WoW cost just as much when it came out. The sub fees work out to a similar price.
Haven't played the pvp, but the combat isn't clunky.

Rift would have been amazing if it came out 2-3 years ago. I've played the game. The art*graphics* is outdated and yes the combat system and animations for combat is less then fluid not to mention the game is borrowing heavily from other titles and doing nothing new with what its borrowing. The environments are dark and boring.
WoW is a standalone in the mmo genre. This title does nothing but build more success as it gets older. So yes the subscription fee's or preorder costs or just the cost for the box are justified. What Trion is trying to charge for the box of rift is not justified if you look at the titles coming out in this year. Gw2 is bringing a great degree of innovation and will be B2P then F2P...Tera will be P2P like Rift and is bringing better graphics and more innovation to the mmo genre.

@Loveless GW2 will be B2P then F2P so like a 1 time fee and then possibly buying the expansion packs of they release any. Not to mention Arenasoft is GREAT about keeping their games balanced and running ingame events for players. Since they own the game...and Dev the game you can expect great things from them.
