The first episode of the Rift Podcast was released in June 2010, back when Rift was still in its pre-alpha stages and nobody knew for sure that the game was going to be a hit. Almost a year later, the podcast team has sadly posted their last episode "due to unexpected real life and health issues."

Trion Worlds CCO and Rift Executive Producer Scott Hartsman and Senior Community Manager Cindy "Abigale" Bowens join the hosts for the final episode to talk about the origins of the game, reminisce about the podcast's origins, and discuss some hot topics like guild banks, server transfers and tweaks to the Looking for Group tool.

We'd like to wish hosts Arithion and Desikis the best of luck, and thank them for letting Cody Bye, our director of content, participate in a recent episode. We'll see you in Telara!
