Not even close lol - Unless you can point me into the direction of beastmen or general enemies assaulting cities trying to steal an important artifact that when stolen unlocks a special arena fight against them + their leader? Or a series of "fates" that pushes you and your allies closer to assaulting the lair of the lead villain? Or a tiered dungeon that changes based on level cap selected and military rank..?

Yeah, it's not even close lol.

Yeah, Rift came after XI lol. (even WoW did, but these particular systems were done a bit better in XI compared to earlier iterations in the 90s MMOs.)
