Overview
Description

Rift: Storm Legion is the landmark first expansion for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game RIFT.

In addition to the expanded geography and character progression, the expansion introduces player housing called 'dimensions.' This feature allows players to personalize and customize private areas within the game world, adding a deep layer of creative freedom to the traditional MMO experience.
