Yesterday was the grand opening of the new IGN Rift Kingdom, your one stop shop for everything RIFT. If you are new to the game, RIFT is an upcoming MMO game from Trion Worlds, tentatively scheduled for early 2011, with a beta upcoming in a few weeks. Be sure to swing by our Wiki for more information on the game and to get acquainted with the elaborate backstory of dark magic, betrayal, and war.

IGN’s Rift Kingdom is run by some of the same people you know and love from the Vault with yours truly at the helm as Site Manager. That’s right IGN fans, the same hard work and dedication that you’ve been accustomed to around the Vault Network has now jumped on over to IGN-proper to bring you the latest news, killer gaming guides, and one of the most comprehensive Wikis found anywhere in Telara!

Make no mistake, this site is Powered by Sprawl’s Scrawl and we can certainly use your support. Contact me if you plan on playing RIFT and are looking to help out!

Rush out and pickup issue number 27 of Beckett Massive Online Gamer for the latest Cataclysm update from yours truly. Okay, so it’s a magazine so it isn’t the absolute latest news, but it’s two full pages of things created by me, and there are articles from others that cover perhaps a few of those MMOs you don’t follow so regularly.

I hope to be contributing to Beckett for some time to come, so you mind as well just pickup a subscription for a mere $16.95 for a year while you are at it.

Be sure to run out and purchase a copy of the latest Beckett Massive Online Gamer! I rock 10 pages of the magazine, complete with World of Warcraft Cataclysm information, Worgan coverage, and an interview with Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street.

These are the articles that came from my trip last month to Blizzard Headquarters, so while the information is a tad out of date already, it is still good stuff!
