I was doing almost full clear of all T1 raids, most bosses of T2 and 3/4 minibosses of T3 on 7 characters, 3 of whom were on NA side.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Rift deserves better. because its still very good as a game. the game-play feels like classic wow. the story is there but not all up in your face like final fantasy 14 or world of Warcraft now days. the game does not have that much to do like Guild wars 2 witch is a + for playing with people also the zones are made for people in discord meaning most of the quests are not voice acted and you go from zone to zone with a friend or friends clearing quest hubs just chilling on your way to level cap with a very little bit of voice acted story thrown in for some spice but not enough to get in the way of people playing together like some more modern mmorpg. the art style still holds up today mostly. all and all it's a good game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I went from playing alone to being a part of one of several hardcore progression raiding guilds, spending hours in-game, grinding, having fun and downing next to impossible raid bosses with my friends and guild members.
