The next beta event can't come fast enough!
This sucks... I wanna play some more rift. Luckily I still have a Hunter to level in Lotro but damn it... I'm going to miss that chaos. Rifts and invasions dropping on you, killing all your quest NPCs, banding together with people just to keep mobs from ganking your ass while you travel along a road! Damn it.

Awesome post, enjoyed the read.
To the OP, yeah it does add some spice to the standard gameplay.
Dude you power leveled to 27 in under a day. Obviously if you avoid everything and just play "let's race to cap" your going to be bored. Shit... You probably completely avoided rifts, invasions, Warfronts, dungeons and crafting just too see a 27 in your characters portrait... Gl in your next game.Playing: Rift, LotRO

I agree. Most of the negative things I read about this game are either outright lies or someone had their hopes way to high.
The simple fact is it is fun and well made. It does NOT remake the MMO industry. But if you are looking for a new MMO with a few twists keep your eye on this.

It's a fun game. That's all it needs to be. My fellow old school players that can't seem to have fun with a game unless it's dripping with innovation need to leave the genre already. Why stick with a genre if your miserable? It's obvious noone will cater to you. Get the hint and go.Playing: Rift, LotRO

He probably didnt get into the beta or his machine wasnt good enough to run it is my guess. Anyway I agree with the OP I am looking forward to getting my hands on future beta events.
Here is to hoping they have the rift system jacked up high like this when the game goes live. It is a heck of a lot of fun.
I agree. Though Rift may not appeal to many that take a fleeting glance, it 'is' probably the most content complete, fresh, dynamic, chaotic, community game-play centric, polished and all-encompassing traditional-style pvevp fantasy mmorpg that will come to the market.
I personally dont know what my mid to long-term standing or stick-to-it-ness will be, but am comfortable that I will get my entertainment dollar for time out of it from my pre-order.
Yes, I got bored. Bored of the dullness and repetitiveness. Been there, done that.
All I'm seeing a lot of misplaced excitement, simply because the game is new. The gameplay however, is not new (Not that they said the game would innovative. Thats for sure). I like the whole concept of the rifts though, but its not enough to once again make me pay 50 bucks.
I wonder how many of you keep saying these things about mediocre games, only to be dissapointed after a while and move on to the next "hit" and saying the same
.
Power leveling is not needed in this game. It's just retarded easy to level. I did both of the dungeons. Nothing special there. How do you avoid a zone wide event ? But no a helped stop every rift that opened in my area, unless i opened it. Wich i did that at least 12 times. War fronts where boring as far as other battlegrounds i have done in other mmo's. Nothing new nothing exciting, just the same idea yacked up again in another no thought needed MMO. Bout the only thing your right on isthe no crafting, but when there really is no need for it other then to be a time sink , can you blame me.
Look i know you fan boys have a hard time hearing people like me tell the truth about a game you want to hype. But sorry, this game is boring. There is nothing new here, there is nothing ground breaking ,there is nothing even remotely exciting about this game. It's not my fault they claim to be the "next generation mmo" and then deliver the same idea every other mmo has be made from. You don't want to see people like me "bash" this weak sauce game, then tell them to stop making games for little kids and casual players. i didn't set my expectations of this game. They did. and they failed to deliver.
About the only thing you can say about this game is it's "polished" , wow. you mean someone actually waited to do beta testing when the game was actually almost ready for beta testing ? Imagine that.
You people really should expect and demand more from these game makers. Instead of kissing their ass because they "tired". Try for free, but if you want my money you better bring your a game and give me something worth paying for.
Have fun with your wow / warhammer clone kids.
instead of attacking your post i will ask you something. What MMO do you play right now?

What exactly do you look for in an MMO then?
I'm sorry to burst your bubble here, but nowhere was the op "hyping" the game. He was only very enthousistically telling us he anticipates the new phase.
We get it, you don't like the game. No need to troll someone who does.
I haven't seen many games where the feedback were that positive. After few games like AoC, WAR, Aion, FFXIV... Sure I read few negative posts here and there; The biggest complain being "nothing new" (which in my mind sounds burned out-ish).
Even some posters who used to have negative feedbacks during the first beta events are changing their mind...
The only fanboi I see here is you. Judging by your response you haven't actually played it, so have fun with your EverQuest clone.
Oh i don't know. Let's go with a challenge. Some thing that you might have to put some real effort in to. Um lets also go with something that might also require a certain amount of skill to accomplish. Not just another " zerg fest 2011." But most important, i am looking for a new mmo that actually moves this genre forward. Not just repeat's the same ideas with a new skin on it. Darkfall probably had the best potential for this, but failed in the delivery.
There's and Everquest clone ? Really !?!? Where ?!?!?
I just don't get the, "I don't like this game, so I am gonna hang out and be bitter"....Yeah, I know, it's to 'save' people from trying it.
All this mighty talk of new and fresh, and old school....Yet you subscribed to WoW...So I think you gave up the right to bash a game that bashers say is 'wow-like'...Like you are above playing a game like that.
It's not my ideal game, I try a lot of betas, I give feedback if its early enough in design that what I give feedback in might change....If not, I move on...
I haven't decided on Rift, but if I don't play it, you won't catch me in here crying like a Rift crapped on my floor.
Best overall mmorpg since wow vanilla.
Its a Beta but its 100 times more ready to release then any mmo out for the last 6 years
Vanguard, even started by the ones who created EQ.
No played Vanguard also . Was nothing like EQ. Could of been great though.
i normally wait till the game is fully released to give it a try...but after hearing about how fun the beta is i really wish i had registered.
For Vanguard being nothing like EQ, its funny how many from EQ made Vanguard.

Don't matter how many of the same people made it. It was nothing like EQ. Maybe they spent all their talent on EQ and thats why Vanguard flopped so bad ?
Last I checked "talent" points were a RPG thing, has nothing to do in real life.
I loved VG, the lack of money/time being put into it helped finish killing it....They kept promising a 're-release', but it never happend.
PvP server died when they openly announced they would stop supporting/focusing on pvp and only do PvE...Left when it became a ghost town.
Wish someone could buy it, fix it up, and relaunch it.
