It must be Christmas. Rift, the MMO that served as one of the few remaining bastions of an age of subscription-only MMOs, has announced that it will be making the transition this June. June 12th to be exact. What can players expect to get for free? As far as core content goes, everything:
All of our content is available completely for free: every quest, every chronicle, every dungeon, every continent, every level, and every raid. You can level to 60 without spending a dime. You can earn the best gear in the game without giving us a credit card. No tricks; no traps.
The Rift cash shop will sell boosts, mounts, costumes, treasure boxes, etc. Trion has revealed that gear will be available for sale with the best gear only available in-game as drops. Massively.com has an excellent interview with Bill Fisher at the link below.
