Rift is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG)
for PC that challenges players to stop an ongoing invasion of
their world by horrific creatures from other planes of existence,
while simultaneously growing ever more powerful by doing so.
These creatures appear at a variety of elemental rifts that erupt
at the confluence of these planes. Using an extensive level of
customization, which allows players to very nearly create their
own character classes, players defeat enemies, seal rifts and
draw power from them. Additional features include: standard quest
gameplay as well as player vs. player action, two factions each
containing multiple races and a dynamic world full of
unpredictability.
Create your own character class to fit you fighting style.

Story
-----
Rift is set on Telara, a fantasy world which lies alarmingly
close to a variety of other planes of existence In the final days
of the Mathosian civil war, the Ward that protected Telara from
planar convergence with these other worlds was severely weakened
by a disaster known as the Shade. Since that time, rifts between
Telara and other planes have been increasingly devastating the
land, and old enemies in the form of monsters, held at bay by
elemental prisons have be actively clawing their way out.
Telara's greatest enemy, the god Regulos, pounds against the
outside of the Ward, seeking reentry into Telara to finish the
job he once started. Meanwhile, Telara's own pantheon of gods has
suddenly grown silent, and the world is descending into total
chaos.
The people of Telara are now convinced that the end of the world
is at hand. In these desperate final days, two major factions
have arisen to battle the coming apocalypse: the Guardians and
the Defiant. Though each faction wants to save the world, their
beliefs and methods differ, and they war upon each other as often
as they do other enemies of Telara.
Factions and Souls
------------------
Rift contains two main factions, the Guardians and the Defiant.
Within either of these factions players can choose from four
character callings, Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, Mage. Further, within
these players gain access to a variety of different character
possibilities known as "souls" - each soul granting players
access to a unique "Soul Tree," which contains all of the traits
and abilities that a soul had mastered during its life. As your
character levels up, you earn soul points that can be used to
improve that tree's soul level, granting players access to even
more powerful traits and abilities. As a player's character grows
in power, so does his or her ability to take on, or "attune"
souls. A maximum-level player will be able to attune up to three
souls of their choosing each with their own attributes. Souls
grow in power as they become more specialized, and have
well-rounded abilities that make them great for both solo and
group play. The result is the ability to create your own class
for virtually any situation.
Gameplay
--------
Although it can be played on its own, Rift like all MMORPGs is
designed to be played with others online. Players assume the role
of an "Ascended Soul" - a Telaran slain during the great Shade
War and resurrected to combat the forces of Regulos, the dragon
god of extinction. Once a character's calling and initial soul(s)
are selected players can take on quests alone or join together in
loose confederations or more organized guilds to seek to defeat
creatures that are spawned from rifts dynamically. Close the
openings, and gain rewards to progress and level up. Rewards are
given for all sorts of actions, including attacks, healing and
more. Of course different guilds will also seek to undermine each
other as well, leading to substantial player vs. player combat
rtunities.
