Guys, I am not sure where the venom toward me has come from. Welcome to F13. We eat our own young. He's not joking, they really are hateful. Me? I'm just here to learn to toughen up - I'm too nice! |

I think the biggest enemy Rift will have to fight is blandness, they are trying to do a few things that have sounded good on paper in the past and ended up being very bland and boring in execution. I'm mostly talking about their class system choices though I also worry about the dynamic content as well.
If the game is well crafted I think the formula they are pitching could be a winner. Then again what was the last well crafted MMO?

Well everyone that talks about the game in the media, people from PAX/GamesCom etc. say the game is extremely polished in alpha form. Just ask AutomaticZen. You can even listen to him talk about it in the latest podcast at Riftpodcast.com.

To me the biggest enemy is simply GW2. However interesting a lot of what I see and read about Rifts sounds I know I won't invest in 2 MMO's like this at once.
They both talk about dynamic content (admittedly in slightly different ways, but neither looks a lot more promising than the other atm).
They both have an interesting and somewhat novel metagame going for skills&feats and such.
They both look gorgeous (slight edge to GW2 atm I'd say, but maybe that's just because I've seen more in depth footage of it).
It's like watching Tyson Gay sprint; he's almost inhumanly fast and would win any other day, but Usain Bolt is the guy people came to see.
Unless this launches months before GW2 and I just can't resist scratching my MMO itch any longer, I can't see me choosing this instead.

This has a bonus on GW2 that means a lot to some people: NCSoft has nothing to do with it.

I'm interested in both. Rift for my 'deep' addiction-fulfilling MMO world, and GW2 for lighter 'instant action' play. Of course there will be competition between the two, but they're very different concepts (at least, I believe they are...). The early polish is a good sign - the two big things that first stood out for me in WoW beta were polish and attention to detail. It isn't the be-all-end-all, but I'm convinced that is a prerequisite to mass market appeal. Of course if it requires a supercomputer to run, that'll be undone. |

That is my comment on "polish" as well. It is one thing for this game to work beautifully on the developer's system in a controlled environment (for extremely short periods of time. A demo could last for 3 hours with several people playing together and not amount to any meaningful time in MMO standards). It is another for it to work just as well on millions of systems over hundreds of hours per month. I can put up with new features that don't work exactly right if the game runs lag-free and crash-free. I don't care if the ideas are brilliant if my computer sputters along (say like with EQ2 in the beginning) simply moving through town and the game crashes. Not sure about the whole GW2 competition, I have not followed that game at all... but that is because I don't see it in the same vein as most other MMO's, so personally it does not compete with them at all. It seems like more competition with FPS/RTS crowds to me, or at least those are the people in my guild who are most interested in it. |

I'm definitely interested in both GW2 and Rift. It's a no brainer if you think you'll enjoy both games. Guild Wars 2 won't have a subscription.

I can see TOR, GW2 and Rift each filling a particular niche, however, all of them releasing around the same time and having Blizz pound the jungle flat with their expansion, it's going to be a brutal year. Everyone better be on their A game.
As unbelievable as I find it....I think I'll be buying all three unless something goes horribly wrong. I like what I'm seeing from each one, for different reasons. Good thing there are no big home improvement projects planned for next year, I won't have any time.

I'm not sure that Cataclysm is going to be a massive success as the previous expansions. That doesn't mean it won't be a success, but I don't think it's going to be amazing and awesome. There is more hype out there in the MMOGsphere for the new games than there is about Cataclysm.
We'll have to wait for Blizzcon to see if anything new is coming soon(tm).

It was a basic "Intro to Rift 101". It was meant for people who never heard of the game before. However this time Scott got to go into a little more detail with his explanations.

I can't believe that recent posts in this thread have lacked any reference to Sparta. Well done chaps! Well done!

I'm scared to write more than a sentence or two. My writing skills aren't very good. It really was just an intro to rifts, covering everything I've heard before. Biggest thing that I got from the interview was that I don't like TTH live podcast guys, but Scott H seemed to dominate the talking quite well. |

While I was enduring the TTH dickbags yammering, I noticed they put up a transcription and read that instead.

I believe the Sci-Fi tv MMO is a different title.
They have a section called "SyFy Action MMO" separate from Rift and End of Nations.

Not that I know of, though I don't know about the comic book guys. Curt Schilling is going to be there though.  |

I know there are a few people here that are interested in this game, so fyi a chance for a chance to be in beta has appeared. Draegan's site Riftjunkies.com is holding a contest for some keys from Pax. In other words, Draegan has been holding out on us.  |
