MMO-s have always had the same formula,and there isn't much room left for innovation
WoW hasn't invented anything "new" or brought any new revolutionary ideas,it just took (or like most of u guys like to say copied) aspects of many other MMO-s that came before it(or after it),perfected them and made em it's own.
For example Warhammer online had queuing for scenarios from anywhere at anytime(also getting experience in PvP),Blizz took the idea for queuing for bg-a and added an option for dungeons by upgrading it's LFG tool to create the current LFD tool
Same with Wintergrasp and now Tol Barad,simply copied ideas of keep sieges from WAR and maybe some other MMO-s(not sure if DAoC and Lineage 2 had keep sieges aswell,haven't played 'em myself)
Anyway I'm not saying Blizz or WoW is bad for doing so,kudos to them for taking some1s idea,perfecting it and making it their own,but it's quite annoying when people act like WoW has invented every aspect of modern MMO-s and every1 other MMO is bad and lame for copying WoW ,or being similar to it
On topic tho...
I have been watching Rift for some time now,and I'm not saying it will be good,bad or whatever.
Atm it looks interesting,some few neat concepts,beautiful graphics and character animations,interesting lore(in which creators seem to be putting a lot of effort),plethora of classes with intricate talent trees and character development etc.
So game could go either way,guess we will just have to w8 till it's release and see before passing judgement
