Is RIFT the best MMORPG

[QUOTE="Maxxgold"]

The opoinions about wow in this thread are not informed. I see people saying they quit at level 40. If you haven't played WOW up to level 85 and played end game content you have no clue about WOW. All the good stuff happens at top levels. I have played all the otherr MMO's out there and they are a joke compared to WOW. Final Fantasy XI is a joke comprard to WOW. Final Fantasy is a kiddy MMO. Like if you have the I.Q of a 7 year old then that would be a good game. If you want to play a game that takes skill and mastery then you want to play WOW. Rift is just a WOW wanna be with not nearyl as much content and really lacking elements. Yes all the games try to copy WOW now, even Final Fantasy made it so you can level by yourself. Which is what WOW did and they always got flack about it from Final Fantasy people. Now Final Fantasy players are like, Oh it's so cool our game is like WOW now. I'm like right dude, werene't you the guy who said WOW sucked because you could level up easily. FacePalm. EverQuest 1 was a good game at the time but it's outdated and so is Everquest 2. No real skill needed to play those games. WOW is and will always be the best MMO out there. It has awesome PVP and PVE elements and the skill needed to play at high levels is unparalleled. If you only played an MMO up to level 25 or 35 and never made it to a top level you should probably not give your opinion about the games. THat's like reviewing a game after playing 5 minutes of the game.

You agree with this statement yet state you didnt reach max level on rift and made the assumption its end game would be no better.... hypocrit much?

Same raid instance now for what 6-7-8 months? dont worry though im sure 2 rehashed old instances and "dem hard modes, repeating the same raids but harder" is so much fun as your silly little guild mates obsess over damage metres.

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"]

[QUOTE="Birdy09"] Ofcourse you would. when ironically FF11's end game is much harder, more mature theme'd and requires more skill/timing and effort than World of Warcrafts, ofcourse the WoW generation like yourself would disagree... where all WoW has down now is condemn what could of been a very robust genre down to a Diablo loot obsessed dungeon crawler with virtual lobbys.

Nope not at all, I said I didnt like the dungeons I played any of them, and at level 50 you rerun them just harder like heroics, if I didnt like them the first I not going to like the harder version, I never said a word about raids because I never did one, I just commented on what I played and it was like 48 hrs play time between my characters, which is alot of time to give a mmo to decide if you like it or not.

Short answer: no Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

If you played WoW,Aion,WAR,GW,EQ,EQ2,AoC,or any other mainstream mmo, then this game will appear to be bland and boring. If not, then you might like it. It plays like all the mmos listed prior and with each coming patch they make it more like wrath with taking out the need for support, dumbing down the harder dungeons, and so on.

To be fair, it was a simple exploit that any new MMO could have. And Trion was quick to fix the issue. They're support for the game is pretty good.

I got my account hacked (whose a noob? this guy is). They were great about recovering my items and even gave me the option of rolling back my character. With the new coin lock system it's pretty much impossible to do any damage even if they did get your account info. Not to mention the authenticator available for iphones and android phones.

Here is a quick anwser to all of the mmo questions if its good or not ....

Just play LOTRO its by far the best if you compare it to being a f2p or even if your VIP (like me) ...

This of is my option :D ;)

Try it you wont be disappointed ;)

Ultima Online was made before Everquest. Yah.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA

[QUOTE="nintendog66"]RIFT is slightly better than WoW, yes but it's also the same thing. I personally like FFXI more than any other MMO.Phoenix534

Do people still play FFXI? I never got into it and always feel like I missed out when people talk about it. I might end up trying it out.

There were around 200k-50k players the last time I played it (Xmas season, 2009) so yeah, there should be a small but dedicated community. 1 warning though, it's the Battletoads of MMO's, it's really hard.

Is it the kind of MMO where soloing is basically impossible?

Yes

yeah I think it is pretty good, definitely in the top 10

I still think WoW is the best, with LOTRO following. AoC and EVE are up there too
