Heard there was a reroll event not too long ago in an attempt to bring players back and redo all the content like how it was meant to in 2013. What is it like now? Are those players already at 70?

I've been getting back into the RIFT community and wanted to hear from other players.

What do you enjoy most about RIFT these days?

• PvP

• Raids and dungeons

• Leveling and questing

• Exploring and collecting

• Playing with friends and meeting new people

I'm always interested in meeting other RIFT players and seeing what everyone is up to. Drop your favorite part of the game below!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm helping promote a fellow RIFT player and Twitch streamer named Keldsgig.

We're hoping to bring more people together around RIFT, build a stronger community, and organize some fun group gameplay events.

If you enjoy watching RIFT gameplay or want to participate in community events, we'd love to have you stop by!

Thanks, everyone! ❤️

So, I’m currently trying to make the whole refurbished mathosian cosmetic set. I was wondering if there are better ways of getting the tarnished pieces than just sitting at a mini-boss for hours.

Hey all, I've been wanting to get back into MMOs a bit and I've been thinking about Rift. I played for only a few months way back at launch but the game has always been in my head ever since. Warden(?) healing was some of the most fun I've had healing in any MMO by a long shot.

From what I gather the game is more or less "dead" now in terms of no new content and low population. If I were to join up now and play, what's does the experience look like? Do people run dungeons at all, or raid at all? I saw there is some kind of guild for people that somehow level caps you? What's that all about? I see they sort of ez-mode'd the game too?

I've been doing a lot of Autumn Harvest Instant Adventures (IAs) in Gloamwood and noticed a lot of players don't seem to be aware of how to deal with the frequent IA teleport glitches.

When an IA quest is completed, a Teleport button is supposed to pop up on screen to quickly get you to the next adventure if it is a good distance away. Sometimes it doesn't pop up even though the teleport option is available. You can open the IA tab (default period key) and get the Teleport button that way.

Other times, you are just slightly too close to the next quest area to get the Teleport. In that case, just run or ride a bit in the opposite direction, then hit period and get the Teleport button. Be sure to give it a couple seconds after opening the IA tab because the button sometimes switches from Teleport to Leave. You don't want to leave by mistake.

It's usually a lot faster to do this method than just riding there.

One place it happens a lot in Autumn Harvest IAs is in the barghest cave. If the next mission is up at the Deepwood Cottage to kill vampires or werewolves, you need to run out of the cave a bit. If the next mission is in Standing Stones, you need to run deeper into the cave.

It also happens a lot in Darkening Deeps when the next mission is up in Standing Stones. That is a long ride back without a Teleport.

I had a few weeks of Patron time week, and wanted to buy another 12 months. First tried in-game in the credit store - it said I became a patron but in the account management it still showed that I have 30 days left. Then I clicked the "Change Plan" button and selected the 12-month plan - after that it was saying I had 12 months + 30 days left. Then I clicked the "Cancel" button because I didn't want those 12 months to automatically renew every year. Afterwards it went back to "Active Time Remaining: 30 Days".

I looked at my statement - there were two charges for the 12-month payments and none was credited on my account. I messaged the support on Wednesday around noon and they still haven't replied.

Riftwalkers have proven that the reason people want to play Rift is the content, not skipping the content in a rush to endgame only to sit and do nothing because there is nothing new being added to the game. Leveling and progression are all that is left in RIFT and there is a HUGE amount of content there, content that IAs effectively killed by diverting the population from all of that content. Dungeons, dead. Open world pvp, dead. And THAT is the content Riftwalkers wants to revive, that is the appeal.

IAs was just one of the stakes driven into RIFT to kill it, but I have to believe it was just as detrimental to the player's experience, if not more so, then charges of P2W or class imbalance or other game play issues. Riftwalkers proves that even with a diminished player base there was still enough population to sustain the content as long as players weren't being siphoned away from the content. Instead of pulling players out of content they should have concentrated on a robust mentoring system that enabled fast progression IN the content, not outside of the content.

