Figured that's where you were going. It'd be like my grandma (who is very close to technophobe) trying to play...

sorry i guess i should have been more clear. You know when you see an infomercial where is shows generally old people tying to do something which is so simple like draining pasta or using a blanket. But they somehow make it look incredibly difficult that they need what ever the infomercial is selling. That is what I meant.

Ok so keep raIding those rehashed instances, but maybe, 6 years later, don't you deserve something better?

You are right it is brand spanking new, tbh for a new game I think it looks like shit. Don't get me wrong I like the game but what is the "so much more game play" it offers?

The new and different I noticed in a month of playing Rift (before I canceled the account, because I don't feel like paying for two monthly subscriptions right now):

new) Much newer graphics engine, which means the graphics look very pretty if you go out and buy a new system that can keep up with it. (Makes for a much spendier game than just buying the box and installing it, no?)

new) New zones, new creatures, new lore.

different) Less expensive ongoing pay-to-play fees than WoW

Mechanics seemed very similar. Gameplay seemed very similar. It's a good game, and if I wasn't so invested in WoW, or had never played WoW, I'd probably plunk down my money each month for Rift instead. But since fully enjoying the new graphics engine requires plunking down a bunch of extra money for new machines, and since I am so invested in WoW, I'm going back to my pretty and cartoony fun WoW... ;-)
