So, whats the verdict on RIFT?

[Lyonheart]

The biggest concern I have atm, is the overall lack of content. I played most of the betas, so its a bit "been there, done that" for me right (plus I've been intentionally going very slow, as I don't think there is much to do, really, at lvl 50 yet). Don't get me wrong, I like Rift, and think Rift is fun, I'm just worried about being bored 10 days from now

I'm not sure I'm going to keep my billing plan active atm.

For a new game, i think Rift has more content than any other MMO had at release. It has all the same stuff( quests galore,dungeons and BGs, raids) Plus Rifts and invasions and Rift raids. It also has those Ancient wardstones at 50 that you can spawn a zone Boss. So it has some of the same ( but more of it) and the additional rift related content. With how well the Devs listen, I would wager that content will start pouring in very soon.

The stuff that is missing atm that i think should have been in from the start are simple things like guild banks, guild tabards and such. I'm sure that stuff will get in fast as well.

I hear ya, and mostly agree, but...

If you think about it, there are 5-6 zones to max level (per side). That's not much content. Personally, I can't think of a game that had fewer zones at launch -- except maybe Star Trek Online. In vanilla Wow, you were what, lvl 20 when you hit the 5th zone? (I really don't remember I played Wow a loooooong time ago hehe) Plus each race had their own set of starting zones, etc.

Rifts are cool, yeah, but they are the same thing over and over. I'm already bored with Rifts just from beta. Instanced Pvp has bored me for years
