Syfy was still known as The Sci-Fi Channel

Thanks to Trion's proprietary network technology, the company claims these rifts can be dynamically opened practically anywhere in the game world, although the content within them is discretely crafted.Beliaeff says the name change came after Trion identified that rift mechanic as one of the game's most important elements, deciding to put it as front and center as possible. "We've learned in the past year to really narrow down what makes the game special," he told Gamasutra. "RS 07 Gold We figured out one of the best ways to leverage our technological advantage happened to tie in with the mythology of the rifts. When we had people play the game, we talked about the different features they gravitated towards, and players told us rifts were the coolest part.""With our core architecture, our servers are not bound to geography," Beliaeff explained. "Once our assets are on a player's machine, we can place them anywhere in the game. It's not that in the zone, there are these three specific [types of] monsters; for us, data is data and we can place it wherever we want."Because of that ability for the designers to switch the content of areas on the fly, "there's really that sense of exploration and adventure," Beliaeff said. "It's not, 'Hey I've mapped out this zone and I know exactly what monsters are here.' With the rifts, it's 'What's here today? What's here tomorrow?'"Trion says it plans to move into closed alpha testing for Rift "in the very near future."The Syfy MMOTrion still isn't talking much about its MMO collaboration with Syfy, which was first mentioned back in 2008, Buy Runescape Gold when Syfy was still known as The Sci-Fi Channel.But Beliaeff did tell Gamasutra about the project's origins and its intended scope, which will merge the events of a Syfy-produced television series with player achievements in the game itself."The Sci-Fi Channel has always had a big passion for games, and has such a synergy with their audience that they wanted to get there in a really meaningful way," Beliaeff said. "We wanted to take it beyond the traditional licensee/licensor relationship.
