Former rift players, you’ve likely received an email from Trion regarding a welcome back week beginning today and lasting until July 19th. Excitedly (or with a simple motion of interest), you probably went to log in only to find yourself blocked by a “thank you for your interest, but you need to resubscribe” message.

[Update] I apparently picked the worst time to write this. The news is in, and server transfers will be allowed once a week, for free, and will allow even entire guilds to transfer including all of their items, titles, and achievements. Guild Leaders can move their guild and levels and perks. Hey, Rifters. It’s been … Continue reading “Rift: Free Weekly Transfers Coming in 1.3”

Before I begin, I wanted to talk about Rift and China, namely the statement flying around that Rift will never have a snowball’s chance at matching Blizzard’s subscriber numbers unless they release in China. The above statement is, of course, completely true. The issue this raises, however, is Rift’s odds at releasing in China, which … Continue reading “Rift: South Korea, and Let’s Talk China”

For all intent and purpose, the River of Souls event on Rift went rather smoothly, minus some intermittent issues with a few servers. On the other hand, the much touted second and third phase that the game had been working toward lasted all of a half hour last night. As one of the players who … Continue reading “Rift: River Of Souls Goes Out With A Fizzle…”
Rift has been at the top of my security hitlist for a couple weeks now, ever since Trion announced the release of Coin Lock, a security feature that, by their own admission, did little to improve security. Rather, in my own suggestions, I have always praised the mobile authenticators, noting that although they are not … Continue reading “Rift: Authenticator Now Available for iOS”
Once again, the folks at Trion are pulling in new players with yet another free weekend for friends of subscribers.

Do you have a friend looking into Rift who just doesn’t want to throw $50 down on the box, but doesn’t want to miss the event? If you … Continue reading “Play Rift? Have Friends Who Don’t?
