I've also cancelled my subs and haven't played WoW in a little over a
month. 

The thing that made me cancel was the big lag spikes that I often got
which meant that I couldn't progress to running instances on my healer
or tank because I was paranoid of them causing a wipe.

Whilst I was away from WoW I thought that I'd give Rift a go.  Even if
I got the lag spikes, I would still have a lot of solo play that I
could do so I thought that the purchase price was worth it.  It turns
out that I don't get the lag spikes in Rift so I'm happy playing that
for now.  If/when I get tired of it I might investigate the WoW lag
spikes but that won't be for a while I don't think.

Yes, the group has been good for me too.  It has often been the
driving force behind my resurrecting a long-parked alt (my Rogue after
a thread about when to use your trinket against a Rogue in PvP and my
Mage and Warlock after threads about certain specs)

I must say, I'm really missing a similar forum of discussion for Rift.
The official forums are similar in quality to the WoW forums - every
class is overpowered, every class is underpowered, cries about why
class X has been nerfed when class Y needed nerfing more, everyone
threatening to cancel their subs unless some part of the game is
improved, PvP guys complaining about lack of PvP content, PvE guys
complaining about griefing by the other faction etc.

That kind of rubbish doesn't happen here and that's what makes it a
great place to chat.


>PS. Any advice on FX trading welcomed :p

Buy low, sell high?  :P
