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).

When Darkfall launched last year, it was met with some heavy issues. Not only was the game virtually un-buy-able for months post-release, but there were many game-breaking bugs. That being said, following endless patches, and two expansion packs, the Darkfall of today is very different from the Darkfall that launched in 2009.
With the game’s first birthday on the horizon, Aventurine is continuing their effort to make the newbie experience more enjoyable: Namely removing the requirement to buy the game just to get a sampling of its flavors. Starting today, players with new accounts have the option to buy the Darkfall Trial, a seven day romp through Agon that costs a mere one dollar.
On the downside, you need a credit card to purchase this. On the other hand, this is in place so players do not abuse it to aid their main accounts, and players who do abuse it can be tracked down to their real accounts to receive swift judgement. Requiring a credit card will also prevent the gold farmers the game has done so well holding back this past year.
If you haven’t had a chance to try out Darkfall, and want some player vs player orientated gaming, check out the $1 demo. Head over to your local Darkfall website now! If you live in Greece, the magazine offer is still valid, I believe.
