RIFT Adopts “First Twenty Levels Are Free” Model

RIFT Adopts “First Twenty Levels Are Free” Model

None

Trion Worlds announced today that they would be allowing gamers to access more of their hit MMO RIFT for free. A new version of the game, called RIFT Lite, will allow people to experience the first twenty levels of character development at no cost and with no playtime restrictions. Anyone with a Trion Worlds account can download and play the game, and it comes complete with all current patches and updates.

Scott Hartsman, Executive Producer of RIFT and Trion Worlds’ CCO, explained the motivation behind the change: “In the past ten months, RIFT has evolved at a breakneck pace, through seven massive updates that set new expectations for live MMOs, in features, in content, and in service. We think a Lite edition with no time limit is the best way for players to see what an amazing experience RIFT continues to be.”



In addition to this new lite version of the game, RIFT has been updated to 1.7. Trion Worlds’ official press release lists the new features as such:

  • PvP Improvements – Smoother advancement and better rewards

  • Ascended Weddings – Share eternity with your soulmate, Telara-style

  • River of Souls Chronicle – Undead adventure for two

  • New Master Mode Dungeon – Caduceus Rise.

  • Expert Dungeon Overhaul – More options, better loot!

  • Better Endgame Equipment – Improved loot for your endgame Ascended
