I've been looking at grabbing this game for a while, but the reviews are all generic and don't really get indepth.

Is anyone on the forums playing it? If so, how does it stack up against WoW? And what would be some of the differences?

There's a trial if you want to test it out. https://www.riftgame.com/en/products/mmo-free-trial/?affiliateId=googna10010&gclid=CLSJtsCc_6kCFROAgwodbAi3xg

It was too much like WoW so I couldn't play it for more than an hour.

I played it and oddly enough it made me want to play Aion.

Which I did, and Aion is awful.

RIFT just has too much skill bloat and playing a class without a heal is BRUTAL.

I played and got to 47(out of 50). I hated when people called it a WoW clone, but it really was. The rift invasions and the soul system were both fantastic though.
