Now THAT is the hype I've come to expect from a game that's more than a year away from actual release. :-)
That said, it looks pretty cool.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Less than a year? I believe it's less than 3 months before launch!

BAh... look not so amazing IMO... i am still waiting for the MMO where a combat llok like a combat... not only toon hitting some air in front of the actual enemy (like wow and all other MMO) " yeah lets swing 10 feet in front of the enemy and watch it bend once in a while) make me wanna puke
I think Tera will change that with its new combat mechanism
This looks sweet, no matter what game you are waiting for.
I loved this trailer. It told me alot. Liked some of the gear and mounts.. Besides the shittey gorilla <.<
Playing: AoC
Played: WoW, GW, DF, VG, Runescape, LoTRO, AoC
That was pretty cool, shows a lot of things we haven't seen before.
Definately hyped up for this now.
Those are some of the best looking horses I've seen in any MMO. Looking forward to that!
And Mike Bitton told me he broke into the sweats at the idea of a teleporting assassin. :P
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LOTRO horses look better IMO (from the little i just saw)
The texture changing when a portal is opened is pretty cool tho and open class is always fun (trying to get the ultimate built) but i still say that combat look a bit cheezy and not next gen at all
I'm not looking for next gen. I'm just looking for a solid alternative to WoW, and i am very hopeful that RIFT could be that game.
I really don't see the appeal. It looks like all the rest. Nothing that those narrators said was compelling either. "Everything worked. Taking the annoyances of every otehr MMO and fixing them." What a bunch of cliche things to say.
Rifts open up and NPC bad guys spawn... So thats different from the games where they just literally appear out of thin air... Alright. I can accept that. Thats not really ground shattering, but its better than suddenly appearing, sure.
Logging out to get lunch in a peaceful town, coming back to a town under siege by an army of bad guys? Thats not very cool... thats a pain in the ass, actually. Log In. BEING ATTACKED, OMG YOU'VE BEEN MOBBED.
I don't get it.
But I'm glad others are excited. It'll be like Aion for me, or FF(whatever) that just came out. I can see it won't be fun and I won't play it.

Terribad animations at the pvp fights.
Also the horses look like they have 3 polygons max.
Dragon looked cool.
man that looks great, cant wait for 10am pst tomorrow
hope we dont crash the servers
This trailer 5 days before Cataclysm arrives. Interesting message.
:-P
You have to throw those comments out as they pop into your head or they get stale.
One of the guys I work with is following the game and said it was releasing in 2012. I don't recall seeing any sort of release date so I just went with his.
I'm not as interested in the graphics as I am the game play and mechanics. After all, STO and Champions had really decent graphics and look how that turned out. Ditto for AoC. You can't really tell how the game itself will play until you play it. One of the comments I thought was very interesting though, "It sounds simple, but it draws you in". Simple and effective. It would be nice if that's how it actually works out. :-)
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Best video I've seen of Rift so far. Actually made me somewhat excited. Only thing I'd have to say that I didn't like would be some of the animations, although good, were kind of repetitive, most notably in the larger monsters.
Overall great video, really looking forward to giving it a go.
Good trailer, Looking forward to throwing together makeshift groups to combat these "rifts" and once again have fun outside of instanced zones. Maybe even some competition with other raids to take down these "rifts" and loot their goodies for yourself!

Don't bother with him. He complains about every MMO out there. It's his "thing", just put him on ignore and enjoy your day.

Can't believe people are bitching about Rift, when for years they've complained about buggy unfinished MMOs being released. Trion is saying Rift will be polished, unbuggy, finished, at release.
Remains to be seen whether that is true, but god damn, give the company some credit for actually listening to the MOST important player complaint of the last five years in this genre.
Yea Bob, I'm with you on that one. I guess some people will just never be satisfied. IMO RIFT looks sweet, I am looking forward to checking it out tomorrow
Excellent! Everything I've ever wanted in an mmo, all wrapped into one
Im looking forward to it, the dynamics, and want one of those Ape mounts,while I'm at it.
altough im excited about trying it tomorrow and i see some good ideas -- the gfx and the char animations aren't "3rd generation" by any means. the art direction is just bad tbh. but gfx isnt all - will learn more this weekend.
Well........the thing about that is....like or dislike of art is an opinion. I could hate a world renowned masterpiece doesn't mean it is bad art.
Ok basically this the closest people moaning for ages going to get.
Very impressive video , nice feature of persistant servers handling . (meaing that rift npc will shift territories)
Quite daring indeed .
Good wide class choices .different system indeed.
Acording to beta tester its more polished then last years so called hot mmo release.
Ok major PRO first major AAA MMO game release where EU can actually rejoin US or vice versa .
I see tons good features , just con for me is its fantasy , sadly i am overburned with it ,
But i can say this game warrants it hype , make the march deadline please , you guys looking in really good shape.
Awesome explaining of the concepts ^_^
Well very daring move indeed :P , and dont forget hate is strong once cata is released and boredom sets in around febuari.
They might have to pull a trick or two , cause if there are alternatives , its not a easy road back anymore .
Anyway looks a mighty interesting year 2011 for mmo .
Beter then last year atleast people polish there releases before delivering .
And bring innovative features .
Sorry the class system blew me away thats finally again freedom to do what you want .
