RIFT is a new fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) from Trion Worlds, where thousands of players adventure together to save a world being torn apart by magical rifts that unleash deadly planar invasions.
It is due to be released in the first quarter of 2011, there will be PVP, and its subscription based.
The world of Telara is divided up politically between two major factions: the Guardians and the Defiant. Both factions have plans to save the world from planar destruction, but in very different ways. The factions are engaged in open conflict and battle frequently. Because of this warfare, the factions cannot group up or form guilds with one another in RIFT.
The key game mechanic that differentiates it from other MMO games out there is the Rift system, Rifts open up randomly all over the world offering a kind of dynamic quest / encounter system.
In RIFT™, players are one of the Ascended, a Telaran slain during the great Shade War and resurrected to combat the forces of Regulos. As an Ascended, players have access to special powers, the greatest of which is “Soul Attunement”, the ability to commune with, and embrace, the souls of Telara’s ancient fallen heroes.
The Soul Attunement system offers players nearly endless customization. In RIFT, you’re encouraged to experiment with many combinations of souls and abilities to discover the path that’s right for you!
Souls
Players choose an Ascended Soul from one of the four callings (Warrior, Cleric,Mage, and Rogue) at character creation. These initial souls, which grow in power as they become more specialized, are flexible and have well-rounded abilities that make them great for both solo and group experiences. Players can later choose to augment, or even replace, embraced souls with other souls from within their calling. The process of enabling souls that players discover in their adventures is called Soul Attunement.
Players will also gain more specialized “Heroic Souls” that open up a number of new and exciting gameplay experiences, offering special achievements and rewards for players who discover them all.
The Soul Tree
Each attuned soul grants 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.
The Soul Tree — Branch Advancement
Players invest their soul points into the branches of the Soul Tree, picking and choosing the specific abilities and passive traits they desire. With each point spent, the Soul Tree increases in level, periodically unlocking new advancement options higher up the tree.
The Soul Tree — Root Advancement
Players automatically unlock new “root” abilities as the Soul Tree increases in level. If the branches represent the unique choices a player makes, the root represents the core power of the soul that all players have access to. Root abilities unlock quickly at first, but slow down as the tree’s soul-level increases.
Multiple Souls
As an Ascended grows in power, so does his or her ability to attune souls. Leveling a character will unlock the ability to attune additional souls. A maximum-level player will be able to attune up to three souls of their choosing!
