It seems 2011 will be the battle of MMO supremecy; World of Warcraft is still going strong, DC Universe Online has launched a successful campaign but lurking in the shadows is Trion Worlds’ latest release RIFT. We were lucky enough to get a hands on with the Beta that is live this weekend for invited guests only, and so far it seems RIFT could be the shot in the arm the genre really needs.

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.