Remember when it was a healing soul at launch? I missed that. Is there other souls that used to be a different role or mechanically different when they first launched?

Hi guys, I'm checking Rift out again (played alot on launch, and then on and off since).

I'm trying to do the zone's defender achievements, but I'm having a lot of difficulty since now, everytime I open a rift in a zone, it seems that a random rift opens up...
Currently I'm on Silverwood Defender and all rifts in that achievement are either life or fire (if I'm not mistaken), and it seems that everytime I use Planar Lure to open a rift, a random fucking rift opens, never life nor fire...

Can someone help me with this?
Is there any way to open these specific rifts or rifts from a specific plane? (life or fire)
Where/how can I do that?

Can you guys point me?

Someone needs to come out, decompile the game, and release a private server with actual new content updates.

Surely there’s still a big enough community to support a project like that.

Hey!

Played the game on launch, back in the day, and had tons of fun.

I tried coming back to it several times since then. Yesterday included.

Every time I try to come back though I notice something that really puts me off, that's different than on launch, let me know if you think this too.
I remember that back on launch, each zone would only have 2 types of Rift, example: Freemarch would only have water & death rifts, which would really give a more distinct feeling to each zone and they would blend much better giving it even more personality, and when going from zone to zone when leveling you would get even more excited to also see the different rift types. Also each zone, for each type of rift would have specific rift missions. I even remember an achievment that I loved doing which was completing each rift quest for each rift type in a specific zone, and I loved seeing and discovering the different ones, there were some really cool ones!

Now everytime coming back I get this nostalgic feeling that these are never coming back...

Do you guys remember this too?

We are doing a Hardcore challenge right now over in the Riftwalkers discord. One life, journey to 70. Rules on the discord, but no requirement to join the guild or play on NA.

I thought a few months back the developers made a post on Facebook saying they saw all the support from the community and were looking at doing a Fresh Start event of some sort. Have the developers said anything since then about some kind of marketing and/or efforts at bringing in fresh players?

I haven't played in 10 years and would really like to enjoy it fresh again. Game is awesome.

When I logged on today, my character fell down into a giant hole. I attempted to return to my bind point, only to discover it was the top of the giant hole (I appeared and then fell down again). Since I can't fly, I can no longer play this character. Did I hit a strange bug, or is there an event going, or what?

Edit: "/stuck" worked.

It teleported me to the nearest graveyard, and the city was still there :-)

They billed me for 144.15 in aug 2026 and 30 days later 144.15. I have not played in a year but I have a yearly subscription.

The yearly subscription should be 131 not 144.15 x 2

I emailed them 3 x

What do I do for a refund?

Hi all, i didn't play Rift in like 10 years...probably more, so i was wondering if there are still people playing? I don't want to download the game just to find out i am along on server.

I was really into mmos back in the day and tried a lot of them. I bought this when I came out and grab wonder if anyone would be interested in an og game disk and box. It's got a game guide and map and disk. I did redeem the pet the tho, so maybe it's worthless without it. But I'm curious if the interest is there.

Had 14 players at one point closing a rift together in IA yesterday!

Was the most alive I’ve seen the game since I started playing again.

Felt like old times.

Since after the patch this morning I am unable to log in.
I get: "The login request was not valid. Please try again later. (Error #2016)"
I tried running as admin and turning off firewall. Are the servers down still, or is this a new local issue?

I just started playing Rift again two days ago after years and I seem to have been temporarily blocked from instant adventure. I was in the middle of combat when it happened.

Is there a cap on how long we’re able to do these objectives?

Played a long while back and was itching to start up again. Faeblight or whatever seems to have been merged with the 3 other servers? Is there a server that all the roleplayers are on now?

Have never played rift before. What server/faction is the best for an NA player? Any good guilds for a 38 year old? Should I buy patron? Are any of the packs mandatory? Any op classes I should play to get a good start? Any tips? Thanks for any and all help.
