So whats everyones impressions of this game now then, with it being out for a while and the new expansion. Is it still quite popular or has newer mmos taking the fan base away?
 
Sod it just bought Storm Legion Infinity Edition on the Trion website. Got to download the 11.1GB client, getting speeds of around 4.5MBs so shouldnt take too long.

What PVP server is the best to join with plenty of people on?
Any chance of a guild invite:D
 
I'm enjoying it so far, done mostly war-zones and with the massive reduction in valor needed for PvP gear and the removal of the PvP stats it feels a lot more fun.

I've tried the Tactician and Harbinger souls for the rogue and mage with the tactician being by far the best fun.
 
I'm back playing this too. Tried GW2 but I just couldn't get into it.

When I last played I used to be maxed PvP and was pretty dubious about their attempts to make PvP more accessible (I worked hard to get where I was :-p) *BUT* the new changes really are great.

Pretty much any casual can quickly get to r50 and spend a few weeks maxing out the top (pre 60) gear. The new soul changes are great, and so are the new souls. There also seems to be changes to mitigation, so TTK is longer. I've really enjoying the PvP again - I intend to level to 60 through pvp only (54 atm).

For all it's flaws, PvP in rift is more addictive for me than any other current MMOs PvP - it can infuriate and exhilarate and due to WF setup, I can pop in for a quick game or two then leave.

Sadly, all my friends are stuck over in GW2!

Edit: My mains are Playtime and Sma on Guardian, Bloodiron.
 
Well ive been playing for about 5 days now, seems to improved massively since 3 months after release (when i stopped playing it) and is pretty good fun. If anyone is playing on icewatch add me please.

I'm sure I used to come up against you in wfs though you probably wouldn't have noticed me :( Main was KillerTomato, rogue Defiant on Bloodiron. Haven't played in ages but the comments about the new expansion seem to be mostly positive. Hmmmm, to resub or not...

I actually think I do remember you :).

I've seen a lot of old names reappearing, so it seems like a lot have come back for SL - although most people have moved to PvE servers due to the ability to have defiant and guardian in the same groups/guild on such servers.

It's worth re-subbing for a month to see how it goes ;) I'm having lots of fun atm, and it all comes back surprisingly quickly.
 
How does the game play? I still haven't really found a good MMO for me since Ultima Online. I got into WoW for a few years since launch, but it really has outstayed it's welcome for me (not to mention my PC won't run it for some reason).

How hard would it be to get started? Are there a lot of new people or is it just seasoned vets?

In terms of housing, can you store stuff in them, can they be looted by other players?

Sadly I've been quite disappointed, levelling takes a long time, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the content feels very lacking. I was really in the mood for a decent questing based levelling experience but the quests are very boring and feel unrewarding, they've screwed around with all the classes but not really changed things.

So a stupidly large amount of xp needed to level mixed with a lack of content and what content there is being pretty boring and unrewarding has left me feeling very unenthusiastic about playing.

As I said, very dissapointing.

tbh, I haven't really done any questing in the expansion - mainly just WFs and some random world PvP. Currently I've been gaining half to a full level per day (depending on how long I play) just through the random WF option - so for PvP at least, levelling seems fairly fast.
