You guys that have tried Rift should try it again... 1.3 patch improved a lot of areas and 1.4 is introducing cross shard LFG so the que times (hopefully) won't be so nasty. It's like WoW where is counts, but more like real gaming where that really matters. I love being able to take a break from quest grinding and battle and invasion. And the soul system really is amazing. Best tank I've met so far is a cleric LOL It's the first time my husband (we've been gaming together since 2001 EverQuest) likes playing a caster, and the first time I've enjoyed the necro/warlock type classes. It's not perfect, but it's unique enough from wow to hold my interest for some time
