Rift has been through so many updates and added a lot of good stuff. I do like it more now. However, it is still not the game for me. Although Trion still has not changed what killed the game for me personally, everything else is worth the try for other people. I hope a next expansion comes with a world changing event so every race will disperse and start in different (and new) starting areas with their own different storylines. Thus adding additional leveling areas from lvl 1 to cap to not force every character you make to go through the exact same quests in the exact same quest hubs in the exact same order. Starting all together, therefore having only 1 leveling path for all characters is what killed the game for me. I am a casual so i enjoy the character progression through the world (with every race) more than i do end game content.
As i said, aside from that, the game is good and worth the try, but i am staying away because of this, and will always keep an eye on it to see if that is ever changed then i will come back.
Rif is not worth my money. They got enough of it and I was ultimately unsatisfied. I respect Trion as they seem like a decent company. But their world is bland and their races/factions even blander. Playing an elf just felt like a different version of the human model, etc. Not real sense of being a different race.
I was really not impressed with Rift at all. The game was polished though, I wil give it that. I do think the company and developers for Trion are talented, they just need to make a more in depth game.

curious as to what you mean be in depth. because the game is probably one of the most involved themeparks you can pick from right now.

The only involved themepark really.

Originally posted by remyburke I love a lot about Rift, and played it for about 4 months, which in this day and age isn't bad for me. That being said, the macro combat and mind-numbing quest hub grinding has taken its toll...well for me at least. If this is your jam however, than rock and roll.
I would add the combat animations are no where near as responsive and as fluid as WoW but other then that my sentiments exactly.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
