Looking forward to RIFT's upcoming PvP beta weekend? You're in good company -- a lot of people are, which is part of the reason Trion Worlds has made the event even sweeter. Aside from the already-announced Black Garden warfront, players in the 20-29 level range will be able to take part in the Codex battle. It's a chance for Defiants and Guardians to cross swords for control of the eponymous artifact with unknown purpose.
In terms of gameplay, the Codex will be a domination-style map, with players seizing control points around the artifact and attempting to control the Codex itself. Players can also earn points by defeating enemy players as well, helping to put the game on a faster clock when players interact with one another. RIFT fans can test out the warfronts this weekend, starting at 1 p.m. EST tomorrow and running until the same time on Monday, January 10th.

If no changes were made then its going to be nasty. Chain wearing healers all over the place, endurance stacked 5 times, armor stacked 7 times, resistance stacked 4 times, gonna be ugly.

"eponymous artifact with unknown purpose"?
Is this one of those "the cylons have a plan, but the writers forgot to tell them about it"-moments?

Do we know if these beta clients will be patchable to release client, or will we be downloading an all-new client later?
