not like guildwars, i play guildwars once a year.
game is more like Warhammer Online mixed with Dark Age of Camelot with some things from WoW The UI looks very WoW but the detailed landscaping and style of architecture looks very GW. I wouldn't say it looks just like GW though although to be completely honest I always loved GW's game play and would be perfectly fine with a massive format of it. Although this game does look interesting. WoW stole ui from daoc and made it shiny

I have played Rift since beta 5 and I really love this game.
(If you play dancer mainly on FFXI, you'll love Bard/Riftstalker/BladeDancer with the focus being in Bard and then putting other points in RS and have BD just for side steps(your oh ***ability))
This game just really takes the "waiting" out of many MMOs. You are never ever ever ever standing thinking, "What to do... what to do..." because quite frankly if you stand around too long, an invasion will slap you up side the head lol.
Seriously this game is awesome. The dungeon bosses are sooo HARD but SO FUN!
True Story: We were doing the final boss in the dungeon in Scarlet Gorge. It took our 5 man group respec ourselves 10 times before we got down to defeating the final boss. You can't just blindly go into fights and win(looking at you WoW). You actually have to coordinate with your party members and pay attention. God, it got my blood pumping.
Awesome game is awesome!
Go ahead and pre-order it! You won't be let down I promise!
only draw back though is the character customization leaves you wanting more...

Aelfwar invasions suck balls. I've never seen a successful crusade. :\ Defiant side won every time though. Imbalance is gonna suck if they don't implement countermeasures.

Another great example of their customer support. The bit about Void Knight, mainly: a patch a day or two ago caused the Void Knight to become TOTALLY *** rapeface. It was seriously broken. Glad to see thta they issued a hotfix quickly instead of letting it wait.

One of the bosses is a giant Big-O Tree. It doesn't get much cooler than that.

Meh, the major invasion bosses are all cool looking to me. Dungeon bosses are hit or miss, but we can't access ANY of the dungeons that matter in beta, so I'm reserving judgment on that.

Here is me!! Sorry big pic, so its cut off a bit but you can right click and view image to see full
Let me start off by saying that I love FFXI and I used to love WoW back in the day. The only MMO to hold me since release has been FFXI, though.
That being said, I have also played Rift in the beta. So to get it out of the way right off the bat, YES rift is basically a WoW clone. HOWEVER, there are some differences. Most notably, the class system. This is something that seems to be very interesting... you choose an archetype, and can choose between any of the classes within that archetype. Look it up if you want more info, while it doesn't give as much freedom as FFXI's job system (which is the best to date of any MMO), it does come close.
Basically, Rift is WoW for those burnt out on WoW. It has great graphics, a new class system, and a lot of polish.
All of that aside, I'm curious as to who else here is at least interested in it. I've already pre-ordered it off Steam, has anyone else?
