Sexy, sexy mage!
Well honestly, the game has quite standard quest-hub feel but the rifts, invasions and other events give the world this nice "alive" feeling. I loved it when there was an invasion in the level 5-20 area and a whole bunch of players grouped up to close the life rift. It gave me this warm feeling of an actual gaming community which I haven't had for a long time. Also, I changed the server to Icewatch which is at medium capacity and apears to have quite many active players.
Unfortunately, the trial only lasted till level 20 and you can not leave the first major zone with the "Free to Play" account. I explored a little, got to know the main city quite well and stood in the LFG queue for 6 hours. Yes, 6 hours. When I finally entered the dungeon (Realm of the Fae), the group was nice and we went trough the place with only 7 wipes (somehow I don't think or rogue tank was suitable)!
So after playing both Rift and Guild Wars 2 (beta), I must say, it will be hard to come back to an MMO without some kind of events happening on a daily basis. Rift really impressed me, I'll buy it as soon as exams end. Oh, the game does have one giant minus. The traveling system is horrible. The distances between places in Silverwood aren't neglectable and before I had enough plutonium (oops, I mean platinum) for a mount the walks took ages!
