The last few days I've been looking for Rifts, and they are really hard to find on the weekend.

You looking for PvP for your video? I'm checking your thread daily but nothing yet xD

By adding smaller rifts, more randomly (with like 1-3 usage times) ganking woudln't be a problem?

I'm checking the new curse system atm.. seems like rifts are for high and well geared people now only :P

[Atarsamain]

More rifts? No. Bad idea. You'd be happy to find a party if you go through rift B or C. In C-Aion it was really hard to find players interested in PvP.

the Abyss is small, though percentage of players playing in the Abyss is even smaller

Yup lol, I'm uploading a small PvP video right now actually. Look for it in about an hour, I will also make a post in that topic when its fully up. It only has 1 kill, while the other people just ran from me and got away =/.

No, it doesn't.

True..

Also thanks for clearing that up.

When the game is released there will be more communication when it comes to rifts openings since everyone will speak english...unless china decides to get back at us and flood our servers with foreigners lol.

Sure, when it's you ganking the lowbie, the other way around stops being funny, heh? too bad isn't going to exit PvE only servers :<.

And of course there's ganking in the Abyss, It's a full pvp zone. I personally dislike being interrupted while making my quests, my grinding, whatever.

[Feii]

I don't care it's a part of the game, if i would a PvE game i could play FF11 ;/

Btw Ncsoft already decided to limit PvPer gank activity with the rift nerf.
Aion is being more and more PvE/carebear after each update, it sux.

The term ganking has lost almost all meaning. Most people just mean getting attacked by someone, usually when they're not specifically out for PvP. Those of us who really do enjoy PvP, find it exciting to have to look over our shoulder a bit. Doesn't have to be a high level dusting lowbies all the time, or 20 guys jumping on one, etc.

If you're so against PvP, I'm surprised you're that interested in this game -- PvP is so central to it. From my experience the Chinese aren't terribly active in PvP...but you can bet when it hits NA/EU people will be constantly rift-jumping, and you WILL get attacked. Probably by a zerg, lol. So I'd prepare for that if I were you

This makes me so sad, and is the core reason I could never play on a Chinese server.

Korean Servers? The Abyss is full of people, and gank groups scour the lands.

Chinese? Everyone is nice and friendly, and wants to help, and like, 2 people in the entire Abyss.

[Cynic]

I don't know what server you're on Xole but I never have any issues finding wandering groups of Elyos, hell that place is bursting at the seems during prime time.

[Kiyam]

more rifts are a bad idea imho

your just gona gank a lot more and i can guarantee you going to enjoy some pvp at lv 20+ ( lol ) your in for some serious ownage at this stage.

[Rinalas]

Personally I'm glad they have this feature and could care less if there was more or less of them. Quite often it is just ganking. On the positive side it adds PvP into areas that would not have it otherwise, and so that's fantastic. As for looking for rifts and other zones with them, etc. -- here's a little gem from this very site:

Rift - Aion: the Tower of Eternity Wiki - AionSource.com

my props to those working on the wiki, especially if you can flush out the entire site like that.

I dunno, the Chinese people on my server are pretty into ganking and PvP. There's huge buildups in the Abyss all the time, and even when I play in the dead times (5 or 6 am for them) I still get ganked in the Abyss.

Also, there's an Asmodian on our server that EVERY Elyos knows by name: 皇帝四哥, which roughly translates to Emperor Four Brother. I think he hit 214,000 Abyss points about 2 weeks after the game went live. He's known for coming through a rift in Interdiktah and basically farming Elyos for hours. He killed me 5 times. Now the Eylos on our server pinpoints his location in the global channels as soon as he's spotted. Basically public enemy #1.

[Auchiz0r]

Global channels,as in what, looking for group?
I still wanna hear more about that rift curse...

[tpg0007]

Don't forget about the numerous quests that require you to go through a rift. You won't think there's too many rift after you get a party together and wait for 6 hours to do a quest because the one nearest to your quest objective won't spawn.
