I don’t think thats true. I think Rift is doing just fine. Is it the massive cash cow that WoW is? Probably not, but they have dynamic content, 3 Faction PVP, Meaningful PVE endgame progression for people that want it.. All in all Rift is a very nicely put together WoW clone that is a very viable alternative for people that are frustrated by how dumbed down WoW has gotten over the years.

I think that depends on what you call doing well, Rift (like many others) started off very well, since then is has lost a colossal amount of its population, especially on the PvP side, many of which went back to WoW.

Even after the recent expanison the group used to be on (EU English Language) is pretty dead, it has four servers, one of which is busy – Icewatch, the rest range between a ghosttown (Bloodiron – PvP server) and low pop (Blightweald), I would not describe a game where the population has collapsed in under two years as ‘doing well’.

Good read. Sadly I think this is falling on deaf ears. Ego is impossible to overcome.

Well, the fact that this topic has gotten this far without being Merged/locked/deleted might mean it’s being acknowledged.

Either that, or it’s serving as a “pressure valve” from the main merged topic still blowing up.

Just, please keep the comments civil, constructive, and insightful, guys.
