RIFT Goes Free-To-Play!

Trion Worlds announced that their hit MMORPG title, Rift, will now be free to play…Really?

“We have been listening to feedback from our players and watching the continuously developing MMO community, and are now ready to launch RIFT as a premium free-to-play experience,” said Bill Fisher, Creative Director of RIFT. “After taking our time and planning a careful transition; we are very excited to bring an enhanced game experience to everyone, without barriers.”

Normally, when a MMO goes Free-to-Play it means it’s having financial issues. Only a few that have made the transition are worth playing anymore (DCU Online, Champions Online, and a few others). Hopefully, this won’t be the case with Rift.

“As a gamer’s game, a super fun and fair experience is of the utmost importance to us,” said Fisher. “Players will have the opportunity to buy customizations and boosts to heighten their play experience; however the best gear in the game will always have to be earned through playing RIFT.” – Press

The best gear has to be earned? That’s good to hear. Well, at least now people who were on the fence about the cost can jump in and play now. Just in time to level up for the new Empyreal Assault update launching on June 12th!
