Even if RIFT isn't your cup of tea, you're probably still impressed at how speedily Trion has brewed it. The studio will launch the Conquest patch next week, complete with a mentoring system and three-faction PvP, to be followed this fall by the Storm Legion expansion, which as we learned this week will come bundled with the original game for newcomers and a tidy discount for loyalists. Those of you thinking of taking another sip of Telara ought to check out our RIFT guide for new and returning players.
