I have decided to go with my gut, and play Rift solo. I find myself more focused, and motivated playing games alone. On Headstart I will be randomly picking a server to join. I don't plan on letting anyone know my character name, or what server I have decided to play on. I probably won't even join a guild right away unless I run across the perfect guild.
I love the feel of a new game community. I don't want to be playing with people I know from blogging, twitter, or past games, and thirty days later I am the only one left actively playing in the guild. I find myself not being able to be myself when I play with people I know. I want to be able to blog about things that piss me off, or my worthless group, or whatever. I want to rage in vent without having to hold myself back because other bloggers are on. It is much harder to blog when everyone else in your guild is doing the same thing. This is an opportunity for me to make new friends, and experience the whole new adventure in Rift.
