Shanda Games will close the RIFT China server in November.

MMO Culture has translated a document issued by Shanda Games, the company which runs the RIFT China server. The document states that service to the China server will be terminated on November 15, 2013. Leading up to that date other functions will be slowly phased out. No specific reason is given for the decision.

We'll continue to update you on this development as more information is released.
