Graphics are amazing and do not look cartoony like World of Warcrafts does. Required minimum specs is only 2.0 ghz Duel Core,if you don’t have that then you are probably still on dial-up.
Class and role variety choices are much more than WoW and you aren’t forced into one role.
While WoW lets you duel spec Rift lets you Quad spec.
Rift has more quests and I mean massive quests.You complete a bunch then more open up in same area it is almost overwhelming with the amount of them.

But it was ok. Still better than many other options.

The characters are not that interesting. Over all it imparted me a boring session.

RIFT won’t kill off WoW. People still play UO and EQ, so of course WoW will survive. However, there are a lot of people who are tired of WoW and Blizzard. There are a lot of people who are really happy, and relieved, to find a game fun enough and complete enough to let them leave WoW behind. Practically my entire guild is quitting WoW, gleefully, to play RIFT.

And anyone who says something in RIFT doesn’t look impressive didn’t bother to pay attention to the details. The creators of RIFT did however, because the textures on everything are highly detailed. The saddles on the mounts have stitching along the seams even. No lack of detail there.

RIFT is releasing at a great time. A lot of players are disillusioned with Cataclysm. SWTOR isn’t out yet. It’s the best looking MMO to release in a long time. Of course it won’t topple any of the games still out there, but it will quickly build a solid player base and be around for a long time as long as Trion provides quality customer support and keeps the end game content fresh.

Nah, I still think World of Warcraft will be the thing to beat. I though Earthrise had a good chance of at least matching it, but no, not AS good as WoW. The only upcoming MMO that can beat WoW is The Old Republic.

Played through a few betas. Nothing really innovative about it. I really think the characters are bland/boring. Weapons and armor don’t look too impressive either. Combat seems slow. Class system has it’s pros and cons. I won’t be leaving WoW for it and highly doubt it will even be close to the number of subscribers.

Played beta. Also a 4 year WoW player. Rift will not even come close to what this article claims can happen. It’s like this…you can go down to McDonalds and grab a cheese burger…or you can go to Red Robin and get a real, gourmet burger.

There just really isn’t much competition. Rift looks like it can be a great game. They did their homework. But they are still just another franchise trying to start playing a game in the 4th quarter while the other team leads by more points than can be scored in that last quarter.

In reply to aquaman22.

Rift won’t ‘take down’ WoW. This isn’t my opinion, it’s just not reasonable to assume the millions of subscribers are all going to say “RIFT OMG /quit WoW!!” That’s like saying “Oh man this new flavor of Mountain Dew is going to take out the original flavor. It’ll be done!” Not gonna happen.
