I guess therte is something wrong with me, I love Rift and have been playing since early start.  Just re-subbed for 6 months.

 

IMHO it;s the best mmorpg on the market hands down right now.

 

 

Well, maybe it is..for you. 

It has tons of subscribers, so there are people who find it entertaining and a worthy place to spend their spare time and cash for a sub.  Even WoW has millions of subs.  Heck, even Runescape has a very good playerbase.   Every game caters to those that find it attractive.

 

I kind of look at it as a turd.  Even flies like a turd, but at the end of the day it is what it is.

 the problem is people are always looking for the next best turd, or comparing it to the last best turd, for the fuk of it all...find a turd right for you and call it your own...because at the end of the day we are ALL flies looking for a turd and where you land that is YOUR turd.

When it came to LOTRO everything had to be read when it came to quest (I never made it passed 20 so my knowlege is limited) While in TOR you have a Bioware story telling excperiance.

 

I have yet to beat Morrowind because of the lack of VO when compared to Oblivion. AOC was concidered a fun game until level 20 when the VO stopped and a lot of people quit.

No. The book quests always had cut scenes you could watch and most skipped them.

Did you get to make choices that effected your character in the long run? Or beyond the Accept/Cancle optoins?

I hope your game is everything you hope it to be. But I doubt it.

So no I take it?

 

In LOTRO/AOC there was no reason to watch the cut scenes unlinke TOR and GW2

Everyone knows what the TOR talking points are. My point stands, if people dont have the patience to watch a cutscene why do you think they will sit around and listen to an NPC talk, then click, and listen to more talk?  Most people want to play a the game, not listen to NPC's talk. No reason to watch the cutscenes in LOTRO/AOC? Isnt that the "story"  part of a game that EA is counting on to draw subs?

If what you're saying is true then people would never buy games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age  and I would throw Half Life into the mix. I think people don't pay attention to the story in an MMO because it has yet to be presented in a fun and engaging way, and instead what we get is a cut scene here and there, not an engaging story if you ask me.

 

There is no reason to lesson the VO in AOC but everyone I talked to who played the game said it was a welcomed feature while it lasted.

Yep, BW has fans. How many WOW players find story driven games appealing I wonder? How many MMO players actually pay attention to story? Or are they there to interact with others? TOR has been said to be the game that takes millions of subs from WOW, I just dont see it. Ive played WOW and have seen the community first hand for quite a few years. I think there will be people who enjoy the type of MMO to come out of BW but I dont think its the majority of MMO gamers.

I believe many MMO players would listen to story if it was presented in a fun and engaging way. WoW only makes up a small fraction of the MMO playerbase so to judge anything by its community isn't wise. 

Considering the general consensus among TOR fans is that it will  will take a huge portion of  the WOW playerbase I think my comments were appropriate.  Here is a "pie" graph  that shows just how much of the MMO playerbase WOW has and its not fraction by any means Its from three years ago but......http://www.mmogchart.com/Chart7.html 

 

 if they have part and another company has a part it has to be a fraction of some type....

RIFT IS AWESOME, IT IS EQ2 AND WOW COMBINED TO MAKE ITS OWN FORM...BEST MMO EVERRRRR!!!!!!!!

RIFT HAS ALL THAT AND MORE!!!

AWESOME FRIKKING GAME, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIFT!!!!! IT ROCKS

Rift is freaking awesome...and thats the bottom line, the dev team works on bugs fairly fast, and the content and live events just keep coming, THANK YOU RIFT FOR RENEWING MY LOST HOPE FOR MMORPG'S.

I love Rifts armor and weapons, as well as the general overall graffix, very pleasing to the eye, also the storyline is great as it leaves the ending open for great innovative ideas and expansions for the future. Sorry I have come to love this game, it has been a long time since an mmo has pulled me in like Rift does.

earth and beyond was my first mmo, I miss it so much, there are servers for it that people made but it just isnt the same, I soo miss you .

Aion's a good game, atleast compared to Rift. Still not sure about the crafting difficulty, but I'm coming to agree with it. Haven't played in a while cause of latency issues when it launched, but it seems a lot like DAoC style PvP, which is definitely a good thing.

  I think over 2 mil American subs would disagree.

Current subs? You're dreaming.

 I have played aion, and am now playing rift, rift is packed with people and is by far a much funner game

LOVE IT!!!

HELL YEAH!!! GO RIFT!!!, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MMO'S OF THE FANTASY GENRE I HAVE PLAYED IN AWHILE, GREAT UPDATES, COOL CONTENT, A LARGE EXPANSIVE WORLD, AN EVER EVOLVING OPEN ENDED STORYLINE, PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP A MOSTLY GREAT COMMUNITY, AND IT ISNT TOO REPLICATED FROM WOW. I AM HOOKED!!!

Temporary battle cloak?? Starwars was never a forgiving universe, aside from the movies there are also books in which chewy gets blown to bits, and the yhuuzon Vong decimate anything, sigh...battle cloak is the begining of the watering down, sounds like they have become an easy version of what SWG was, everything I have heard and seen about this game SWG has already implemented in some form, raids, vehichles, companions and story archs ect..ect..

AWESOME FRIKKING GAME, I AM HOOKED, THATS ALL I GOTTA SAY.

your welcome man, always happy to have other eq2 gamers to play with in other mmo's, it gives a common ground to talk on within a new game lol.
