Rift seemed like it might offer an interesting new dynamic, with Rifts opening up right next to places where the NPCs you need for your current quests are, forcing you to either join a big public raiding party to close the rift or to run away and go do something else for a while. But it quickly gets mechanical. I originally signed up for 6-months of Founder's pricing, but after playing a couple of days I cancelled my sub and plan to let it lapse after the included one-month trial. Overall, it's okay, but there just aren't many moments of amazement, and most gameplay consists of "go kill 10 XXX". The graphics are a bit shinier than your average previous-generation MMO, but there's very little that's actually new here.

WAR is a classic example of an MMO that had so much potential, utterly fail because of how it was managed. I wanted to love WAR so much, but the developers never listened to the warning signs the fans were giving them and continued screwing everything up and going as far as just deleting things they couldn't fix (like forts).

And I still can't believe the pile of crap they just gave the last remaining fans in the way of an "expansion" that screwed the game up even more. It's almost as if they've wanted it to fail from day 1.

I'm one of those that are saddened whenever an MMO dies and goes offline forever, but WAR is one where I'll be cheering good riddance the day it bites the dust.

Let me know if you need a hand grandpa

I kid, I kid. One of the nice things about Windows 7 is that you can gracefully motherboard swap by the way, even between different manufacturers. I upgraded my motherboard, CPU and SSD on the weekend, took about 10 minutes from hardware install to windows login.
