why i will not be going to rift

well everyone else was doing one so why not jump on the band wagon, first of all i am not a WAR fanboy (yes you are i know you said it) if you like a game then you will play it regardless of what other people think of it (beautiful katomari anyone).
i like to think i have a good range of MMO's i have played in the past ( everquest 1&2 star wars galaxies dark age of Camelot guild wars planet side city of heros  world of warcraft pirates of the burning sea star trek online to name a sum) but to this day star wars galaxy sticks in my head as the best MMO i have ever played un till they cocked it up big time you can read all about it here.

but lets clear one thing up WOW did a lot to help MMO'S as well as hurt them as well it got more people to play the games but it really pre WOW the fail rate for an MMO was i think about 80% i think its know at about 30-40% so it did do good. but all my time playing it was the PVP aspect that was the best part of it.

actually playing my guy agents your guy is a lot more fun than an NPC that will just follow a pattern and for my money WAR gives me that. so the first reason is its a PVE game served up korean stile, second of all every MMO gets touted as the next big thing its marketing 101 make you customer think you product is better than the one they have or your competitors, i carnt think of an MMO that has not don this.

all so never believe the hype just go ok that cool if it one think i have seen over the years is that MMOs are reusing the same ideas just a different spin (rift+invasions= war's PQ's). but the most important think i have learned is hold on dount get the game right off the bat all ways check in at about 1 to 2 months after launch and read around see what other people are saying about it.
