   For those playing, most of you understand that this game isn't just ok. Its wow good. But it is different enough to feel like a new experience. And yet it does mimic a lot of the stuff wow did right.

   There is a lot to enjoy with Rift.

   I preordered the game, and got in on founders subscription(9.99usd/month for life). I am set to play. the game has a headstart on feb 24thish for preorders.

   So, post what servers, factions, and architype(class) you are looking to play. I will be happy to link up in game with you guys. Would be cool to have a few of us from here to hang with.

   I like to play Defiant(will play either, if needed).

   I enjoy Rouge builds the best. I am going with Ranger and Bard(still toying with third soul durring beta).

   Now we just need a server to launch on.

   I normaly gravitate towards PVE ones. I can hang with PVP ones, but they can get choatic fast. I don't like RP ones at all(I am just not that big of a nerd).

   I do enjoy PVP BattleFields. I enjoy rading, but never as Tank or Healer(too much pressure and too many thing that can go wrong). And of course crafting(and that thankfully seems very good in Rift).

   Get back to me in this thread if your interested.

   And if your a hater or still blinded by wow - you have no idea what your missing. I played wow two days after it launched - Rift leaves wow in the dust at this point.

   I've been playing rift and there is nothing in it that really makes me go 'Cool'.

   The quests are the generic, go here, kill this, come back to me, type the mob placement just seems to be there 'because they have to be'.

   The Rift events are just, well, dull. Let rift open, kill creatures, rift closes everyone gets pressies at the end. Thats not innovative at all since WAR had already done it years before hand with their public quests.

   Maybe I should level up more and see more of the world, but so far it really isn't going to take me away from WoW..

   OG, i will send you contact info at your email.

   Now on topic. I think the game is great, but it does too much what WOW does already + if feels a little bit empty. quests also worse then in World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm
   The class system is a bit broken because it's just TOO much. for example i'm playing right now NECROMANCER/ELEMENTALIST and another class i don't remember and i give an F about them and just do the job with my Necromancer class.

   RIFT events are dull to be honest. Even when you do a RAID on them there is not much of a challenge.

   world is also dull, but pretty (i have everything on max. 1080p)

   But i can't wait for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_FskSWHLgE&feature=channel

   This is too much of awesome.

   I hear what your saying about qsts, but I am not too sure what you think should be done about it.

   I mean how does a questing system not feel generic? Generic really only means like all of the others. But it also means it is the same thing that everyone else is doing too.

   I played for years, like you guys, and the questing system there is just as bad. Not like I get done with a wow quest and think "whoa that was fun!"

   So really to me the questing system doesn't matter. All i want out of a qsting system is to get qst exp for doing what I would be doing anyways - like tackling this or that instance or clearing out that castle looking thingie on the hill. Thats ok for me. Thats actualy awesome.

   I feel that if qsts got too creative, i might think they were a pain in the ass. I don't want to see console elements into my PC MMOrpgs. I don't want to run all over the place looking for something glowy to click on that is well hidden. I don't want to have puzzle elements to my qsts. Just not what I am looking for.

   So, other then how it already is, not too sure what can be done.

   I will take a look at my email when I finish this up.

   Do you like your necro erth?

   I played a Mage Elem/storm/chorl. I enjoyed it but found I only used Elem/Chorl and left storm unspeced. Tho I also found my pet couldn't tank very well. And I got owned in PVP.

   So I switched to Rouge. I am now a Bard/Ranger/Riftstalker. I love LOVE that build. Here I use Pet to tank solo. I use Bard to buff/dps/heal. If target is resistant to bard(its caddence can't be dodged or miss), then I use ranger skills. If the target gets inside I use melee w/Riftstalker skills. In PVP is use Wolf pet instead of tank boar. I really can not tell you how much I like that build.

   Very flexable. I can spec a role with bard to do nothing but heal in PVP or PVE/instances. Or I can be all out melee dps. Or all out ranged dps. Or if need be I can provide the tank in groups.

   Also liked the war class with the Beast/champ/warlord spec. Lots of dps, lots of survivability.

   Lots of options. Thats what I like the best. To me the qsts are a very small aspect of the game.
