Rift is the hero child for subscription fanboys. I myself could never understand how they lasted this long. The game is super generic and even its claim to fame with its invasions has been passed by other games public quests.
The game was already double dipping with a Cash Store which is a big no no for me.
So will I play it, problery not, I got to level 30 I think and that was enough. I don't think the lure of housing will draw me in. Not when there are far superior 100% F2P games out there now like Neverwinter / Star Trek Online or B2P Guildwars 2.

Rift can go get stuffed
So anyway I got the email for the half birthday saying the game is up and running only to find I am forced to transfer off the realm.
So I choose a new realm, sorry your name is taken. So I run though every realm in the game and find I can't transfer without renaming my character.
Your character name is the most customizable part of this game and now they won't let me use it. So I have lost all intrest in even wanting to play.
I have no idea why they didn't evolve the naming system like most modern MMO's ( Charactername@User or First and last names ). Its so retarded.
So Rift is gone for me, gone much like EvE Online.
Oh and I was Coinlocked AGAIN and had to jump though hoops AGAIN to unlock my account.
Not worth the effort.
FWI, Both Steam 'coinlock' and Guildwars 'Coinlock' didn't trigger with my recent computer changes, and they shouldn't ether as it should be based off location not hardware.

Rift - The game with no rifts
I got rift at launch and found the beginning stages of the game to be one of the most enjoyable experiences in a MMO for a long time. There was a real sense of war between the planes.
Fast forward to today and I have re-subscribed and re-rolled defiant.
Before you hit the guts of the post, I was excited to play again and looked forward to it. I really did think Rift was still a good, freash and new MMO. Turns out I was being to hopeful. It is still better than the state that Warcraft is in but only just.
