Honestly, I don't find it as fun as Vanguard was when Microsoft owned it. When Sony took it over, Vanguard, it went to hell.

But having said that, it's about the best thing out there. It's sort of WoWish in that it is more towards casual players and has a pretty good PvP system, but the graphics are nothing like WoW. They are more "realistic" looking.

The thing I like about it, is that if you pre-order and you keep your subscription up, instead of paying the typical $14 a month, you get a special rate for $10 a month.

Neat-o dude, I'll check it out. Right now I'm working on my 5th 85 in WoW, and as you can imagine I'm getting a little bored :P. I was checking out the classes of rift though, and its simply outstanding. Looks like fun, you should let me know what server you're gonna be on too big guy. Should try and get a whole oldschool HG crew rolling around hehe

tried it in the closed... Kept me interested for about 15 min, which is good, a lot better than most other WoW clones. Guess it was the big monsters up in the sky that i liked..
