Rift's anniversary celebration rolls over to Phase 2 later today.

Phase 2 of Carnival of the Ascended is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 7. During this phase the carnival will grow as new games like Place Your Bets, Drinking Contest and Fashion Show are added to the party in Shimmersand. Play these games to earn Prize Tickets to spend on merchant goods such as the balloon companions!

Dragon Parades will commence during this phase and the goal centers around upgrading the parade balloons. The parades will march through several zones as they follow their route. A title awaits those factions that are dedicated enough to meet their goals!

A bit of trouble has cropped up at the carnival in Shimmersand as Monte and his crew refuse to leave the party! Grab some friends and help clear them out to earn your Pyrite Doubloon for this phase. The Herald of Heroes is prepared to tell the story of Prince Hylas in the newest addition to the daily raid quests, Tales of the Ascended II.

On Thursday, March 8th the Return to Telara promotion kicks off, allowing previous subscribers to enjoy RIFT during a full week of unrestricted gameplay. Have fun at the carnival!
