I wont be playing rift no more.

It's kinda cool and I enjoyed it for a while but in reality it will die out just like the others did. (Quickly that is..)

Somehow I always fall into the mmo pit and cant help myself to buy the new ones. But its always the same story...

I dont really think Rift is better than wow. Its only different.

Jayden really made me luls tho.

The content updates ARE NOT FREE, you pay a sub.
There WILL BE expansions for this game if it lasts long enough.
You get full epics pretty quickly in this game too if u have a good group. You will need a group.

Once you hit 50 outside of dungeons/raids there is very little to do in Rift and its actually a bit boring.  Same as WoW.  The WF's for level 50 atm are the same few people playing over and over and in reality even when the mewling masses make their way to the level 50 bracket its only going to get worse. Atleast right now you can get some decent games. WHen johhny and his 3 sab rogue buddies show up and completely ignore the scenario's objective in favour of blowing shit up endlessly you're going to realise how tedious WF's really are without no premade system.

Furthermore grinding 24 hours /played of WF's just to get 1 prestige 6 epic is a bit boring considering how awful WF's are unless you play some trololol class spec or find it entertaining to stomp random newbs with your party of friends, especially since getting prestige rank 6 gear wont even be an indicator of plkayer skill in the slightest.



Last i checked it was pushed back like a year and a half so GL with TERA bro,


Meh, I can wait. If it takes that long I can just play D3 until release.

Although, it is still "expected" to come out late 2011. So I doubt it will be THAT far into the future.

I dont know why you think WFs will get worse with more 50s.

Also there hasnt been any kind of work done on the WFs we're still playing 1.0 (as far as WFs are concerned)

I would say give it patience, because yes, we are ahead of the curve. I haven't been bored or run out of things to do though.

If you were looking for WoW with more content, no new mmo will satisfy you, they all come out with about as much content as rift.

Because (at least on my server) the current players are actually quite good. They pay attention to objective and focus healers and cc and so forth. This is mainly because 75% of the guardians are from a guild and on vent together. Makes playing vs them a lot better. When casual player X joins with 100 off sab noobins and they gofragging like its CoD and they want an airstrike it'll be as lame as blizz BG's.

Im not even sure what you're trying to say beyond the fact that the guardians were smart enough to coordinate. (yes I know you aren't bitching.)

What do you mean by this? Sab is op? People join and then suck and then bitch? I'm confused.
