More On: Rift: Planes of Telara
As stated last week, Rift is celebrating their half-birthday...well, sixth month anniversary...screw it.  Rift's been out for sixth months and they're celebrating it.  Through August 31st, subscribers will be treated to some amazing in-game bonuses such as extra XP, PvP Prestige and Favor, and a surprise birthday gift.  They can also have the chance to win one of three gaming desktops, NVIDIA GTX460 video cards, and six months of game time via various contests running throughout the week.  I haven't played Rift since the beta, but all GenCon attendees received a free copy in their gift bags.  I think it's about time I installed my copy.
