WoW people: Please realize how much irony and stupidity you display when you claim that RIFT is a wow clone. Have you ever heard of Everquest (once claimed to be an EQ clone)? The EXACT same claims were made when WoW came out and EQ was the leader of the market. Also, realize that Everquest didn't die, so WoW was never a "killer", nor will RIFT "kill" wow. Please get over yourself and your addiction to a video game.
RIFT is a quality game, and you can't make a claim about anything in RIFT until you have played it for a few hours. If you don't like it, that's fine.
Same goes for RIFT people. If you don't like WoW and are tired of doing the same thing...why are you still playing it? Don't bash WoW, it's a sweet game!
If I didn't have friends playing WoW I'd probably play RIFT (if I could only play one) but that's just my opinion. I still think WoW is a great game and think Blizzard puts out a good product. I find it strange how everyone takes an opinion so serious. Why do you take an opposing opinion so personal? If you get that offended about a video game, stop playing it and get in touch with life which is much better than any game. Stop acting like children trying to defend their favorite ice cream flavor on the playground.
Both games are great. Enough said.
