Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?

Only played the game once, I uninstalled it as soon as I began playing because I didn't know what the hell was going on. What is it about exactly?

Watching intro cinematic is hard...
When googling 4 letters is asking too much fact-checking.

Rift is a bimodal 2nd era MMORPG. Originally Posted by TheramoreIsTheBomb

The player character is brought back from the dead via divine magic (Guardian faction) or technology (Defiant faction), called an Ascended. Ascended can uniquely channel the souls of the heroes from the past that defeated the elemental beings (dragons) when the planet was first attacked.
Through various plots and schemes alliances are formed, broken and the usual fantasy stuff that should pose no mystery or confusion to any player. Eventually the Ascended become so powerful they take the fight to the home turf of the elemental beings (dragons) and shenanigans ensue.
