I started playing Rift yesterday, seems quite decent. But it just doesn't really capture me right now.
Nothing like Spellborn, where I was hooked the moment I spoke to the first NPC (no kidding, Spellborn just had it's own style, and such a good music score).
But I'll see how it goes the next days.
Currently, I only can play until the 4th March, until the headstart is over and the "real" start begins, as I only have a key for the headstart. I can't even tell you which shard I am playing on, just selected one of the many and started playing.
Fun feature in Rift: You can connect the game to a Twitter account and it will tweet your game progress there
Nothing in there yet, but I got mine set up:
