You already hit Rift 50. Move on bro. Expand your XP. Go and play WOW - GW2 - The Elder Scroll Online - Firefall - Archeage. Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language :) |

Originally posted by Sinaku It is the top MMO because when it came out, the devos did a better job than EQ did (WoW "copied" its basic architecture from EQ). Everyone flocked to WoW, it became a phenom for 5 years. Now look at the genre,. People clamor for better PVP content, more PVE content, DIFFERENT PVE CONTENT... Blizzard is FINALLY getting to it with Scenarios and from the looks of it, it fails. Scenarios do not cause you to break a sweat or think. Boring stuff really. Not saying that Trion provides content that is uber more challanging, but they provide more systems and things for you to do at end game, when you hit max level. Instant adventures and chronicles alone plunge you past the run of the mill endgame BS that WoW shovels. People, at least the people i know, play wow for nostalgia. They are narrowminded and too stubborn to see what else is out there. They are afraid if they drop WoW for a month, try Tera for the combat, try GW2 for the leveling experience, try Rift for the dynamic world...they are afraid they will realize that these devos are doing something right and what is Blizzard doing for them? When people suggest things, state things wrong with the game, complain... Blizzard says "We disagree, we think this..." Trion and others say "We've heard you and as a result we are implimenting XYZ system into our game in an upcoming patch".
Big difference right there.

Not caring much about PVP but addressing the other few points: -Leveling in Rift is better because you do your boring quests as in WoW, but also close Rifts(dynamically forming anywhere in game), and participating in invasions in any zone in the game. Those two things provide more content and diversity than WoW can ever hope for. -Fun with addons...please dont tell me you need an addon to have fun. -Dungeons may be more "advanced"...not at lower level thats for sure. Want an advanced dungeon? Run Golden Labyrenth in Tera. Thats a fun one. -High activity....doubt it. People solo quest. Noone does group quests cause there are NONE> They removed them. There are more group quests in SWTOR, Rift, Tera. Not to mention, GW2 semi forces group content via dynamic events.

having played both (wow for aboutr 5 years and rift for about 9 to 12 months) i'd say this.
wow if the vibrance of your surroundings is important to you... unless you're into steampunk in which i woujld give rift the nod.
rift if you're a fan of tinkering with your "build"
wow if humor and lightheartedness is something you enjoy in your games
rift if supporting a company who "does it the right way" (IE trion) is important to you
either if you enjoy raids
wow if you want to steam roll thru the earlier levels to get to the maxlevel stuff, rift if you want to take it slower.
neither if you want a house for your character (play eq2 for that or LOTR ^^)
wow if going through the same early zones on alts bothers you
rift if you want to be aBle to play "nonstandard" archtypes, such as a tank rogue or ranged DD cleric. RIP Ribbitribbitt you are missed, kid. Currently Playing EVE, POTBS Recommendation of a game you probably haven't tried: POTBS, Atlantica, L2 |

Rift has some unique features WoW doesn't have such as public quests, multiclass talent trees, and solo and duo raids, but the real meat and potatos of the game (questing, 5-mans, and raiding) are done better in WoW I think. Expand your MMORPG horizons and give WoW an honest look. Pound for pound, WoW may not be unable to compete with Rift graphically; however, Azeroth feels like a living, breathing world and Rift can't quite match WoW's art direction zone-by-zone. |

Originally posted by Dobah Why not just try the starter game for wow first 20 lvls free then make a better informed choice. You ask question here all the answer you get are from lover and haters of each game claiming thier game is better, maybe just make your own mind up. |

As many have said, do the WoW trial. Try out the different classes to level 20 for free. If you can get over the horrible graphics for this day and age, you might enjoy it. Nothing lost and if you don't like it you can resub to Rift.   |

Despite it not being my cupt of tea, WoW is still a well built game, I would strongly recommend it if you have not played it... It can also help with perspective later on, and comparisons... etc.. |

Originally posted by GeezerGamer I wouldn't call it food, however, Rift is a subcategory of WoW... sadly. :( It's worse than WoW food, if it could be called that. |

I play MMOs for 10 years now and I tried bunch of them. I could find something good in every single mmo i have played except in RIFT. Its the worst piece of crap I have ever played. Plastic, soulless and frigid. It is like the developers did not invest the love in it. Its like a nice looking apple without a taste. The worst lore ever ( Farmville has a better lore). Quests are bad. World is plastic and unimaginative prison. |

don't go to Wow if you like to pvp while you level. rift is far superior in that dept. wow has let their sub-max level pvp balance go for too many years and its one of the worste games for that now. pve though it can't be beat if you're into that sort of thing. |

Originally posted by kostoslav Its kind of funny, but it seems that RIft really attracted the post wow crowd and the pre wow crowd hated it......It jsut felt like they took pieces of about 4 MMOs and pasted and copied the entire game....People that think Rifts are unique and not in any other MMO obviously never played Warhammer (which is where many of the RIft devs came from btw)...... |

For someone that isn't burnt out on wow or gear grind themeparks then i'd say wow is the best mmo you can play, burnt out on both though but it was a good 4 or so years, can't deny that. |

Originally posted by GeezerGamer Like Rift isent the same way. If WoW is McDonalds then Rift is Arby's. I call Rift arby"s because they ARE a fastfood chain but with a limited menu most of which youll never try lol. |
