I figured Rift would suck since it was marketed as a more polished WoW, but I gave it a shot after getting the game + expansion + 30 days free on a promo, and it turned out to be a really good game. PvP is like vanilla WoW, but much better pace and balance(ie no insta kill windfury or forsaken shadow priest dot, dot, dead action), and a ton more specs.
Anyhow, if anyone from here wants to try it out, Raptr is rerunning the promo until June 12 when the game goes free to play. 10-19 and 20-29 BG q's pop in under 30 sec, lots of world PvP after 22 or so, and hundreds of brand new players on as it goes free to play.
