GameSpy published their second installment of their Massivity articles covering the MMO space. This latest article features our very own game, Rift! Go check it out...
Call me antisocial, but I have a soft spot for solo instances in massively multiplayer online games. Yes, I realize that this quirk means that I sometimes miss out on the whole "multiplayer" vibe, but sometimes -- just sometimes -- I like to enjoy my favorite virtual worlds without worrying about preteens griping about my damage or numbskulls breaking my crowd control spells. I can't be the only one. Thankfully, the new one-to-two-man dungeons in Trion Worlds' Rift are made for people like me. They're also more directly designed to seduce a quiet casual base that hasn't received much endgame attention in Telara until now, which could mean a significant boost to Rift's player base in the coming months.

They say Vengeance is a dish best served cold – but we felt that improving your experience in PvP was worthy of a Hot Fix. So with the next patch we are improving the way Valor is used and introducing a new PvP stat called “Vengeance.”Join the Discussion on the RIFT Official Forums!
Before we get into “What is Vengeance?” and the Valor changes involved, it’s easiest to understand after explaining why we are making changes to PvP Gear.
