Rift – The post 1.2 plaque grind
It has been a few weeks since the release of Rift’s 1.2 patch that brought an end to my beloved daily quests and the rise of the LFG tool. I complained quite a bit about it and have continued to … Continue reading
Tuesday Tip – Willful Ignorance

Raid Rifts Loved & Loathed
Iniquity and I have moved forwards in our progression and have began a routine of dropping raid rifts. As a rifting junky this is something that I’m extremely excited about and have, in general, been loving. At the same time … Continue reading
