I think a lot of WoW players (myself included) are probably pretty curious about the game. Its been getting a lot of attention and publicity and I've been hearing a lot of good things from other MMO players.

That being said, I've also seen a very large amount of "zomgz RIFT is totally gonna be the WoW killer" and I just don't buy it. People can say what they want about Cata, but I've never been having more fun with WoW in the 3 years I've been playing this game.

On top of this, RIFT looks to be near-unplayable on my crappy hardware, and everytime I've tried a new MMO I get driven away purely due to the often rampant WoW-hating that tends to go on. And while the game does seem to be pretty similar with WoW, it also seems to be positioning itself to parallel and compete with WoW, which means there will likely be no shortage of "omfg this is so much better than WoW, why does anyone play that shitty game anymore" in-game.

And honestly I'd rather the queue talk about *something* than just three short-answer questions and nothing else. RIFT seems to be the first game that's in beta and still "in competition" with WoW, so its understandable for people to be curious.
