But I am going to state right now  that in no way am I going to mark the score down for using elements from  other MMO's since that is the only way MMO's can truly change and  evolve (for the better).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rift is a game similar to WoW, but in  all ways better. The graphics are very beautifully done for instance,  and actually require you to have a decent graphics card to even play it.  Meaning even at the lowest settings, the game looks like something that  should be on a PS3 or Xbox 360, something WoW really lacks.&lt;br /&gt;
The  story behind The Rift is pretty much an uprising against a tyrant who is  defeated, then as the coward he is, tries to use a machine that is  suppose to harness the magick of dragons, but since you cannot harness a  dragons powers, it backfires and causes tears in the sky called "Rifts"  which can appear anywhere at anytime and change the landscape  drastically, along with summoning the undead and other monstrosities to  come and kill you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some elements of WoW have been used in The  Rift, or inspired by it, like the death sequences, though they did  change it up a bit. You can either wait and re-spawn in the same spot  where you died (which you can only do once per hour), or spawn as a  spirit at a shrine and run back to your body, or just spawn right there  at the shrine with an hp/mp, and exp penalty, just like the penalty in  WoW.&lt;br /&gt;
The combat mechanics of the game are similar to that of WoW's  where you have a skill bar at the bottom of the screen where you place  your skills, which are then activated by the 1-0 number keys, all pretty  self-explanatory. The Rift also uses a unique combo system I have not  seen in another MMO for a long time. When you strike an enemy with a  skill, a skull will appear next to the enemies portrait, up to a total  of 5-6 skulls, and the more you let those skulls build up, the more  damage a skill will do if it utilizes the skulls. An example would be a  rogue finishing skill, you build up the combo skulls and do a finishing  skill move and the total amount of your damage is amplified for each  skull you have built up (A bit confusing I know).&lt;br /&gt;
The tutorial in  this game is so-so, just text popping up telling you what to do, and if  your someone who is impatient (like me) you will probably skip over some  important information, which is more of a personal problem than  anything else, moving on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are from what I have been told,  hundreds of quests, so you will have no trouble keeping yourselves busy.  The quests consist mainly of reading some story told by an NPC about  the war and what is happening and then having the task of going to kill a  certain amount of monsters then returning for an award, the standard  for all MMOs' apparently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are 7 sub-classes to each main  class, which are called souls. I will try to explain this to the best of  my ability, but even I didn't quite understand it at first either. The  souls you use are pretty much your sub-classes. For example if you want  to be an rogue assassin you go and absorb the soul of an assassin  warrior (a trainer of sorts) and you can have up to 3 souls, meaning you  can have 3 sub-classes of one class. For instance all classes have 7  sub-classes meaning you can have up to 3 different souls representing 3  of those sub-classes. Since I am a rogue, I went with assassin, I also  absorbed the souls of a Blade Dancer, and a Rift Stalker. This is very  confusing so bare with me!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rift also has it's own version of a  class tree, where for every level, you get a point you can place in  your talent tree to make skills stronger and to unlock new skills for  said sub-class, remember you can have up to 3 souls! so you may have to  think carefully about where you want to put your points!&lt;br /&gt;
Like World  of Warcraft The Rift is an open world, where no loading takes place and  everything transitions smoothly through environments just like WoW is  most known for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though for the steep price of $50 dollars and a  reoccurring $15 dollar a month subscription fee I cannot say I will be  getting this game since I am currently hooked on Dungeons and Dragons  Online Unlimited. But for the current price and subscription fee it is a  bit more expensive than a regular WoW expansion pack of 20-40 dollars  but this game definitely deserves the money!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"The Rift" looks very promising for a game still in it's beta testing phase, and I cannot wait see the finished product.&lt;br /&gt;
Overall  NightmareStudioz gives The Rift a 10 out of 10, and it is highly  recommended as an alternative to WoW especially since this game is still  in it's beta testing phase and shows such promise, and will no  doubtingly overtake WoW as the largest game played in the MMO gaming  industry.&lt;br /&gt;
