Rift |

I got my hands on this game and spent last 2-3 days on it. Pretty awesome tbh, even if I was thinking is just another Aion/Warhammer/younameit failure. However I did not reach last level to see if the game has potential or is dead allready. But considering in Aion & the rest I was mega-borred at level 10, is progress:p
Things:
- has a lot of WoW players and a lot of Aion (actually looks like Aion got halfed after this game appeared)
- had 1 million preorders
- better graphics than WoW (I notice on full quality how my computer is slowed)
- engine... well is not WoW-ish, some people like it, I preffer the smoothnes from WoW
- has allmost everything which is in WoW and other mmos allready (with +-2,3 things)
- v. complex talent trees for each class
- v. nice landscapes and env
- dynamic spawned events(rifts) in the world, where your drop is calculated based on what you do against that event. You can join a public raid/group to defeat the rifts without beeing forced to ask somebody to invite you (which is nice).
- i wont comment on PvP since i'm not skilled:), now the BG waittime is around 20 seconds, but probably because is new
- level & stats matters
- has dungeons, professions, pets, etc etc
- full of WoW drama queens on chat, talking everyday how WoW sucks and they are too elite to play any MMO, how there is no game in the world and Rift is now alpha&omega (deja-vu)
- some pretty neat features, like guild quests (which *by coincidence* WoW release them too in 4.1)), finding artifacts as hidden lootable objects in the most crazy places where you can think of etc
Considering is their first version, I would say is a pretty good game.

Well beats WoW on full graphics no doubt, but you need strong PC for that
Is WoW copy/pasted in rest at features:)
However I dont think I will pay next months. When I stopped playing was allready lack of players. Was hard to find ppl dungeons over level 30 (imagine that on a just launched game where everybody should play in theory to max level).
But if you have money to spare, then sure is acceptable.

yup. its a wow clone totaly with some tweeks. but the game realy should have a dungeon finder. its almost imposible to get ppl for low lvl instances. i have plaied a tank carracter up to lvl 19 until now. and tried to get into the first instance. but that i didnt manage. there are anough ppl on the server but mostly all just run around questing.

I think you need to create an account there.
After you should have a dl link in your account.
And 5 people can use my key and another 5 ppl Aliath's key. So I think are enough for everybody :p

It's not bad, if you ignore the blatant wow cloning.
I'd play more, only I seem to have filled my bags and I can't get rid of anything.
[edit]Ok, fixed that. This game seems to have a certain hostility about it.
