Subscriptions will be “optional”, with Trion promising those who do pay will get a Patron membership level. Meanwhile, players who go free-to-play will have an expanded in-game store ”where a variety of services–mounts, boosts, wardrobe items, and more–will be available for purchase.”
Also accompanying the free-to-play shift is the 2.3 update Empyreal Assault, adding a new zone (Dendrome), 10-player raid, Chronicle, open-world raid bosses as well as game performance improvements.
Gamers can check out Rift on the official site here.
