12 Games of Christmas: Rift
...my true love sent to me: 12 Corgis Wagging
To say that it's been a big year for Rift is to throw your hat in the ring of a local underground understatement competition. The launch of Storm Legion has been met with numerous accolades including ZAM's Expansion of the Year award.
By tripling the game's landmass, adding new souls to explore and including rich story and group content, Trion went all the way with its expansion.
What I like to see in an MMO is at least one element that can be a new benchmark for other MMOs in the industry to aspire to. With Dimensions, I think Storm Legion shows just how absorbing player housing can be.
We've supplied a lot of coverage on Storm Legion -- such as Gazimoff's first impressions at the start of December --and of course there's all the great content to peruse at Rift.ZAM.com, but what we'd most like to know is what you think of Trion's game.
What have been the highlights for you in the past year? Was there a particular element of Storm Legion that blew you away? Or has there just been a legendary night with your guild that you will never forget? Give us your thoughts in the comments below.
Keep an eye out in 2013 as we continue to bring you all the Rift related news, views and interviews you need.
