So this week I got a chance to put together a nice little dungeon guide for a handful of the first few instances in RIFT. I was pretty impressed with how they compared with pre-cata lowbie instances, but until my group has to defeat a slobbering biped who takes shelter in a bubbling cauldron, I'm not quite sold...

You have to be kidding me, I deleted Rift from my rig not even an hour ago for thinking beta was over

I'm sure you're not the first. That beta is supposed to go on until the 21st I believe, after that then the servers will wiped of all characters until the head start (for those of you who were awesome enough to preorder) on the 25th.

Rift is positioning itself as a WoW-killer. I saw a skyscraper ad yesterday on some other site that said, "We're not in Azeroth anymore" or something to that effect. This, to me, says that Rift sucks and the people who made it know it. If they had ANY confidence in their product at all, they'd be satisfied with a positive campaign promoting their own game, rather than putting ads out there that try to denounce preceding games without which Rift wouldn't even be here.
you couldn't be more off, it means they have a good marketing group, lets see out off all commercials you see everyday and what not you remembered the Rift one and because of what it said it made you mention it here which means anyone curious for what your talking about can see the commercial on youtube who may not have seen it otherwise, also general MMO sites had links to their commercial due to that 1 line.
Just think of all the free advertising they got and all the people who would never have heard of the game if not for those few lines causing MMO sites and people like you to mention it.
Just think how many advertisements you see a day, and you happen to remember this one and not just that but that same advertisement also did something which made you mention it to other people who may now watch said advertisement, that isn't a lack of confidence that's just being smart on their part
Actually, YOU couldn't be more off. Negative publicity doesn't work for things you're trying to sell. Now, instead of no opinion, I have a negative opinion of the game. Of course, again, the fact that it's a mashup of games that came before it and that there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of innovation pretty much makes the game hamstring itself. *shrug* Time will tell.

the thing is it ISN'T negative advertising, it just says "we're not in azeroth anymore" what's negative about that, it's simply poking fun at WoW a bit it isn't doing anything negative at all.
And your right it isn't doing anything game breakingly innovative, but neither did WoW and now it's the top MMO by a huge margin, you don't need to reinvent the wheel to make a good MMO, you just need to improve upon what's been done before.
all WoW did was take the features no one liked out of games like DaoC EQ etc. put in what people did like and then put in more polish than any of the major MMO before it had
like you put it WoW wasn't really much more than a "mashup of games that came before it"

Im both tired of RIFT, and WoW... and im sad about it.
Saying this about a game in beta is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
What do you mean, ive been playing the last 3 betas, and when im tired of MMO's in general then how can it be dumb.

I don't think anyone is holding a gun to your head. Unless they are. Then that might be a bit disturbing.
