Ever since Rift made a splash on the MMO scene in 2011, Trion Worlds have been hard at work consistantly creating new content for it's devoted fan base. With it's first expansion, Rift: Storm Legion, Trion Worlds is look to bring Rift onto a whole new scale.
Along with increasing the level cap from 50 to 60, players will also have one new soul per calling allowing even greater customization of their character. The biggest addition from Rift: Storm Legion are the continents of Dusken and Brevane; each nearly matching the size of Rift's base game world. With all this new uncharted territory to explore players will also be able to get into new Zone Events, as well as new areas for Conquest and Onslaught.
No word yet on a solid release date for Rift: Storm Legion. but Trion Worlds is looking to bring it out this fall.
My favorite part of Rift was that they actually released content in a timely fashion. For comparison they put out more raids/patches/features this year than WoW did through their WOTLK and Cataclysm expansions, and that's on top of Rift making it's initial release only a year ago.
As of the last time I played it still wasn't better than WoW, but something tells me that if they keep up this dev pace they'll soon overtake the giant.
