Rift News

In celebration of Rift’s One Year Anniversary we shall soon see a massive new world event appear on the servers.  We’re expecting the Carnival of the Ascended to show up March 29th (or thereabouts).  The Carnival features of course, a carnival, with ring toss and racing games, and lots of fun new prizes including new masks, elemental dragon balloons, and 2 beautiful new mounts!  There will be daily and weekly quests for the world event which has 6 phases leading up to the opening of a new 20-man raid in Patch 1.8.

There’s a great review of some of the Carnival features over at RiftJunkies.  I can’t wait!

As most Rift players know, player weddings have been added to the game with the most recent patch.  Trion is making an attempt at the Guinness Book of World Records for the most virtual weddings in a 24 hour period on Valentine’s Day.

Being the happy married couple that we are, Libation and I have decided to take part in the festivities and will be joining our characters in marriage on Tuesday February 14th at 8:30pm EST.  We’d love for any and all Silent Strike members and friends to join us.  There’s wedding favors and other fun things in game for the guests.

Even if you don’t have an active subscription you can download Rift Lite and join us – Post your character name on the comments on this forum so we can invite you, since trial accounts can’t whisper other characters.

Join Us for the Marriage of Saleny and Libation in Rift

Tuesday February 14th – 8:30pm EST
