I'm pretty full on games right now (TSW, Fallen Earth, Defiance, and some of my CoH besties dragged me rather reluctantly into SWTOR), so I don't think I'll be jumping back in, but Rift is a good, solid game. I quite enjoyed the beta cycle, and the game's pretty typical of Trion QA (that is, very good...Defiance hurt their rep a bit, but trying to match the utterly set-in-stone release schedule of a TV show was never going to end well for any game studio...and the game works great now). High fantasy doesn't really work for me as a gaming genre, but for those who enjoy it, Rift is a very good choice.
