Rift : E3 Hands On With Rift

Players will begin life in the Shadowlands. Not to be confused with the titular location of a certain Anarchy Online expansion, the Shadowlands is sort of a place between life and death in the rift gold universe. Players are all former heroes of a past war that rocked the world, and begin as what the team refers to as "Ascended Souls", a Telaran slain during the great Shade War and resurrected to combat the forces of Regulos. Dragon Oath Gold  As one of the Ascended, players have access and the ability to commune with the souls of Telara's many fallen heroes. Basically this serves as the lore reasoning behind death and the multi-classing system.

Back in April the chance to fly out to San Francisco for Trion's unveiling of what is now called Rift Gold . There was a lengthy hands-off demo exploring the rift gameplay mechanics back then,And for a game that's still in the Alpha stages, the level of polish and sophistication is pretty incredible. Rift is certainly looking like the title Trion hopes it will be.
