Going back to RIFT



After saying to myself I'd never go back to RIFT I decided to give it one more chance to make a good impression on me. I wasn't going in with high hopes though.

 I load my character screen up, select my level 50 Cleric, enter a pvp warfront, get smashed repeatedly. I play on the defiant side and although on my server (Spitescar US) defiant have been getting better, we were still losing 3 out of 4 games. To make matters worse, healing was still boring as fuck, dps'ing was like using a glass cannon and the game I was suddenly being reminded of how much this game annoyed me.

An hour later and I was already at the end of my patience. I'd given RIFT another chance and it had disappointed me. Well at least I wont be paying subscription anymore :D

    Good choice - there is no point in paying for something you're not using.

    Saying youll never go back is a bit harsh, I mean, thats silly and the game hasnt even been out that long, you couldnt have played that much after saying it anyway :P

    I'm still a WoW fan even though I don't play it anymore, and I won't be playing rift. :)

    A friend of mine is a Necro/Lock and needless to say he dominates.
    The only time he really gets beaten is when he comes across riftblades.
    Cool game though, in my opinion.

    good to know. i wasn't one to get into paying mmo's to begin with, this gives me another reason to stay away from rift

    I played a couple levels of this game but it didn't seem as entertaining as I thought it would be and I lost interest

    A lot of my wow friends have gone to rift, but then came right back.
    I am still really curious about it tbh but pretty weary.

    I'm like that one guy in MMOs that doesn't like PVP....AT ALL. Sorry to see that you can't get into the game much, not that I've played it mind you.

    Lol there are so many people in here that just commented things like I love rift, without even reading that you actually hate it :p

    Well I'd love to give it a try, but I refuse to pay any kind of subscriptions... :p
