No. But it's a fun game nevertheless.
Why you ask? Well, for example, there is no established character base, it has cookie cutter typical modern fantasy setting plot cliches and has a user interface that is an exact copy of WoW. Classes seemed to lack depth to me.

No MMO will ever kill another MMO: Runescape and Everquest are still going strong, Eve Online still exists, there are probably people who still play Aion, LotRO went free and people play it....etc etc etc.

Kill WoW? No. Be a competitor yes.

LOL It's this thread again.
But no. Rift is a good game, but WoW players arn't going to go out of their way to quit WoW and start fresh on Rift.

I still know a few people that bounce around to Anarchy Online, Asherons Call, and SW:G
And as far as Rift goes? Ill try the open beta just cause, but I doubt I'll buy the retail version and pay a monthly fee on it when I already have 6 toons in their 80s and 2 in their 70s heh, plus Cata just came out.

Heh, they were covered under the etc etc etc as even with 45000 character limit, it's not possible to list them all.
Also: FFXI FFIV are out there as well.

And I hear they suck, badly.Have you ever played them? As I've heard people say that 'WoW sucks *insert MMO name(was mainly Guild Wars) here* rules'. I've watched some of my friends play FFXI, and I honestly was considering picking it up as well; I like the lore of the game, I like the class choices, and I like some of the aspects, but I mainly stick with WoW because I'm a cheap bastard and I only want to pay-play one game at time.

I tried out the newest one awhile ago, and I've watched several videos on it as well. It was really, really boring and took a lot of walking.

/shrug Yet people still play them, so just as those who have negative views of WoW don't touch them, nice they have alternatives to go to.

FFXI was pretty bad imo, and, yes, I played it. I haven't played FFXIV, just because I don't have the time to try out as many games as I used to, so I can't say much in that regard

I can't say much as I haven't played it, but if my friends had switched from WoW to it, I would have as well. I just figured we'd all do well to remember that lots of people say things, but not all of them are true. I have no thoughts on Rift as I don't intend to play it, but I watched a video of a zone invasion today and was laughing my ass off at how much fun it look like.

Rift...
Well, after trying to play it for most of the day (open beta and all that)... It's good and I can see where it's going, and I like, what is essentially, a class creation system.
But I don't think it will "kill WoW" or even really be a competitor... I actually forsee it going strong for a bit and then going f2p in the same way that LOTRO did.
