I just want to say this to the developers, build upon the lessons learned from FFXI and you'll do fine. You had alot of great concepts and idea there, don't toss them out just for more mass market appeal. You're client base will come from people who love Final Fantasy and those who are tired of the current MMO trend.
I know this has been and will be said a billion times but Rift to me felt like a exact copy of wow with a new mob table, more detailed classes and tenticle spewing portals.

I played it in first beta and again in open beta and both times I got bored after staer missions.
