RIFT hangs ten with this year’s Summerfest

[AL:Rift]When we have a winged, masked figure riding a surfboard through the air in an MMO, we are firmly through the looking glass without any opportunity to go back. That’s probably not an issue with RIFT’s audience, since they’re used to a little… oddness in their fantasy MMO.

The air surfer is courtesy of this year’s Summerfest, which has returned through August 2nd and is sporting a “fantastic new tropical Tiki theme.” Yes, it’s all island living for this year’s event, even if you happen to be on the Prime progression server.

RIFT’s Summerfest includes scavenger hunts, seasonal quests, artifact piñatas, and a special minion questline, among other activities. There are plenty of items to chase, such as the aforementioned island surfboard, an Island Cove dimension, tiki decor, parrot pets, island cosmetics, and — naturally — hammocks.

“RIFT Prime will only have access to content in the original zones,” Trion specified. “Prime subscribers will be able to purchase most of the Summerfest items from vendors in Sanctum and Meridian. The Nightmare Squirrel mount may drop from the final bosses of Expert Dungeons on Prime during this event!”
