I can't believe people that play other top MMO's think this game is bad... But hey to each their own I guess!

This looks really great, and it shows that this team has what it takes to really push content out the door. For a company that has never ever released an MMORPG and then released this and made back all their investment and then some shows something.

I think I am becoming a Rift Junkie...

This game has changed a lot since launch. All of the changes that Trion continues to make is making this game quite amazing! Especially considering they have special events, continually new pumped out content, and tons and tons of patches. I have a feeling that the more time goes on, the more people will be saying this is that game to play now.

I think this man truly understands the appeal of the MMORPG.

It isn't epic gear, or raiding on Mon/Wed/Fit together, nor playing the auction house, or running dungons. NON of that would matter if people didn't like playing together and feeling like the game rewards them, rather than punishes them, for wanting to play the game with each other.

Rift has made serious progress as an MMO, and frankly its funny that so many people think its terrible. This game is shaping up to be one of the best MMO's to ever hit the market in years. I am being honest here and trying not to exaggerate.

I think I just fell in love.

@JuliusSeizure

thanks, not really important to know, but thanks.

By the time I finished all my level granting and power leveling of characters with recruit a friend, I had 8 level 80's and no need for this. It took me about two weeks to do, and if I want I can still make that Shaman and Mage as well.

I think that these BOA items are honestly pointless grinds. It could take several weeks of grinding dungeons, argent tournament dailies, and darkmoon fare coupons just to get all the items, weapons, and trinkets. Why do that? You can level 3 times faster with RaF alone.

The only exceptions are that if you already had some BOA, and a nice guild with the xp bonus, then use those and RaF yourself. You can level two different classes together (pick ranged with ranged and melee with melee). Then head over to hotkeynet and download the free program for wow and install it. Set up your follow and assist macro's and walla, you are set up, and you know what? You are going to save yourself a butt load of time!!!!

It is definitely just better to use RaF to make alts I kid you not. These items are just too much of a pointless grind each week.

I imagine far more immersive experiences. By then a much more sophisticated Kinect will have been created, 3D tech will be more evolved, and screens will have at least a 4k glassesless 3D screen with Bose like 3D sound.

You will be able to wear wirless lightweight headsets that make you feel like you are in world. This world will be a new social experience where you can so many different things.

MMO's are really just the stepping stone for the future of VR technology. What designers and programmers learn by then will make today's games look very very old. And WoW will perhaps still be around with Blizzard's store, but by then will be a free to play game with perhaps no new expansions any longer.

This goes to show that the West isn't the only one that has the ability to innovate and invent new types of MMO game play.

To me if its fun, then it works. Fun in regards to combat usually keeps you interested in it. The combat is fluid, you press buttons and things happen with little to no lag, and the animations and abilities are quite neat.

So, anyway, this looks like quite a fun game.

A game that actually requires skill, paying attention, desire for story, and more... Oh and no insane leveling curves, No kill-stealing, No ganking lowbies, and the game starts at level 1 rather than at max level.

I can't wait. The art is gorgeous, the music a masterpeice, and the design of combat and how fluid and nice it looks. All of these things tell me that I am going to be saving money.

No need for anything else if you can have the creme de la creme.

Jeesh,

Give me 30 million and I will move my butt out to silicon valley. I won't have to know squat about MMO's at the time. I will simple put out adds in monster and wherever else for Directors, Artists, Programmers, level designers, and more. I'll pay them to create a game based on whatever concept we agree on. After that we can launch a media blitz, have Dev's go around to various websites answering questions, and people creating video's of gameplay.

I will go the B2P route, with optional microtransaction items. Heck I might even take our little company public to raise additional funds as well :D

Doesn't take a genius really. Not guaranteeing what we make will be the second coming, but it will be fun, allow much progression, and have attractive art and fluid gameplay.
