked for an invite. It ended up being a HUGE, disorganized guild... but was better than being all by my lonesome.

(Spoiler alert: RIFT, the guild in RIFT, and my Extra Life streaming on Twitch brought me closer to another RIFT player in the guild -- I am presently married to him. Yes, in real life. Just another reason why Extra Life means so much to me!)

I was very active in the guild for the rest of that year, even scooting all the way up to an officer position where I helped lead the raids and was also in charge of the RP (which was a lost cause unless all the kids were on summer break). I left the guild in late December with a few others because we disagreed about how some things were being handled.

Three months later, after having quit my job and moved 800+ miles to Mississippi, I went back to RIFT and created my own little guild called Spectral Gryphon. It's still there, and not very active, but I maintain it anyhow. I don't want to return to a crazy, large guild, and I hope to one day play some more with my friends and husband.

Let this be a lesson for you: Good things may just be waiting for you to take a chance. Oh yeah, and use those freebies you get if you're an Extra Life participant! They're a complete game changer, if you know what I mean!
