Best mmorpg currently out there, hands down. PvP is best since DAoC.
It's no WoW, or in other words; it's not full of 13 year old kids (WoW seems to be all children), and it's not a game where everyone can be a bad ass just by hitting cap and spamming a few keys. If you want an mmo that actually challenges the player in both PvP and PvE, Rift is your game. While the game at this point may seem dead, or just like a brutal grind to cap with no fun; it's not! Storm Legion x-pack has introduced a new capital for both defiant & guardians, and that is where everyone has hidden themselves! Believe me when I say, the grind to 50 is worth toughing out, as soon as you hit those last 10 levels, you'll be in zones packed with players & also will find that 90% of the game finally becomes available to enjoy.
