Trion is happy to celebrate Rift’s half-birthday. So happy, in fact that the developer is opening the game up to new and previous players alike, to enjoy the game free of charge for seven days. Starting when the servers come back up today (following a patch) and running through August 31st, you’ll be able to simply create an account or sign in with your existing account, and enjoy all that Rift has to offer. Current subscribers are not left in the dust, and will enjoy bonus experience including bonus guild experience.
Read more about the celebrations here, including information on some meta-game contests Trion has planned. The servers are expected to come back up around noon EST (GMT -5).
