So I was a fan of WoW for a while, then DC Universe but for some reason MMO's never hold me up until end game where it really gets good. Do you guys think Rift will be able to hold on to people before it gets to endgame or will people just quit after awhile? 
 
Also, are there any trails? thanks.

From what I've played so far it seems like it could have a pretty dedicated fan base for a long time.  
It's definatly one of the better MMORPG's in a while.

Any way to try it out? "

You probably should have jumped on that a couple of weeks ago, when Open beta was going on.  
As of right now, I do not believe there is a trial version, since it just came out.  
They're sorting out their hour long Queue times right now.
I'm willing to bet this MMO wouldn't be able to hold onto you for long. Just a guess though.

Rift? *looks up game* I honestly have no idea. I've never really looked into Rift before (mainly because it's an MMORPG) and the one teaser I saw wasn't very good. Of course, I'm the last person you want advice from when it comes to the quality of today's MMO's so... yeah. My answer is maybe.

My little brother really seems to enjoy it, but I haven't touched it myself. There will probably be some sort of 14/7day free trial or something there usually is.

if WoW didn't hold your attention, then this most likely won't either.  WoW did hold mine, and Rift is doing the same.  The main difference between the two (from what I've seen so far) is the fact that there is a lot of open world events going on.  It's not enough to sell a game to someone who wouldn't typically like the rest of it, but it's a nice addition.  

- Do you guys think Rift will be able to hold on to people before it gets to endgame   

 - or will people just quit after awhile?    

 - Also, are there any trails? thanks. "

  If you have trouble finding an MMO to stick with, it may not be the particular MMOs, but just something about MMOs in general that doesn't hold your interest enough.   Rift will hold on to people, yes, though of course some will quit before endgame.  That's simply the way of all MMOs.  Will it hold on to you?  Probably not.  There won't likely be any trials for a while, unless you can get a hookup from someone who is currently playing, and maybe they received a recruit a friend trial code.  But MMOs generally don't start their free trials until the game has been out for a while.

Well, its basically WoW. The popular description seems to be "its for people who like WoW, but are tired of playing WoW." Something along those lines. Its the same gameplay and what not, but different method to doing things.  I'm just guessing that it wouldn't hold onto you for long based on the short time I've "known" you. I've noticed you don't like to stay in one place for long and like moving to the next newest thing. "

It's not WoW. Why does everyone think that? At what point in WoW does 15 portals open up and enemies stream through taking over towns killing all the quest npcs until they get taken out by a group of players? There are only 2 things like WoW in this game. The fact that there are two factions, and the UI. "

The pre-Cataclysm event had elementals shut down major cities until players took care of them. All of the NPCs straight up despawned. That happened every few hours. "

Because WoW is the biggest MMO, people assume that every MMO is just lifted from WoW.  Forget that there were even any predecessors to WoW. "

" @ttocs: That particular post didn't have much of a purpose. I just gave an impression of what I thought of the game from the couple of teasers that I watched. Nothing about it looked outstanding, but I also wanted to make it clear that I don't generally play MMO's. You know, put things in perspective. "

Ever Quest.... Ultima Online.... Star Wars Galaxies... oh wait, not Galaxies.. "

its a little like wow but way more modern and better imo i think wow 
 
wow was the best mmo ever made back in vanilla wow but when burning crusade got out it just got downhill from there now its like the farmville of mmos way to noob friendly  and simpel IMO
 
rift looks awsome and it has a large team working on it so yes i think so from what i played in the beta ( a cuple of hours) its by far the most fun i have had with an mmo since wow  
 
i would have gotten rift on day one if it wasnt for my fucking pc who is acting like a retard and crashes randomly at many games (something wrong with my screen settings) 
 
if you have a decent pc get it now or maby wait until it goes on sale on steam 
 
anyway here is a trailer  
  

Do you out level zones like you do in WoW?
