The floodgates have opened! Now that the Rift closed beta NDA has lifted, players are able to share their thoughts about the upcoming fantasy MMO. The Rift Podcast didn't waste any time and posted an NDA-free episode featuring Trion Worlds CCO and Rift Executive Producer Scott Hartsman, Senior Community Manager Cindy "Abigale" Bowens and Tranquility guild leader Alyvian. They talk about rift system scaling, full-scale invasions, the overhauled soul choices and more!

The Rift Podcast also shared a couple videos of the massive invasion event that was held during the second closed beta event. Check them out after the jump to see the game in action.

But wait, there's more! GameBreaker TV hosted a special Rift edition of their "This Week in MMO" series yesterday in honor of the NDA being lifted. Gary Gannon, Josh "Lore" Allen and Jasmine Hruschak discuss their beta experiences. You can watch the entire Rift-centric episode below!
