It’s with a heavy heart that I have to admit that RIFT: Starfall Prophecy kind of let me down. I was really, genuinely looking forward to playing this expansion last fall, especially since I would get in on the ground floor at release. And while there were some great aspects of the release, such as the concept and some of the quest lines, the overall product felt half-baked and the combat became such a slog that I gave up three zones into it.
I’m sure this has happened to all of us at some point. We get really hyped and excited for an MMO expansion, drinking in all of the promise that the devs feed us… and then that anticipation is deflated by the actual release. It just doesn’t live up to our standards or it has some major issues. You look at it and say, “Son, I am disappoint.”
When you look back at your MMO gaming career, what expansion turned out to be a disappointment to you? What could have been done better by the dev team?
