Instead you macro all your instant/on next hit abilities and spam 3 macros.It has changed a lot since beta though, still a wow clone, but if you prefer something with more then 3 abilities to press like every new action mmo has it isn't all bad.

^ Us too, though one or two of us are buying Storm Legion I think. But I think you get to keep your trial when F2P launches.
No hope of getting Vaarna_Aarne, Mystary! and the rest of the NW-crew to join the darkside for a spell?

Heavy use of macro was something that bothered me as well when Rift launched, but 1) you don't have to do it if you don't like it and 2) they reworked all souls and macros aren't really needed anymore. But yes, you can always pick your faceroll class and press 3 buttons if you want, but don't tell me there are mmos where this is different or that Rift is especially easy in this regard.
Since I've played Rift a bit, I'll give some pointers for everyone thinking of jumping on.
- The player base has pretty much abandoned PvP and the PvP servers are almost dead. Open world PvP is dead. It's in effect a PvE game.
- The most populous server on EU side is Icewatch with a good amount of players. Back in January when I last played, the endgame was filled with zone events gathering 100+ players at peak times.
- Server transfers are free. Once a week you can move your char to a different server. This is a reason why a lot of guilds and players have moved to Icewatch and made it *the* EU server. I remember some foreign guilds from German/French servers moving to Icewatch in their entirety.
- Does not matter which side you roll on. Blues (religious freaks) or Reds (techies). Everyone can guild, group, chat, sail on boats together. I prefer the red starting zones and their city design. Expansion city is shared.
I'm on Icewatch, IIRC, it was a good server back then too.- The most populous server on EU side is Icewatch with a good amount of players. Back in January when I last played, the endgame was filled with zone events gathering 100+ players at peak times.

Red starting zones are WAY better, blue starting zones/story are boring generic High Fantasy shit, while as a Red you basically pull a Terminatoresque time travel and are basically a tech-fuelled ubermench. Which is better and why?- Does not matter which side you roll on. Blues (religious freaks) or Reds (techies). Everyone can guild, group, chat, sail on boats together.

Another tip while we're at it, though mind you, this may have changed since I played:
- Collecting and selling artifacts to collectors is a good way to make cash. In a week, I gathered enough to buy a proper mount and several epics, which is a really good pace. Just undercut the other sellers by a little bit (or match them, whatever) and you're good. More rare artifacts obviously bring in more cash.

You guys...
I have an old character but I'll probably start over from scratch because I don't remember anything about the game. So what server for EU?

I can't decide which base class to play. Warrior is very tedious, rogue is nice (but 70% of the game population are rogues) and I'm not too sure about mage.
So what server for EU?
