Didn't TRION games make Rift?

Trion made rift, but they're only publishing this game for the American market. I think this game is made by a Korean developer.

They've kinda said they'll have a bigger role than the typical publisher though. There is a lot of difference in the MMO consumer here vs. Korea, and for a Korean port to be successful here it really needs an American company with some decision making power.

I remember them posting somewhere that they were only doing localization and business model stuff. Any changes to the game that they want are made by the Korean Dev. Pretty standard for mmo localization.

Trion addressed its level of control over the title in its relationship with developer XLGAMES and indicated that the Korean 1.0 patch changes will not be coming to the West: "We work with XLGAMES to understand and new features that are added to ArcheAge in the East to determine how well they will be accepted in our regions, and then offer feedback. XLGAMES has been fantastic in addressing that feedback as best as they can. In situations where a feature is added that we don't think will be appropriate for our audiences, we work with XLGAMES to modify or remove that feature from our version."

My friend signed up for that expensive alpha and said it was pretty boring and lot like the typical korean grinder you would imagine.

maybe they have added onto it but he said it was deff not a "next gen mmo"
