I am really enjoying Rift, but if the population does not come back it seems pointless to play if the game is dying
I know a lot of guilds were complaining about players leaving to play ToR, including ours. We had to do a recruitment drive to replace missing members and we have now beefed up the ranks.

I admit that I stopped playing RIFT to play ToR as well but came back to RIFT after a week because of the issues with MB ToR. However, i see they are working on the follow fix and Mosg2 came up a with a new workaround.

Our guild master is now worried about GW2 releasing and what effect that will have on RIFT. Hopefully, RIFT will weather both new games and continue on as I still really enjoy playing RIFT and am now working on getting my second team up to 50.

The population Greybriar seems good but I haven't actually checked the level from the server perspective, will try and remember to do so tonight.
