Not yet a year old, RIFT™ has released enough content updates to leave other MMOs in the dust. To celebrate our first anniversary, we're throwing the most extravagant World Event yet! You've never seen a party like this, with hours of new solo, group, raid, PvP, crafting gameplay, and more event quests than ever before!
In these turbulent times, the people of Telara have arranged a festival to honor their immortal protectors. Giant floats mock the dragons as parades prepare to set forth across the great roads. Carnival boats sail for Fortune’s Shore to host and oversee the games and booths going up around the bay, promising a joyful riot of laughter and light.

Take a look at the wondrous attractions to be unveiled when the Carnival of the Ascended comes to town:

Test yourself in many exciting games of skill and chance to win tickets to spend on carnival prizes.

Break festive piñatas scattered across Telara to collect rare rewards.

The Herald of Heroes hosts an arena in Shimmersand where the Ascended gather in raid-sized groups to thrill audiences by recreating epic battles from Telara's past.

Stop by the carnival vendor in your capital for a free tabard that shows the other Ascended you're here to party, available only during the World Event!

Eager to try out all the changes in RIFT 1.7? Between Mar. 8 and Mar. 14, veteran Ascended can return to their high-level characters. And since RIFT Lite is here, new players can already level all the way to 20 for free!

Our amazing subscriber bonuses will be in effect all through the Carnival of the Ascended. Log on and reap the benefits!
