How much of the game can I see as a 5 box? Is it a quality game that will always be challenging and not totally repetitive? and can a 5 box accomplish a lot?
If so, what group makeup do you guys recommend to really be able to see the most of the game? (I consider myself highly skilled single group multi boxer just FYI)
Thanks in advance.
RIFT is as close to a WoW clone as you're going to get, but as for it not being repetitive... well, I think every MMO has to be repetitive in some way so that people keep playing the game.
I haven't done much multiboxing in RIFT at all, but it's definitely on my radar and I'll hopefully get to it sooner than later.

1) Does combat break autofollow?
2) Can I reuse character names as I experiment in the early levels if I delete the Character? I hate to waste a good name on a one-use basis while I don't know what I'm doing.
3) I'm looking at a Tank, Mage, Mage, Mage, Cleric. The specs on the character creation screen don't match the official site
http://www.riftgame.com/en/characters/warrior/. For example on my warrior screen, I have Righteous Defender, Lord of War (locked), Overlord, Fury (locked), Auramancer (locked), Beastlord (locked). Did Trion rename the specs and not update the website?
1) I do not believe so
2) Yes
3) I believe you're confusing sub-classes with souls? Souls, such as Paragon, Paladin, Riftblade, etc are part of your
"talent tree" (WoW term) and they are very customizable (it's one of the best things about this game). Beyond that, I cannot give an answer for certain, but I believe the difference between something like Righteous Defender and Overlord are the Souls which you start off with in your "talent tree." Some of these Souls are behind a pay wall due to an expansion or whatever, and once they're unlocked the other sub-classes will become available, but you
can switch between these Souls either at will, or for a small fee, so I don't think you're ever really locked to a certain sub-class.
