Funny you should mention this. I'm a annual subber (I really like Rift and it only costs me ~99 a year). It comes on my computers, gets played for 3-4 months, and I move on. I came back again in January-March, and as we speak I'm re-downloading it. I don't do ANY game fulltime anymore but between the really good developer, and a pretty good game, it keeps me coming back. I liken it to Elder Scrolls, you play it, and move on. But you eventually come back.
I played in the 1st and 2nd quarter this year.
Most recent fun thing? Hmmm ...let me think ....how about being told to go Bard or be kicked from the guild because Rogue tanks are not wanted. Thats when I quit the game and that was the most recent fun thing I did in Rift.
payed last month , but played like 10 days :S , meh still hate the "macro system" .....spaming 3 buttons isnt fun :S (more than 3 but yeah....)
i played as warrior and rogue tank ....
I use more than 3 macros. I used up all of my macro slots on a single toon. I never only use 3 action bar slots.
I do use macros. But macros are only a predefined rotation.
sometimes you have to mix up rotations for extra effects. but never macro my CC.
what your macros and builds look like?

Haven't really stopped since beta, barring a few "couple week" breaks from gaming entirely. With 1.9 this week and the expansion coming, I'm not going anywhere.
Most fun thing I've been doing very recently is randomly choosing someone in PvP and just killing or trying to kill them over and over until i eventually (sometimes) get a quad on me and then play cat n mouse.
Originally i never strayed from the objective, but damn.. When you're about the only person trying to actually WIN the match it can get tiresome. So that's my fun lately, other than my awesome guild - but that's always fun.
It's an excellent time to get back into Rift.
Honestly, I cannot get enough of Conquest on the test server. when this hits the live servers on Wednesday, people are going to have a lot of fun. I have also been playing a lot of the special weekend warfronts. I can't stand the PVP gear grind, but at least these give bonus favor and prestige. Less grinding is promised in conquest as there are not 3 seperate factions to deal with, which is a good thing. People can pick one and be loyal to it.
This is the first game since WOW that has kept my interest for more than a year. SWG, UO and DAOC also kept me interested for years.
Trion is the best I have ever seen in releasing new content at a pretty fast pace and know it's what keeps me interested. I am also amazed at Storm Legion coming out this year. WOW takes a year a half from announcing an expansion and releasing it! I hate that. I am super psyched for Storm Legion!!!
I am the same way. I only play one toon, a rogue, and use a couple of macros for building and finishers, but other wise there are to many utility abilities to choose from. I fill up my action bar with debuffs and escape buttons for PVP. I like to run assassin and sneak up from behind. I use MM a lot also.
For HK raiding I use ranger, and have most abilities macroed. I wish ranger had an interupt, it's the only bad thing about it.
i think i played the first quarter for less than 1 month. Most funny thing that happened to me? I bought that month and played like 2 days.
EDIT: my bad, it was second Quarter of 2011. Only played 2 days out of that month because i was going out of the country for last summer and totally forgot about it when purchased the month 2 days before the trip
