That's where most MMO's shoot themselves in the foot nowadays.
To easy to level up while not having a sufficient endgame in place.
Well, yes and no

Well, yes and noDAOC had it right tbh, fast PVE straight into a nicely designed PVP. Sadly most mmo's dont have good end game these days (as you said) if they could just balance it out so the PvE doesnt take forever/drone on and the end game was appealing/long lasting they'd make a killing.
daoc pve was a killer
30 days played was pretty standard for first lvl 50's

Only for the very first wave of 50's
I followed shortly after the first wave, with 24 days played, lgm( or close to) AC and about rr5 on my Heroine. That time was halved pretty fast for the ppl that followed.

Dude I dont know about you but when I leveled Zorena in 2002 i 20days played to 50..Well, yes and noDAOC had it right tbh, fast PVE straight into a nicely designed PVP.

Players and devs alike need to relearn that max level is NOT where the game starts, it starts at level 1.
I would disagree in so far as all the other levels should be a build up, perhaps a learning-your-class experience culminating in "the game" at max level. Otherwise the rest of the levels are pointless imo.
Rift is decent, its still fun, for a lot of people. dont understand why people buy a game, try to win in 3 weeks, then get bored.
For me it was the simple fact that it could be done in 3 weeks. I only played it casually and reached 50 in just over 3 weeks rl time. I felt once I was 50 I couldn't really find much more to do that was fun
I also found a lot of the game to be very similar to WOW, while that's not always a bad thing as WOW is a fairly well made game, it felt a little like WOW-lite. Same 'system' on a different map, but not as fun.
imo, the problem is , people have been playing MMOs so long, their memory is a mish mash of various games, giving them this "ultimate" concept, and when anything (everything ?) fails to reach that standard, its "shite"
well, if you actually take the rose tinted goggles off, most of them are very similar, especially the really old ones people bang on about; eq, daoc, ao, etc, etc

l2 slow down, enjoy the journey, and take it at face value, instead of comparing it to a mythical game concept that doesnt exist
Until they add some proper openworld rvr/pvp system it is never really going to take off, all it really has right now is warfronts, the pvp in pve zones over pathetic wardstones is a joke.
