Rift: Storm Legion (2012)
Rift: Storm Legion is the first expansion for the popular MMORPG Rift. It was released on November 13, 2012, and it introduced a wealth of new content to the game, including two new continents, four new souls, and a new level cap of 60.
New Continents
Storm Legion introduced two new continents to Rift: Greybriar and Ember Isle. Greybriar is a dark and dangerous continent, home to the undead and other creatures of the night. Ember Isle is a volcanic continent, with fiery landscapes and molten rivers.
New Souls
Storm Legion also introduced four new souls to Rift: the Defiler, the Harbinger, the Purifier, and the Warden. Each soul has its own unique abilities and playstyle.
- Defiler: The Defiler is a damage-dealing soul that uses dark magic to inflict pain and suffering on its enemies.
- Harbinger: The Harbinger is a support soul that can heal and buff its allies, and debuff its enemies.
- Purifier: The Purifier is a tank soul that can absorb damage and protect its allies.
- Warden: The Warden is a melee damage-dealing soul that uses its fists and claws to撕碎its enemies.
New Level Cap
The level cap in Rift was increased from 50 to 60 with the release of Storm Legion. This gave players a new goal to work towards, and it also allowed them to access new abilities and talents.
Other Features
In addition to the new continents, souls, and level cap, Storm Legion also introduced a number of other new features to Rift, including:
- Dimensions: Dimensions are private areas of the game world that players can customize to their liking. They can be used for solo play, group play, or even role-playing.
- Cross-shard raiding: Storm Legion allowed players to raid with other players from different shards (servers). This made it easier for players to find groups and complete end-game content.
- New dungeons and raids: Storm Legion added a number of new dungeons and raids to the game, including the 10-man raid Battle of the Planes.
