Poll: Should I get Rift or WOW?

[CCountZero]

World of Warcraft, at least for the amazing and rich lore.

...

No way in hell.

I may be prejudiced by having played every game in the Warcraft series, but the lore in WoW has been changed, rehashed, altered and otherwise defiled in so many ways I won't even begin to count.

When they finally get around to making WC4, they better disregard the events of WoW entirely.

never played RIFT, so i go with WOW

i used to play wow. now i play rift. i find rift to be better but that might be cause i was bored of wow.

i like rift cause there are 4 classes instead of 10 but each class allows you to do a few different things. like with the mage class you can dps like a warlock or a pyromage or sort of like a shaman or you can heal. so level one character and get 2-4 classes worth compared to wow.

i like it for other reasons too.

why not try the 7 day trials for both.

Also, there is a very good reason WoW dominates the market.

i think that has more to do with the network effect. people play it cause everyone else plays it. wow doesnt seem much better than any other mmo out there except it has like 12 million subscribers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with a lot of the changes and retcons they made, but in all seriousness, the overall story of the series has kept me interested. The story behind all of the events, the history of the races and the lands they originate from etc. It's all truly immersive stuff, all retconning aside.

Get a girlfriend instead. If you already have one, get another one. Threesomes are fun and good for your health after all.

Haha if it was only that simple...

The only thing that really matters is what your friends are playing, at least to me. I don't find any MMO even remotely fun without making use of the social aspect.
