Oh wait....
See? You started exactly what I didn't want. I don't promote Rift - I have no desire to play it. However when you start tossing around your opinion like its fact you get a thread completely off topic, and it turns into a 'this is good' but 'this is better'! Lets not go there.
From what he wrote it seems like hes looking for a single-player game not so much an MMO. Lets talk about those.
If you are playing WoW on regular basis (raiding once or twice a week) Rift is not the alternate game to play, its to similiar and will make you go tired of both games even quicker. DC universe is different and fun if you have looked into it.
