TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS FREE EXPANSION WEEKEND!!! You read that right: if you log in and haven’t obtained the expansion yet, you get a free copy to keep forever. EASY, right? Right! So, log in. Play. Get the expansion free and check out all the awesome new content you’ve been missing. It really doesn’t get a whole lot better than that. Oh wait… maybe it does! Read on. Want to know why we’re calling RIFT 4.0 Prophecy of Ahnket now? Check out our most recent Producer’s Letter! INCREDIBLE LOG-IN BONUS Already got the expansion? Thank you so much for supporting the ongoing development of RIFT! We want to make sure you get something amazing, in addition to the prospect of having even more people to play with in the celestial lands! Everyone who logs in during the special promo weekend will receive a Prophecy of Ahnket Cache claimable on one of their characters! This incredible pack is stuffed full of awesome items. Seriously, check it out: - 2 Tenebrean Engines (this will help progress your Eternal Item quest) - 100 Phenomenal Sparkles (Patron-only quest items that help you earn a piece of high level gear every month) - 10 Individual Reward Charges (used to claim great gear drops in our raids) - 1 White Deer Companion Pet (ok, so she doesn’t have any stats… we can all appreciate the beauty in life!) - 1 Random Puzzle Box Dimension Item (for your Telaran home) IMPORTANT: The Prophecy of Ahnket Cache is available on the RIFT Store ONLY during this promotion, May 10 – 14. Remember that it can be claimed by ONE character on your account, and is not transferable. Make sure you log in your preferred character before you claim it. As with the free expansion promo, it all goes away at 11:59 PM PDT on May 14th, so do not delay!

Going forward, RIFT 4.0 will be known as Prophecy of Ahnket. This name change will be reflected in game, on our website, in future emails, on ads, etc. And... that’s it, really. The only thing changing is the name.  It is more evocative of the lore - we hope you like the new name as much as we do! Why the change? We've recently become acquainted with a terrific children's educational charity called the Starfall Education Foundation, and we want to make sure that the names are not confused. This also gives us the chance to start a new page in the history of RIFT by offering the expansion for FREE to anyone who logs in over the coming weekend! Help us get the word out by whatever means necessary! Tell your friends, your frenemies, your random acquaintances on the street - we want everyone to take part! Of course, no matter how excited we are about this, we’ve got to get back to work. 4.2 isn’t going to design itself. - Raid updates don’t end with Intrepid Rise of the Phoenix!  The guys are now circling back preparing the “normal mode” version of Tartaric Depths for those who appreciate a bit more of a challenge. - Vladd has the Planar Fragment system under the microscope.  Expect some massive changes to the system over the coming months. - The new Primalist Souls are still underway (remember, you get these at no additional cost if you already own or purchase the current Primalist soul pack!) - Revisions to class balance continue apace - remember to post your thoughts on the PTS  forums as to how they are going there - PTS is your chance to take the soul revisions for a test run! Make sure you tune in to our weekly livestreams at the new time of 11:30 AM PDT every Friday, for the latest news, fun times and giveaways! We are now streaming simultaneously across Twitch (twitch.tv/trionworlds), Facebook (facebook.com/RIFTgame), Twitter (@RIFTgame) and YouTube (youtube.com/RIFTmmo). See you there! ~Archonix and the RIFT Team
