Even if Gamigo has never stated it, it’s widely known that RIFT has been in maintenance mode for a good while now. Active development stuttered to a halt after Trion Worlds sold off the title, and repeated entreaties for the MMO’s new owners to talk abut the game’s future have fallen on deaf ears.
[AL:Rift]But perhaps there’s a (small) sign that Gamigo is trying to make RIFT better? Yesterday, the company put a new build on the test server that involves some frisky world bosses that require level 70 characters to tackle. It’s not much, but it’s something, you know?
RIFT is also helping the housebound population keep busy with a bonus event: “As a lot of you have to stay at home right now, we want to double your fun while playing RIFT by activating double experience, double favor, and double prestige from now on until Sunday, 29th of March.”
