Actually, I believe that the beta install won't work for the retail version and the game needs to be re-installed/patched.

If that is the case, then this could possibly be one of the most ridiculous ideas in the history of gaming. Every MMO I know about allowed people to update their beta clients to play the retail version...

I haven't come across many MMO's tbh that went from Beta to retail with just a patch. Its often the case that the beta clients are heavily loaded with toosl for gathering metrics and various parsers.

I think the slick nature of the beta could point to a patch to retail with this but I aren't expecting it.

I'm only going with what has been stated on the official forums. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain a reinstall is required.

Are you still planning to play Rift btw ? Just wondering how many of the OcUk WoW guild is jumping over for a stab at the game ...

Well, if you use search or read stickies in the Rift forums you'd find out ...
but to save you same time have have a look here http://forums.riftgame.com/showthread.php?31231-Rift-install-question
Lets hope that Trion changes this.



thanks, but that post doesn't have an official statement but at the risk of troubling you sooo much again I'll leave it be :rolleyes:

tbh it doesnt matter if we need a new client as the OB finishes a few days before release meaning we have easy enough time to grab the retail client.
