Rift Lite debuts today as part of the game's latest patch, Carnival of the Ascended, which is detailed below.

Executive producer Scott Hartsman said: "In the past ten months, Rift has evolved at a breakneck pace, through seven massive updates that set new expectations for live MMOs, in features, in content, and in service.

"We think a Lite edition with no time limit is the best way for players to see what an amazing experience Rift continues to be."

Rift Carnival of the Ascended features:

  • PvP Improvements - Smoother advancement and better rewards
  • Ascended Weddings - Share eternity with your soulmate, Telara-style
  • River of Souls Chronicle - Undead adventure for two
  • New Master Mode Dungeon - Caduceus Rise
  • Expert Dungeon Overhaul - More options, better loot!
  • Better Endgame Equipment - Improved loot for your endgame Ascended

Rift Lite brings to mind a similar initiative launched by Blizzard last June, when the developer introduced free World of Warcraft play up to level 20.

    I love rift but it's definitely not worth paying monthly over it.
    Might try again with the "free to play" module.
