I'm still playing but due to a shard conversion/forced transfer I am now on Belmont. I've been raiding regularly and we are currently working on Hammerknell, a tier 2, 20-man raid. All other raid instances are on farm status. I am not big on raiding and this is the longest any MMO has kept my interest even though Rift isn't a great game. I'm not sure what keeps my interest, perhaps it is the new content that Trion keeps pushing out.
New players might be pleased to hear that 1.5 will introduce small group, end game content and more non-raid challenges for casual gamers. Thus far most of the new content since release has been directed at raiders: River of Souls, Gilded Prophecy, Drowned Halls, Hammerknell, and PVP rifts. Also planned are another tier of the existing 5-man dungeons on par with the challenge/rewards of tier 1 raids, and a new tier 2, 10-man raid.
