Rift now completely free to play, no restrictions or anything

Are those specs more game-changing than the others?

i only just started playing yesterday so dont know a lot about it, sorry can't really answer that

but from my reading of forums and stuff it seems the expansion specs aren't really necessary for PVP, the existing specs are jsut as effective or even better than the expac ones
 
I prefer the questline and UI alot better than WoW, so far enjoying this game, playing a Masothian Marksman as a Guardian.
 
Well I'm lv15 now, i've clocked a good amount of gametime to get a feel for at least the basic game

The PVE experience is pretty much WoW + GW2 random events/hearts, so instead of just doing the classic WoW-style questing, GW2-style random events pop up around the map all the time, you can join the zerg and leech exp/gold from doing it. I gained 4 levels in 30 minutes by doing a thing called "Instant Adventure" which is a huge map-wide eventline, and joined up with like 20 other random people to zerg these quests around the map, it was awesome fun.

The class system is pretty diverse as well - 4 main classes (Warrior, Rogue, Cleric, Mage) - but instead of each class having only 3 specs (like in WoW), Rift offers you 9 spec per class (10 if you've bought the expansion pack), which gives you A LOAD OF different ways to play. You can have up to 3 specs activated at one time, or you can dump all your talent points into 1 spec or even split it between 2, it's totally up to you.

You can also start riding mounts at Lv10 so you get around much faster earlier than in WoW :D

I'll report more later once I try PVP and do some dungeons and stuff. So far I'm enjoying it and really dig it :)

**My toonname is Chibiwong. (on Seastone - Defiant), add me if you're on my server :)
 
The pay to play specs arent really stronger than the others. Also I highly recomment this game to anyone whos bored of WoW. Its pretty much the only other decent MMO besides teh wurld of wurcruhft

im only lv15 right now

are you Defiant as well? whats ur toon name?

AND YES HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE - it's basically endgame WoW without the sub and even better in certain aspects :D
 
I tried rift last year. It's overall a pretty fun game in pvp and pve. Classes are pretty balanced and there's a huge variety. The only problem was that there wasn't enough people. But now since it's free to play IM definitely going back. To all those wondering, it's an awesome game. Definitely worth a try.
