Is this related to the Palladium RPG "[[Rifts|Rifts (role-playing game)]]"? That is set on Earth, but its main plot point is that a bunch of holes have opened up in the fabric of things allowing invaders from other universes. With the similarity in plot and name, I want to say they're related -- but the trademarks of the RPG (character classes like Juicers, Bursters, Crazies, etc) seem to be missing. If there is a relation, I think it should be made clear; if not, that broaches a bunch of questions that this article probably ought to address -- like was this licensed, how many lawsuits did this trigger, etc? There could be a real story here that the article ought to include. [[User:Deltopia|Deltopia]] ([[User talk:Deltopia|talk]]) 04:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC) |

 | This page was proposed for deletion by an editor in the past. |
Scheduled for deletion less than 24h before Public Beta?
Is it just me, or does this seem a bit silly?
Even if you ignore the fact this is one of the 2 most anticipated MMO's set for release in 2011 (and i can't help noticing that the article for the main rival game with equally little information has not been marked for deletion), with the public beta due to start on December 3rd at which point i am fairly sure a lot of informaton will become available, scheduling this article for deletion on the 2nd, which is less than 24h beforehand seems rather an odd decision... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slackacoz (talk • contribs) 06:12, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Objecting to proposed deletion
Dear Mike Rosoft,
As your name appears to have nominated this entry for deletion, this is an objection to your nomination.
Under the current rules and guidelines for proposing deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_policies_and_guidelines_to_cite_in_deletion_debates http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion
This entry does not fall into any of those classifications. So, based on your own subjective understanding of the rules, you suggest for this page's deletion. It's true that all of the information currently known and reported on is based on the developers' word. There is a NDA currently binding any third-parties form reporting anything from the developmental build of the product.
There is plenty of information that will become available in 2011. This entry was also correctly tagged as a stub, with the obvious intention that when information was released, this entry would be updated to the standards of a non-stub entry.
If you would like sources other then from the “creators and forum posts”, here are a few outsides references.
Kotaku http://kotaku.com/5693630/get-in-line-for-the-rift-closed-beta
Additionally, these journalists personally attended a press event at the developer's office.
The Journalists were: Peter Nelson from Warcry.com Editor-in-Chief Darryl Gangloff from ZAM Carolyn Koh from MMORPG.Com Troy Goodfellow - Freelance Benjamin J. de la Durantaye - TenTonHammer - Executive Editor
Would you be willing to guess they witnessed the product themselves, yet are bound by a similar NDA. Feel free to Google search the names to find their articles concerning this “unreleased game”. In conclusion, this entry does not break any policy or guideline, is fully capable of being updated to Wikipedia's established standards when possible, and can clearly be referenced from sources other then its creators.

Lifting of NDA and objection to deletion
As the NDA surrounding Rift has now been lifted by Trion Worlds and the beta testing under way (closed beta test 3 completed and the fourth scheduled for 07/01/11) I should anticipate that this article will quickly begin to resemble one that more fully meets all the standards for inclusion. I for one, will be updating as soon as ime allows. I hope any notion of deletion is quickly dispelled. Shooty668 (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Original Research, Neutrality?
"While many games and books borrow from various sources to get their ideas, it is hard to deny that those who came up with the story for this game more than borrowed from the Old School pen and Paper RPG Rifts, by Palladium Publishing. Rifts"
Original research? Citation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.68.52 (talk) 21:46, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Related to the Palladium pen&paper role-playing game?
