    In my opinion, the game is very boring and not compelling as WoW. But it's your $50.

Before, whenever I saw some RIFT stuff, I said meh and moved on. But looking at RIFT more in detail, I am starting to think it's actually fun. The soul system looks amazing!

    So, in short, should I move on to RIFT from WoW?

    I also have a few questions for you RIFT players.

    1) Is there enough players right now to not make you feel like you're playing alone?
    2) Is there a decent amount of world pvp?
    3) Does it take AGES to get to max level?
    4) How many 'raids' (or whatever they're called in RIFT) are there to do at max level? And are they similar to WoW raids?
    5) How do the controls and UI feel? I've played DAoC and WAR and the controls just don't feel right. Too clunky and unresponsive.

    Thanks

    Edit: Don't start a flame war between WoW and RIFT please.
    if your bored of wow then your bored of mmos , rift isnt the answer . play blackops or summin

    Game is like Vanilla WoW. If you thought Blizzard screwed up when releasing Arenas and balancing around them or hate cross server LFG, then you will like Rift. The content is new and not just recycled. The game is far from dying, so stop listening to the haters.

    People who played WoW for 7 years and then jumped to Rift are magically used to the content. It is called burn out. That is like jumping from a job you hate to a very similar job, then being confused on why you hate it.

    yeah so dead..this was what it looked like during the last event they had



    PvP they need work on, but everyone predicted balancing 32 classes would take some time. People are expecting a new release MMO to have 7 years of content on release date. I call these people insane.

    WoW has something they like to call customer support. It's not quite what I would call good though.
    Wow has been around for more than 6 years now and is still going strong, unlike Rift which has been around for what, 3 months? And is already steadiliy declining into oblivion like many other failed MMos such as lotro, aion etc etc.

    The customer support is your flawed opinion. i've always been treated fast and good by Blizzard's customer support. infact they have some of the best support around, how many other MMO's actually bother wasting manpower on restoring lost items and shit?

    Infact, last week a GM spent more then 30 minutes trying to figure out why i couldnt name my pet owl "Fukurou". in the end he asked permission to higherups to manually rename my pet which he then did.

    Really declining? A game very similar to WoW is declining? So by that comparison WoW is declining to because people are tired of this genre. The game is not declining at all. Not sure why WoW people get so offended when someone mentions Rift.

    I'll let you in on a secret. GW2 and SWToR fans are already declaring those games the WoW killer.

    Gz you bleeding ballsniffer. Linking a "population chart" from during an event is like linking your dps from Halfus Wyrmbreaker.
    SKEWED AS FUCK.

    Another terrible comparison from someone with the intelligence of a spoon. MMO A is doing terrible so MMO B must be doing terrible aswell. Yeah.
    if you dont have anything intelligent to say go stick a finger of your arse and sniff it, i guarantee that it will be more productive than the tripe you're sperging in this thread.

    Very informative Shercock. A list of servers saying "medium population". No server capacity, no actual numbers, nothing.

    Well you say it is declining, so I provide a pic of an event that shows what the servers look like when everyone tries to be online at one time. Me > you

    I fought hard to make people think Rift was completely different and new. But then I hit 50, and after so much annoyances and boredom(i only held on because i made a friend along the way to quest with for the last 10 lvls), and I realised it was the same.....Huge mistake. I'm going to try SW: The Old Republic because I've always loved Star Wars and from the looks of it it looks completely badass!

    Edit: I'm not preaching or saying ToR will be the "WoWkiller," because we already know no MMO can do that. Just sayin I personally was let down by Rift and now i think ToR will be pretty good.

    Well tell that to the Cleric tanking and mage healing while I dps'd in an expert yesterday lol. Talk about something will trip you out. A Cleric was tanking Greenscale in a vid, so homogenization has been thrown out the window.
