is rift the new wow?

I noticed this as well, but i liked letting the raids benefit from my bard buff uberness! So i would always drop my group and join the public raid, that is unless my group became the public raid. A lot of the time, I was there first and people joined me as they trickled in.

That comment was meant more as appreciation for characters that contribute to a fight being rewarded for that contribution - I like joining the group when there is one but I did also notice quite a few times that there would be more than one public group at a rift site, so it was nice that it wasn't black and white as far as being involved or cutting you out of the loop

I don't know how it compares to WoW, I only played WoW in open beta. However, Rift feels like it has very little depth to it. Buildings with doors that don't open, because they are nothing more then scenery. No real feeling towns where common folks live. "Quest" that are more like chores then an adventure with great rewards. It'd be fine if some quest were like that, but it looks so far that all their "quest" is a varient of kill X 8 times and from reading higher level people.....it changes to kill x 15 times...20 times and so on.

It is fun to play. How long I will think that, I am not sure. I did get 5 CE accounts and paid for 3 months, so have 4 months of play x5 already paid for. $489 for 4 months (1 CE was a retail box). Really, I am waiting for Everquest 3 to come out.
