RIFT is the perfect World of Warcraft clone
RIFT is the perfect World of Warcraft clone. It has everything WoW has: Same interface, mechanics, professions, auction house, instances, raids, BGs, item naming, controls, addons on Curse, talents, etc, It also has the additions that WoW has always needed: - Random Zone Events (constant, running all the time) - Rifts (which appear randomly and massively accros the map) - 1 and 2 players dungeons (Chronicles) - Built-in mechanics that in WoW you need addons (sell grey items, quest guides, etc) - Instant Adventures, which randomly matches you with a bunch of players and then you keep doing infinitely chosen grinding quests in a zone, giving massive EXP and rewards (the best way to level). But mostly important it has AN AWESOME CHARACTER CLASS AND ROLE CUSTOMIZATION. It's something like "make your own class and roles": - Caster DPS-Tank-Healer - Pure caster DPS - Caster and Melee DPS - Caster with Pet DPS and Healer (or just DPS) - Melee Tank with Healing habilities And a LOT MOOOOOOORE. Regarding the Free to Play aspect of it: you can completely play the game without ever spending a penny, but a few restrictions: - You can't sell on the Auction House - Limited bags (very annoying) - You will have to grind a lot in order to buy mounts But I was so hooked the first day that I bought the Classic Collector's Pack, unlocking a lot of extras, plus giving 1 month of Patron, which means 40% additional exp = faster leveling. Also, I WANTED to pay, because I was willing to help Trion. This game DESERVES money. It's polished, addicting and well crafted. If you want to play WoW but aren't willing for a comeback, RIFT is your game!

Frustrating more than fun
Disclaimer: thousands of hours sunk into this game - many more than displayed on Steam, top pve, pvp and misc (collections, artifacts, achievements, AH, etc) competitor. This is one of the most fun MMOs that existed on the market. Community was more awesome than vanilla WoW. Ruined by extreme greed once Trion realized they won't be number one since they added cash shop. Game is dead, obscene grinds, and full swing PTW. And trust me, I've had my shares of grinds (proud owner of The Insane title in wow amongst other pointless grinds in other mmos). Desperately needs a new game engine since 2012... Terrible performance disregarding true computer power. Too bad RIFT, you were a true brilliant gem. The class complexity and flexibility developed by awesome designers.. I will never forget you. You had everything for everyone. Including true player & guild housing. I've sunk hundreds of dollars on subscriptions and XYZ editions. Wanted to see you shine, but as long as Trion isn't changing it's management into something better, I'm left alone, shedding a single tear thinking about some awesome moments we've had together. May you rest in peace.

Wait for a sale
Used to be my absolute baby of the MMO world long before it came to Steam, to the point of where I was one of the subscribers who willingly continued to pay a monthly subscription for over two years. I only quit constant play because of real life ♥♥♥♥ and becoming a parent. Their ORIGINAL model, when going from subs to free, was a legitimate pay2be lazy/have pretty stuff, plus DLC/extra roles. Now? Now it's nothing but pay2win trash that has broken my heart. Even after you drop over 200$ on DLC content/"essentials" (without it now, you are so hindered, it's not even funny), you will have to pay over 100$ MORE just to fully unlock the game. This is not even touching the pay2win part! Investing your money is a waste of time, unless you want to pay out the nose to the tune of over 600$ (and this is lowballing) just to be competetive and capable of raiding. Goodbye, RIFT. I shall never redownload you again.
