With a game that was hosting community building events before it even launched, it's no surprise that one of the strongest elements of Rift lies directly in its players. One of the premier communities in Rift is a gaming family on the Faeblight shard known as Gaiscioch. This long running multi-game guild has been at the forefront of player driven events since their days in Dark Age of Camelot and has continued that tradition in Rift with their epic server-wide Tuesday night event known as The Telara Saga.
This objective based, player driven series of adventures spans several months and incorporates many aspects of the game. The first iteration just wrapped up a couple of weeks ago and the second event is kicking off tonight, September 6th at 6pm CST. (Rift Gold)Players from both factions are encouraged to come out and participate and help further advance the already compelling story that is being told.
