Recently, RPGamer attended a roundtable interview with the developers of RIFT, a new MMORPG. While the game is currently in closed beta, Trion Worlds has announced that the game will be moving into open beta as of February 15, 2011. To sign up for the open beta, titled "Telara the Merciless," simply go to the game's sign-up page.

On February 15, Trion Worlds will unveil the world of Telara before the game launches officially on March 1, 2011. This six day preview event will allow RPGamers to preview the world and what it has to offer before launch. Open beta begins on February 15 at 10AM PST and ends February 21, giving newcomers the chance to explore two-playable classes, the first forty-two levels of play, three PvP warfronts, and several dungeons and zones. RPGamers can pre-order RIFT at the game's official website.
