I was hoping to get a new MMO in the mean time, think this would be a nice place to hop in to?

At the moment this game seems very complete, and suprisingly good for a begining release of an MMO, no one is really complaining (apart from queue times, and i mean come on really...) about gameplay issues or anything massive yet which is to say the least suprising. Can't really comment about what happens at 50 or what you can/cannot do. But if the developers are to be believed or if it is the same as the leveling process just you get better items instead of exp, you won't be bored at 50 ala Aion/Warhammer/other newer released MMO's

The only issue I've had thus far is that during a Rift invasion - the zone lagged up so bad from the mobs that were spawning (forgot what the zone name was... after Stonefields). Anyway, I'm sure those issues are going to be addressed as we go along anyway.

What servers are you guys on?

More than likely I'll make a character named Triniz or Trinizclutch or something to that effect

I totally missed the pre release hype for this game, but picked it up when I saw how popular it was at launch (if 1mil people buy it, its got to be worth at least trying right ?). It seems like a fairly standard MMO content wise, 'Rifting' doesn't seem to be worth it expwise unfortunatly. I'm super impressed with the performance though. No graphical slowdown or noticable network lag at all, even with upwards of 100 people beating on a single monster.

Class customizability is pretty awsome, but I'm a bit concerned about class balance. Mainly that with, what 36 'classes' and what must be almost a thousand possible combinations, its going to be impossible to balance everything.

Also concerned about the ridiculous amount of CC in the game. I play a stormcaller, and at level 25 I have (at 30m range):
AoE 10s 75% Slow with no cooldown.
Single target 10s 75% slow with no cooldown.
3s single target root.
3s Pointblank single target root + knockback.
Single target Knockback.
AoE 10s root (insta cast at range).
AoE pointblank 10s 75% slow and knockback.
selfcast shield which knockbacks on melee hit taken (5 times max).

On one class. Being a melee is going to absolutely suck in this game.

Eh, melee have their strong points, heh. Riftstalkers and Void Knights would grin at your comment. Rift just has plenty of choices, period. Some classes have more pushbacks, others have more dots, and still others just have good ol' plain spike damage.

I want to give this game a shot but my days of being able to play 2 MMOs at once are long behind me and I'm not ready to give up on WoW yet Are there free trials or refer-a-friend or anything around yet?

[Katlan]

So.. Guardian side... the quest to find the highest point in Silverwood puts you next to this little thing that when you click gives you a one time bag that has a random lv 20 item in it. I was w/2 of my friends.. one got a blue weapon... the other got a green (lol), I got epic leather shoulders for my rogue :D

[Man0warr]

Yeah there is a puzzle and a cairn in every zone that give random rewards.

You just got nerfed hard, it's time to quit WoW bud.

And no free trial yet. I'll consider letting you have access to my account to play around a bit if you so desire.

I'm a healer now, not nerfed into the ground (yet)

I might take you up on that, at least until I get tired or raiding or the guild breaks
