ZONE EVENT: THE EXUVIA OF KHARGROTH


In tune with the cyclical nature of the seasons, Swarmlord Khargroth gathers those loyal to him and unleashes them upon Telara. Thwart his quest for revenge and loot the treasures of the devilish Fae.


SCAVENGER HUNTS

Join your friends for scavenger hunts throughout Telara – ride a barrel down Scarlet Gorge Falls, risk life and lips to plant a kiss on some of Telara’s greatest villains, and more. You’ll have to follow the clues, though – hunt objectives aren’t marked on your map!


RARE COMPANIONS


Unique and adorable critters return to zones across the continent of Mathosia. Catch and befriend up to 11 special companions, from black bunnies to striped prairie dogs and colorful cobras.


MAKE A SPLASH


Summer fashion’s alive at the RIFT Store! Sport a variety of swimsuits and exclusive items including Sunset, a feisty avian companion.


SPOILS OF SUMMER


Camp out to earn the title “the Counselor” and catch Summer Sunfish from special nodes throughout the event. As you complete Summerfest quests, you’ll earn Friendship Bracelets and Merit Badges you can trade in for seasonal loot.


WIN CREDITS


During the first week of Summerfest (7/25-7/31), Daily Login Gifts have a chance of including 25-75 RIFT Credits. If you’re a Patron, you have an even higher chance of receiving free Credits!

Servers down July 31/2013
Following the North American update this morning we discovered an issue that has caused server instability. We need to bring shards offline immediately - however, due to internal network maintenance it is taking longer than expected to prepare a new build with a fix for the issue.  Elrar

Ongoing Connectivity/Latency/Disconnect Issues
Forum post, now on page 53.... since July 25th
 
Hey all, (From Elrar Aug 7th)
In an effort to be overly cautious & attempt to proactively avoid future connectivity issues - if you are having issues connecting to any RIFT or Trion services, please provide us with the following:
 
When did the issue first appear? (As best you can recall)
Do you know of anyone else experiencing the issue?
What state are you attempting to connect from?
Who is your ISP? (Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, etc.)
Your best description of what you're experiencing, with as much detail as possible:
