My history
Here goes...
I started rpg's with Final Fantasy VII. Loved it to bits. Then I switched over to Diablo 2. Loved it even more. Then I tried my first MMO, WoW, and am still playing it now. It might be a little simplistic when compared to other rpg's out there, but I enjoy it very much.

Re: New Ideas
I'd love to see one based on Warhammer 40K. Love the lore behind that one. For the Emperor!

Actually, has anybody here played Knights of the Old Republic? Didn't like the second one, but I thought the first was great. Really good story and exploring all those planets was pretty cool.
I did, great game. Played Baldur's Gate as well, And I agree, cracking game. Makes me want to dig it up again.

What was the name of that psycho droid who kept calling people meatbags?
HK-47. Great Character that one, he cracked me up all the time, with his cynical "Kill everything" attitude.

Me too. This will be my second Rift beta event. I was impressed enough with the first beta to buy the game at release.
Good to hear. If this one's any fun, wow has seen the last of me. Haven't really played it since three months or so, am now leisurely exploring the new stuff from cata. It's all become rather boring to me, and I'll probably never raid again in WoW (did so extensively with WOTLK).
So, if this one tickles my fancy, I guess I'm theirs until SWTOR is realeased. Maybe even beyond that. And in 2012, I'm planning on fighting Xenos filth for the Emperor!.

RIFT
First Impressions:
Looks great so far, even my old PC can handle high settings very well, unless there are alot of people on screen, then I have to switch to medium too keep the framerate up enough (it's not unplayable on high, but it's just better on medium).
So far so good, too bad the servers are overheating at the moment.

Re: RIFT
Right, since the servers are down now due to an update, let me give the impressions I've gathered in the short time I've played it.
Levelling is fast for the first few levels, I'm level 7 at the moment.
You unlock all three of the soul trees (talent trees) by level 5, which means you can start combining your points from very early on.
Performance is excellent, I've got a rather old PC, the only thing I update on it are the ram and the graphics card, and even that was several years ago. When I put it on medium, it still looks very good, and I can polay it even if there are 150 people on my screen.
Quests so far have been pretty standard, but what do you expect from an MMO.
In short: so far, I like it. Let's see what I think about it at the end of the week.

I’ve shown up to areas where clearly not everyone at that location is in the same raid. I mean where there’s only say 10 people at that spot and for some reason I’m in a public group of two or three.
It's possible that those people simply didn't join the "public group", though. Nothing Trion can do about that.
