The gameplay is so brilliant

Hi, I just wanted to say that as a newcomer (level 27 mage chloromancer, and pyromancer with the other spec atm) I've never seen a MMO with such a well thought out gameplay, it's just so great.
I don't know where to start but off the top of my head, so far I love:


-the soul system and how much variety it gives, I mean you can pretty much play a class any way you want, what other MMO gives you 9 talent trees for each class? Amazing.
Leveling is so exciting because as you spend your points you get new talents and also new perks, again what a brilliant idea. You really feel like your character is becoming more proficient at their spec thanks to that.


-the number of roles you can have and how easy it is to switch between them. I mean, I don't know any other MMO where you can have 6 different specs and switch between in the blink of an eye, such a cool system.
I particularly love the fact that you don't lose your mana as a caster upon switching roles, unlike Wow where switching spec was painful as a caster. Another great idea.


-respec cost doesn't go up each time you do it, but instead it goes up depending on how much points spent you have. What a smart choice, I'm the kind of player that loves to respec all the time to mix things up and experiment with specs to see what works best, and I've always been annoyed that I couldn't really do it in Wow without bankrupting myself.
Here, not a problem especially at low levels where you don't really know what you're doing, screwed up your spec? No worries you can respec for low amount of money.


-macros are so good, the amount of optimization you can achieve through macros in this game is mind-blowing, much better than macros in Wow.


-the gameplay is so smooth and responsive, andcoming from SWTOR I can really appreciate the value of having a responsive and fast paced gameplay, I'm not going to bash on that game though as it's not my point

Okay that's all I can think of right now, but I'm really happy I decided to try this game with the lite version, it made me subscribe and I can safely say it has the best gameplay of any MMO I've played so far, well done Trion you can be proud

I for one couldn't agree more. Every game has its moments of frustration, but in Rift they are far fewer than in other games. welocme to Telara!
