What is Rift?

[Rusty pumpkin]

Alright, this has gotten more pressing on me because (obviously) the advertisement has become more present than the space bar on some websites. I'm asking anyone whos played the game what it is? right now i feel its a wow clone with better graphics, like Aion and all those other ones that tend to play like wow with fancy paint. Also doesn't help that one of the ads was "You aren't in azeroth anymore" wasn't even thinking of wow before that.

I was only aware of the Pen and Paper game, and my knowledge regarding that is that it is a pen and paper RPG that exists and that it tends to allow more outlandish and over the top sort of things than other popular rule sets.

A cursory search of google reveals that it is an MMO and seems to strongly resemble the Everquest/WoW style.

-EDIT-

I also am annoyed that the buxom babe on the right is wearing an armored bra but left her midriff exposed. Because in video games, no one ever aims for giant unarmored spots when delivering an attack.

Indeed, they usually aim for either the lightly armored rear or the exceptionally pronounced bussoms... i wonder why.

I suppose we could simply apply video game logic.

Fact 1: Always attack the weak spot for massive damage
Fact 2: Foes do not attack the unarmored spots

The two facts lead me to conclude that the armor is, in fact, the weak point. As such, were said buxom babe to wear less armor she would, paradoxically, become harder to harm. Presumably were she to discard all of her clothing, she would be night invincible.

If not invincible, certainly she would obtain a large area of affect stunning ability on the majority of male organisms, but lack of armor also causes lack of defense in chat, meaning her socializing window would be full of verbal sneak attacks a.k.a. "cyber" requests.
(This has gone off topic fast. And we have successfully made a legitimate excuse for all MMORPG female characters to cast off their clothing, a good days work Watson... or maybe you're Sherlock?)

More impressive is the ad at the bottom of the page is just a tit.

A breast and a shoulder. I am annoyed at this marketing ploy

Reminds me of Evony, a lying ad featuring wet, tanned, half dressed brunette women who had enticing offers of kingship over them and a lustful look in their eyes... Sorry, what were we talking about?

I think there's a short series on YouTube that could explain it well, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tylKBYrXleY&feature=channel or the obvious going to the offical webiste http://www.riftgame.com/en/ a couple of intresting things about it are the sort of combine different calsses thing and the random Demon and Elemental invasions that come from the Rifts and attack the area.

You didn't hear about the belly-dancer class? So ignorant.
