Hey there Rift players, new player here. I was always a WoW type of guy and right now am looking to get into some other games, trying to be open for everything. I always loved Rift's Souls system and heard the raids were brutal but very fun, which intrigues me about its current state. I've read that many people still like the game and I'd love to join them but I have some questions about endgame which probably have been asked a billion times, but I couldn't find anything about them right away in one concise spot.
...So here we go.
Now I am asking as a Semi-Casual player: What's raiding like right now?
I know that raids are still a thing and I'd like to know how they work in more detail. Are there multiple difficulties? How hard is the hardest one? I don't need raids to be super punishing but if everything's a boring pushover then I'll probably not stick around for long. What PVE content is there besides raids?
Also, while I am at it, is there any class that is particularly good/bad at a certain role? I love how Support is a set role in RIFT but would also like to try out tanking and DPSing.
How important are Dungeons right now? Several MMORPGs I enjoy introduced some sort of scaling system for dungeons to become harder and drop better gear which I quite enjoy, but I also am fine with the older systems of dungeons being reasonably difficult and leading into raids.
And since I'm asking stupid questions, which server has the biggest population? Is there a big divide for EU or does it not matter?
Thanks in advance for any and all answers, have a good one.
