So Sprawl, How is Rift in your opinion? Is there pvp?
Here is my review!
http://zsprawl.com/wp/2010/12/ign-rift-the-closed-beta-experience/
The PvP so far is in the Warfronts (aka battlegrounds) and regular PvP rules in the open world. It's pretty much like WoW, except I never have a clue what my enemy is going to do...
OMG! OMG! They have Bards!!??
I wanted to stop reading because it looked so cool! But I jump on every new game bandwagon thinking it will be the best and then come back to wow. But wth? I will prolly jump on this one too.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

Agreed. I enjoyed bards quite a bit. It's a lot more interesting than what other games tried to make bards into. It's a lot funner having your "music" be your source of power for your abilities and damage than just some obscure buffs.

If you were to call Global Agenda an MMO then it would have the best loot system.
Every kill auto loots it's belongings into your inventory.

DAOC does this, but you have to be within a certain range when the mob dies, or you'll have to pick up the loot off the ground. Then there's the fact that daoc is limping along on one wheel these days population wise... At least WoW has autoloot, my goodness, you guys need to play AC. Most loot is random number generated, so you have to check almost every piece, to an extent anyway, and there's no built in autoloot at all without using 3rd party programs.
Though I agree AoE looting does sound pretty sweet, I don't find looting in WoW to be as big of a pain as it is to some I guess. On the flip side, I don't see the point in keeping WoW looting from being more automatic either. They've added so many conveniences to the game, I'm kind of surprised they haven't added aoe looting, or straight up automatic looting like DAOC.

I find AoE looting superior to autoloot of everything because I don't like to take all the trash. I like opening a single window with all the loot in the area, and then I can choose what to loot, or alternatively, hit auto-loot if I want it all. To me, this is the ideal looting in any MMO, ever.

Ahhhh! I did not realize it was AoE looting in the sense that it opens windows for all mobs in the vicinity, I thought it autolooted all mobs in the area.
Now I see why the Rift beta testers are liking the looting system. That IS convenient.
Thank you for clarifying.

To clarify further, if you kill 10 mobs, you don't get 10 windows.
You get 1 windows with all 10 mobs loot in it.

I'm still a little confused about what happens when there's multiple players involved in the killing then...
Are certain corpses assigned to each player, like WoW, and when you open your loot window, only those mobs are included?

When my wife and I play, we have it on round robin need/greed, and what happens after we kill 10 mobs, is I loot one and get my 5 mobs of loot, and she loots her 5 mobs.
