Dude, this game was one of the first to support HMD? It's been capable since the first Rift dev head kit.

This is just an update to support the consumer model. Wonder if they got the drift sorted though...

Support for the Oculus Rift has been enabled since July of 2013 (we were apparently the first MMO to release native support into their production game). This is an update to our existing support, to handle their new "commercial" SDK with devices now shipping to end-users.

VR with Vendetta Online is still considered a "prototype": it works pretty well, but we're still changing a lot of User Interface and tutorial mechanics. We're also still making the engine faster and tweaking the VR graphics.

We do not have public support for the HTC Vive yet, or the Gear VR. Those will be released at more of a "final" stage, as opposed to the public-prototype of the Rift implementation.

Drift hasn't been a problem since the DK2, with its positional camera. Good positional tracking basically eliminates that, because you're getting some degree of orientation data from another source.
