Trion Worlds is one of the few remaining MMORPG developers with enough nerve to take on World of Warcraft directly. These days, even older MMORPGs like Lord of the Rings Online are relaunching as free-to-play, microtransaction-driven experiences. Rift isn't exactly one of a dying breed, but it is up against some pretty stiff competition in a space that's already oversaturated."
Players can progress through 30 levels of challenges by completing daily and weekly quests, thus earning Battle Pass experience points and rewards. The Battle Pass can be played for free and will reward players with various consumables and a set of artifacts that will literally make their pants burn – the “Pants on Fire” effect
gamigo is pleased to announce it has assembled a hefty collection of in-game events, quests and items for the “Budgie Carnival Celebration” in its fantasy MMORPG, RIFT.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the Hellbugs have reared their ugly heads once again to invade Rift. It’s up to players to fight these hellish creatures to save Telara – and in doing so – earn a number of unique rewards that will display their dominance over the Hellbugs.
