Nope, it is not. I played Lotro for couple of years and been in Rift betas. So far I like Rift much more because Lotro was/is 100% static and repetitive - no unique mobs, loot whatsoever.

played 3 hours of the game. From a brand new IP stand point, this game came at a bad time. The way contents are structured; such as a movement of questing and mob killing are all taken from another game, not a bad thing just that you can't reinvente the deal.

Questing is very typical and well explained comparing to free to play asian mmos. Visually the game is stunning! However I think it takes too much away from the character you are playing. Player animation felt very generic and uninteresting (definitely took queues from other mmo)

Skill and talent tree is overwhelmingly big and unecessary this is one of those games that will end up with 40+ abilities that you will use all of them,

Great story!  Love the game and the lore so this really is good work!

 

 I wish they actually had more of this lore in game itself and less "wow-like" quests for accelerated sprint-like leveling-questing so that you can hit the level cap and go grind raids...

 Wow you kidding right? RIFT actually consists of the same type of quests as wow - go there kill 100 mobs come back and is very heavy on raiding similar to WoW. They even have interface parts in RIFT related to raids. it already shows how much raid-friendly is RIFT.

I've been in 2 betas of RIFT and I got sick on the second stage and didn't play very much first stage either. Because RIFT reminds me so much of WoW its just silly... LOTRO has books, festivals, the whole world feels different than RIFT or WoW. Rift is just an improved WoW-clone nothing else, and having '"RIFTS"' in the game doesn't make it so much different from WoW.

Also LOTRO was never about loot. LOTRO focus was Story in the beginning, then they switch to stupid radiance gear and it became radiance focused game. Now they are removing radiance again so game is going back to focused on story. All the best loot before radiance times was from quests in LOTRO, and most of them from epic BOOKS and those books were all about following the path of fellowship of the ring. LOTRO is about LOTR, WoW and RIFT are about LOOT.

Wow. And you say Rift doesn't have festivals and everything? You must be a bit .....dumb? This was just testing the game mechanics and stress testing. You really think everything will be ''ZOMG OMG AWESOME'' from the beginning? I think Rift is great, but that post was a bit too much negative to swallow. Saying it's a copy of WoW? Bullshit.
