If you'd like to get a sneak peek at what's coming in Rift Update 1.1, you'd better start downloading the Alpha client and clear your schedule tonight. Trion Worlds will be testing the massive River of Souls world event today, March 23, at 5 p.m. PDT, and you're invited to participate.

According to Assistant Community Manager James "Elrar" Nichols, the River of Souls event "introduces the next phase in RIFT’s saga, and will rage across all Telara, culminating in an unforgettable battle with Alsbeth’s forces in Stillmoor... should you survive that long."

Update 1.1 promises to bring all sorts of changes and new features to Rift, so dive into the Alpha event tonight and catch a glimpse of what's in store for Telara!
