looks like warhammer, just not that cool
It's basically a Warhammer clone.
I've got a beta key but it just looks like another Warhammer so haven't bothered with it.
I'd check it if they approve my beta, loved warhammer

This sorta looks like WoW, Ima try this out
Is it hard to level?
I played the beta, but I hate the combat system. So I haven't bothered with it after that.
It turns out I know someone working on the game. I still think it's going to do terribly because the company is doing so many things fundamentally backwards. WoW is a fluke. It only blew up in popularity after it was dumbed down and it remains one of the only MMOs ever made that has remained profitable for more than a few years with a pay to play system. It is very much so the exception to the rule. Rift's makers apparently do not see this trend and its initial swell appears to be smaller than recent similar "wow-busting games" that claimed to have many people leaving WoW to play them.. and they all quickly fell to marginal profitability after 90% of their initial players left and went back to WoW or whatever else. As long as companies keep thinking this "buy the client AND subscribe to play" methodology is a successful one, we're unlikely to get a stable and good MMO. Also, it appears you can't break a few million subscribers without simplifying your game so that a casual player can be equivalent to a hardcore player outside of super high level PvP. Which is sad, and hopefully a trend that isn't followed.
This game got certain parts that do look WoW. Need to play beta first, before I preorder it.
should be in in like an hour.. it's not downloading at full speed unfortunatelly..

I actually find no similarities between rift and warcraft, it strictly is a warhammer clone. I loved warhammer myself, it seemed more "adult".
Actually there are a few similarities for example the layout of the skill bar, the 3 skills on the right (just different colors and altered slightly). But it's hard to think up any different ways to lay that out or make new icons that some other MMORPG hasnt thought of yet so i suppose you are right.Quote:

I hate it already, this is second time this error #1003 appeared while downloading the client, after that error it runs full file check, which takes about 15 minutes, after that check it says "full re-download necessary", when you click yes, it does that 15 minutes check AGAIN and after that it finally continues with download.
Also downloading speed is going up and down as it please.. Might take a few more hours before it finally finish.
I wouldn't class the GUI as a similarity simply because its a standard procedure. Just pre-ordered rift for £25 w/ game. It gives you some free goodies.
