Anyone heard of the new MMO game coming out, Rift? It's like World Of Warcraft but there are a lot more classes...

I haven't seen much of the scenery but the few clips seem nice. A few things I noticed is that Hunters (now Beast tamers) can not pick what pet they want, they get a "spirit beast" which is a pretty neat looking cat. And druids can not transform into animals, they are able to summon pets like a Warlock in WoW but these pets are more nature based. There is a bard calling which seems neat (a music playing class), a chloromancer (someone does damage and healing with plants) and a stormcaller.

After reading about a few of the callings I've noticed that they seem dependent on each other, unlike WoW where you could easily solo. For example, the Bard and Chloromancer pretty much NEED a ally with them. And people under the Warrior and Rogue class will not preform at their best without the two.

Here is the actually website- http://www.riftgame.com/en/

the only reason i'd buy the game, sadly.

a few people i know played the beta for a while, dunno if they're gonna buy it. i can't see spending $50 on a game and STILL having to pay a subscription fee. bleh.

ik, but the $50 dollars includes like one month, I really hope they release a trial version so it doesn't end up being a waste..
 
Your information on the game is pretty much completely wrong, but yea...

I played the game in a few of the betas, it was fun but not different enough from WoW to make me play it. I don't think I'll be dedicating any of my time to any other MMO until Guild Wars 2 comes out now.

Oh? Mind explaining, it's kinda pathetic to say something's "completely wrong" and then decide to shut up /:

you guys, I don't wanna be the only one positing here D:

Yes! I got it the first day I coud, It's an amazing game. Yeah, it is almost exactly like WoW, but the class system is great. I love it so much, I'm extremely addicted.
 
atm I'm a Bard/Ranger/Knightblade. Thinking of trying out Sabatour later, you can use bombs and stuff with that class.
