RIFT: Three more ‘content milestones’ in 2018, progression server’s lifespan extended

[AL:Rift]Trion Worlds is stepping up its communication game this week, first with a post on the imminent plans for RIFT’s progression server and then slapping down a huge developer Q&A on the entire MMO this past Friday. By the way, one of our biggest pet peeves here at MOP is when devs churn out livestreams with important information but fail to put any of that in writing, so major props go out to Trion for giving us both written and video versions of what’s coming for the game.

Both the live and progression servers received attention during the livestream. The studio said that it’s increasing the RIFT team and has plans for “three more content milestones” in 2018. “There are live systems and balance needs that we want to give love before discussing what a next expansion looks like,” Trion said.

As for the progression server, the studio said that it is extending the lifespan of Vigil, saying that the team has slowed down the initially planned pace of content unlocks to match players’ progression. There will not be any schedule posted for the server, but Trion did focus on the upcoming Greenscale raid on April 25th and various class balance issues.

If you’d rather have the long version, the 50-minute developer livestream is waiting for you below.
