The guild is dead because when all the guys leveled up and cleared some dungeons for gear, they decided it's not moving fast enough and simply left for other guilds. Very lame.
As for the game, the player base is big enough, there are new players joining all the time, but the amounts of people that left the game like me after the first month or so are incredible.
The game is about dungeon grind and PvP grind. There is nothing fun once you hit 50. Absolutely nothing fun. The only way of progressing in Rift is by doing dungeons and gearing up, then you have a choice, either continue with dungeons in your fascist guild or PvP as a lone wolf until you can buy PvP gear so you can grind even better.
Open world PvP does not exist, there are no places where you can go alone or with a few friends to kill some enemies of your own level. Open world PvP goes as far as getting ganked when you're leveling up, after 50, no such thing.
If you love MMORPG games, this is not for you. Rift is for casuals and 'gamer girls'. Combat is stupid easy, for all classes the rotation can be put in a couple of macros. The soul system is a lie. You can't play as you want, you have to follow the best builds there are or you wont be in a guild, never mind doing dungeons.
I'm playing Aion once again, but this time on european servers. The new update fixed all the faults people hated and the next 3.0 update will bring tons of new content (underwater cities
). I'm sticking with that for now, it's a really fun game, and leveling up is an adventure + the production value is so much higher than rift.

I highly doubt the game will die....maybe in five years or more it will probably go F2play like most mmo's that end up going that way. I really enjoy the leveling experience so far and i love the random rifts that pop up and throw you into a massive battle and you join up with everyone its really fun.
I think the macros are awesome whats the point of having to click 4 keys when i can fit more abilitys on my hotbar by using macros?
There is no skill in remembering where the four keys are but i find by mixing around my macros for different situations i can be more stratigic in my attacks.
Anyway my opinion is probably worthless as i would consider myself a casual gamer.0 -

I take exception to this. The guild died simply because recruitment had stagnated. With 4 top guilds on the server at the time, all of whom had poached 90% of the hardcore players - meant that no guild was going to have the player base to raid. Our guild was no exception. Combined with the fact that I and the other founders started the game with friends and had every intention of playing in a group - meant that everybody else felt that they were being unfairly treated - because we weren't bringing them on 5-man runs; all of these factors combined meant that we felt it best to leave the guild. We still left it there as a boards casual guild - but casual, I ain't.
