RIFT, Trion Worlds’ fantasy MMORPG, is now celebrating its five-year anniversary.

RIFT kicks off its celebrations with promotions and in-game events that offer exclusive rewards for players. From March 10 through April 5, players will earn 5th Anniversary Tickets for completing zone events, random dungeons and Warfronts, and weekly crafting quests. The more tickets players earn, the more in-game prizes they can unlock. Prizes include the Mystical Carousel Ram (mount), the Haunted Terminal (dimension), Tier 3 raid gear (rings and earrings), 46 capes (one for each soul), and more.

There will also be weekly and month-long prizes awarded based on a player’s position on the new leaderboard. Each week the Top 100 players will earn prizes ranging from a 5-Year Patron reward to various $5-$100 credit packs, Black Tier Loyalty rewards, every premium mount ever released as part of a trove or supply crate, and others.

The five year anniversary celebration culminates in the game’s next big update launching next month, 3.6: Celebration of the Ascended.

Originally launched in March 2011, RIFT puts players into the role of the Ascended as they fight to defend the elemental world of Telara and cleanse the world of the threat of dragons.
