Rift

Last month I decided to kick my WOW habit, and today I gave RIFT a go, seeing as TRION are selling it for 8 quid.

Hey, it's a bit too familiar to WOW if you ask me. The UI and key mappings are exactly the same! Early levels see you doing lots of 'killing xx baddies/collecting xx stuff' and picking up the odd green armour...

...This is a different game, right?

How are those specific to WOW exactly? One way or the other I have seen those same features in pretty much every other MMORPG before and after WOW (hence why I avoid them like the plague).

Is there more to it? otherwise perhaps WOW was the first game of the genre you played and it's simply your only base of comparison so far.

Yes, you're right there. All I know is pressing 'C' brings up the character equipment screen; 'b' bring up the bag window, the 5 different bags equipped are shown at the .bottom of the UI; the 'action bar' is in the centre bottom of the UI; pressing 'L' brings up a window showing opened quests etc.

OK, so my character is only at level 5. As I've said though, early quests are of the ''killing xx baddies/collecting xx stuff' persuasion, but I will play on a bit.

I'd give Rift a go but I'm gonna hang fire for SWTOR.
