Welcome everyone! We are very excited to be able to open the doors on RiftUI!
I'll go ahead and start. Many of you will know me from our other sites, but for the rest of you: Hi, my name is Cairenn. I am one of the founders and admins on our group of sites. We (myself & Dolby) have been running interface sites for the MMORPG community since 2002. We currently have 6 sites with this being our 7th, covering 8 games. You can find links to our other sites in the footer at the bottom of the page. Before anyone asks - yes I am an honest-to-goodness female. Still somewhat of a rarity in the MMORPG world I know, but there are a few of us around. I've been a fan of Interface "modding" ever since my introduction to it with EverQuest and my enjoyment of the communities that we create for those of like interests has only continued to grow over the years that I've been involved with it. I am the 'face' of the site, taking care of all of the front end requirements on a site like this; taking care of you guys (our authors and users), being the liaison between our sites and the respective game companies, etc. So, enough about me. Allow me to take this moment to give you a brief introduction to the rest of the staff and volunteers. Dolby is the other founder and administrator on the site. He's the one that takes care of all of the coding and such needed to keep the site running smoothly. I'd also like to introduce you to Nobgul and Seebs. They are the first two volunteer moderators for the site. Try not to be too mean to them. Everyone, please do feel free to say "hi" and introduce yourselves.

Hi everyone,
I've been playing Rift since beta and I'm really enjoying it. This is my first actual mmo playing by my self (without my folks) and I'm keen to try everything the game has to offer. My folks got me into wow and lotro before Rift so i know a little about addons. I would like to try and learn how to develop addons so I'm going to have lots of questions for sure Cairenn, I'm also an honest-to-goodness female, just not an adult one yet Lunacat. |

Greetings!
Maybe with the launch with the RiftUI website, I might go buy the game...(ponder). Hard to resist modding... |

Hi.
I've been playing WoW for several years, wrote my own addons, maintained briefly addon written by another. I use several nicknames; my WoW one is (was) "Zhiva". Cairenn, I'm a woman too. On "rarity" of female MMO players: it's estimated that about 40% of WoW subscribers are women. |

Hi! I'm very excited to be here and can't wait to see what the future holds in store for this community! I have only a little experience in software development, but I'm going to dive right into Rift addon development and not come up for air until I'm satisfied!
Thanks a bunch to Dolby and all the staff! |

Hi,
I am Sas, I have spent years playing WoW ( 6 years ). When Rift came out, several of my real life friends switched to it. Naturally I switched as well. From the beginning the biggest turn off for me was the lack of AddOns. AddOns: In WoW I have never written my own code, however I have spent hundreds of hours modifying others code. I am very picky when it comes to my UI. My signature shows the AddOn UI I kept going the longest. Programming Knowledge: I have 3 years of C++ college credit. LUA to me works alot like C++, some things were easy to figure others not so much. Hopefully, with Rift I will be able to learn even more about LUA, and maybe even begin to write my own AddOns vs just modifying. ~Sas |

I had some issues getting my Zam premium recognized too, I realized later that I was just doing it bass-ackwards, and got it worked out

Welcome to the site daisydu72. Hopefully you'll get some additional enjoyment of the game thanks to the work of the authors here that will be creating addons for the game.
