Im not sure what the comparison fascination is.. anyways, my friend asked me about it the other day and I told him.. If you're into WoW right now I dont see any reason to move over.

However, if youre like me where you dont really have any problem with WoW, but its just old / done for you, then rift is a decent change. The classes are a bit more open etc but for the most part gameplay / the interface feel just like WOW so its very easy to transition. I think they did a smart thing there.

Anyways.
