This game is the saddest excuse for a "Next-Gen" MMO i've ever seen. In fact, Trion should be sued for false advertisement for even daring to market this thing as Next-Gen. It is about as next-gen as putting wheels on a Bike.

There is nothing going for this game. It's as generic as generic can possibly be. One might argue and say "But they have Rifts!"... right. A spot on the map where a bunch of monsters get spammed out of. Gee, I wonder how many seconds that took to think up and implement.

The combat system is just your generic button mashing.... graphics are mediocre at best.... At the end of the day it's nothing more than a bad version of WoW.

Save your money for something like Guild Wars 2... stay away.

No, it's the most stupid tool ever developed.

Only 1 german PvE Server is kinda meh. Every PvE-interested headstarter will start there. And because the headstart goes 1 week, no one wants to change the server when the game is going live. And headstarters usually have friends, which will follow to their server. That server will have a long login queue...

Not bashing on the OP here, just adding something to my previous post:

 

The Bahmi are Djinn! I've been trying to place their influence for a while, but I'm fairly sure that's where it came from - at least the fantasy representation of a Jinn/Djinn/Genie.

 

See the family resemblance?

Haha pretty funny :)

This makes me angry, the dungeon finder is just a stupid, MMO destroying idea. I don't want this in Rift! :(

You can't compare this with real life, since gods in Rift really exist. So it's now matter of believing or not. Of course you believe in something, that is there. But the Defiants don't listen to the gods and act against their dogmata.

There a professions like armor smith, weapon smith, tailor, harvester, miner, etc. You can choose 3.

There is PvP-gear, you buy it with PvP-currency.

You can enter the first warfront with lvl 10, every 10 lvl more another become available

I prefer this one as it's factual, not dependent on the latest patch, and unopionated.

Only 3 support Souls, that sucks. I like the tetrahedron like in EQ2, consisting of tank, healer, supporter and damager.

The first thing you see of the Defiants after obtaining control over your char is, how they kill a Guardian and steal his soul. I'd call this evil :P

Don't choose because of your prefered faction, which city do you like more? I'm actually playing Guardian, but I like Meridian way more, mainly because the Freemark is more beautiful :)

What about you?

I already preordered Rift, but no housing was always a big letdown for me
