I stopped playing before the game even went retail. So incredibly boring.
I only played beta and haven't been following it.
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
The premise lost my interest. A bunch of people stuffed into one body or whatever. Sounded needlessly complicated. Since it's an MMO and way behind in the line of ones I want to try, I don't really care if I'm wrong.

GW is dominating the f2p MMo market, while rift is trying to compete in the completely stuck subscription MMO market.
GW's involvement in this particular topic is very small (not completely irrelevant though)
1) gw is not an mmo, so it isn't in the 'f2p mmo' market
2) gw has only ever been the game released and considered alongside wow 'seriously'... i.e. arena-net and blizzard
3) seeing as this thread is really just an excuse to brag a shit game up with 'wow killer spiel', i figured i'd mention gw2, which will be
4) an actual mmo, as opposed to gw1 which is entirely different in gameplay and model

oic
Im not really up to date with this but isnt EQ(2) still a good competator?
I also havent really been paying attention to GW2, but i'm assuming it wont be a WoW killer, but a very good alternative and competetion like GW1

the only worthy competitor, really
eq2 is one of those 'old style' MMO's that are still popular with the diehard 'hardcore' mmo nuts... which make up about 5% of the total community
still basically has that 'korean grind' feel to it, and the aesthetics are shit

i won the GW trilogy a few days ago. I already had nightfall , but never got to finishing it.
Might have to play more of em i guess, given their reputation as WoW's only competator.

They bored me.
Rift now has the Ascend-A-Friend program. It's a free 7-day trial.

And WoW marches on. Rift keeps it up with advertising, though.
okey, so im playing the trial now.
So far the quests are simple chores, but thats the same wth WoW at the start.
Graphocs are obviously a lot better, but the terrain feels a bit bland and empty.
But im only lvl 5 so its not like i can really give it a proper review and comparison to WoW.

It still gets bland and empty later on in my beta experience. Do all the basic abilities still cost the same despite some being better than others? Always found that annoying that the usual abilities had same fricken cost.

Oh sorry, thought this was the (R.I.F.T. = Rabie Infested Futas of Tennessee)... thread.
My bad,...
I was never here.
Nothing to see...
tee hee...get along now.

All the basic abilities generally work with something later in that particular tree. At first one might seem better than another but depending on what combination of souls you have set up it could turn out differently. You really cant get a feel for the diversity of the soul combinations until you are a high level which is a problem because it makes the beginning of the game quite boring. I havent played since the first couple of months because it was just another themepark 12345 mmo but if you like that style of mmo then it is pretty good. The factions are also not evil vs good for a change.War Man wrote:

Depends on your perspective of the factions, whether you view each of them as bad or good.
Edit: Anyway in my beta experience, I found an awesome DPS-Tank hybrid combo. Invested 4 points in Riftblade, 6 in voidknight, and 30 in Paladin. God that combo kicked ass. Did so much damage with just the flamespear of the riftblade and pact discharge of the void knight where I ended up killing a guys getting constantly healed to the point where he normally wouldn't die unless you had a group of guys attack him. Plus some of the stun and tank abilities of the Paladin were nice, the instant full health ability of the Paladin really was handy. I never got to revive a person though .
Although I heard they did nerfing of the riftblade.

Yeh they nerfed Riftblade because flamespear was aoe, high damage and ranged (on a heavy armour 'class'). When I stopped playing warriors were still overall the strongest class because rogues did not do much more DPS and had substantially less health and armour. For the huge variety of builds possible it was fairly well balanced.
Played it a bit yesterday
It's identical to WoW, but in every way it's the same, it's worse.

Thats the fate of every new MMO until WoW dies.
Something new and refreshing wont draw as many people to it, because theyre not familiar with it or it doesnt appeal to everyone.
And if they do the same old shit (like WoW) they will fail because they wont do it better or even the same as WoW.

If WoW never existed and you would divide all those players over 10 other MMOs, this one could very well be one of those 10, but since WoW does exists, this game will just dissapear into an empty nothingness where it will die with the rest of the post-WoW MMOs.
Pretty much. Impossible for a new game to compare to a game with so much content and established playerbase.
If anything is taken from RIFT I hope it is the soul mechanic and some variation of the rift system.

I guess it's just not going to be possible to find an MMO to pass the time with until Guild Wars 2 is released.
