WoW captured people with advertising and simple gameplay. It does NOT have any original features at all.

Talking of advertising, its good to see that they are getting some advertising out about Rift, its sponsoring some programs on the Sci-fi channel at the moment for instance.

Too many MMOs just dont advertise themselves, much to their detriment, Blizzard did wonders with the way they advertised WoW, it meant that everyone, even non-gamers knew what it was.

Daoc on the other hand is a prime example of what a lack of advertising can do, Daoc is the 2nd best MMO I ever played (UO is 1st), but they could have been huuuuuuge if only they had bother advertising properly.

WOW doesnt have any original features. you have mistaken my point completely. Your comparing WOW a game that has been out for so long to a 1month old rift and expect it to have same amount of content as WOW.

Where have I talked about content? Wow also has a decent number of original features. My point is simple, this game has nothing to keep people playing it over what they were playing before.

I don't want to get in between you guys :p but for all the things that WoW does well it certainly does not bring anything original to the table it just polishes up the features that have pretty much always been prevelant in MMO's to a very, very good and very simplified degree.

I have to be honest, I really cannot think of much at all that WoW did which would be classed as an "original feature", everything I can think of in WoW was actually copied from other MMOs, but Blizzard did what Blizzard usually do with things which is give them a lot of polish and make it highly accessible. When I think of original features in MMOs I tend to think of UO, Daoc, AC1, EQ1 and AoC, originality and WoW are certainly two things that I dont think go hand in hand.

Oh joy the nerf merry-go-round begins!!

Who will be next?

No one knows!

But we can guarantee to ruin your game expereince by listening to every whiner out there!

:rolleyes:
 
best thing ever is this game taking a lead and removing the bull abilitity for mellee to move behind you if you are a caster and this auto cancels your cast because they are out of LoS. One of my biggest bug bears and glad to see it gone.
 
Any alteration to any class in any MMO results in cries from the players, either cries of nerf or cries of overpowering. Its an impossible situation to win in for the developers. Maybe if more people played a class they liked to play instead of always trying to play the FOTM class and trying to get the ultimate spec instead of playing the spec they like, even if its considered inferior, then they wouldnt be so obsessed with screaming nerf/overpowered at every change. Hell, my first grandmaster skill in UO was in spiritspeaking because I liked the title it gave, was utterly useless for anything but was a nice title :D

edit: Did anyone download this through steam? Im trying to find my screenshot file but cant find my Rift file anywhere on my computer :confused:

I'm at home now, just checked and my screenshots are here..

D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rift\screenshots

Obviously you have probably got steam installed somewhere else, but essentially its in the \steamapps\common\rift\screenshots location.
 
It does make you laugh at some of the things that some people are moaning about, one guy I read was complaining that there were no health bars shown above everyones heads ingame and that was one reason why he wasnt going to continue beyond the free month. I mean really...

Really does make you wonder at times whether some of these posters have another agenda to their posts.

Marvellous thanks :D

Now for the next question, how the heck do I hide my action bars when taking a screenie? Couldn't work it out so I assumed it was auto done, but apparently not :(
