That's seriously tempting me. I mean I've played Rift before (I have a level 50 Cleric in expert dungeon/plaque gear and a 50 Warrior in like some dungeon gear) but WoW has always felt more "familiar" to me and all of my friends play it. Everything I've seen though really makes Trion impress me - it's like they understand what makes a good expansion and can do it without making things boring. Just paying for SL is a bit much (right now) if I'm not sure I'll like it - I've been waiting until I get more information to make an informed decision while I play MoP, but MoP has quickly worn out its welcome with loads of boring dailies.
Thanks I might have to suck it up and get it once I get paid from my new job.
