I played RIFT from around 1.4 through the xpac and f2p changes. It is a solid standard MMO with good raids, lovely graphics, and some fun dungeons. It caught my eye after the bloom fell off of WoW's rose for me. I ended up quitting after too much guild drama, though, and started playing TERA. I am really liking TERA. The action MMO playstyle is different than standard MMOing and I welcome the difference. I tried Neverwinter until I reached max level and got bored and disillusioned by the crap endgame there VERY quickly. TERA's graphics are lovely, although the female... attributes are very exaggerated. There are lovely cutscenes and some decent voice acting. I am currently Lv47 out of 60 in TERA and am looking forward to exploring endgame. I think it really boils down to your playstyle. If you want a solid, fun, classic-style MMO, go with RIFT. If you want something more action-oriented with some atypical races, go with TERA. Since they're both f2p you can easily try both and go with the one you like more.
