Recently I was fortunate enough to be asked to represent IGN for their new site called the Rift Kingdom. We are running a pretty huge contest. Drop on over for a very high chance to win!

Are you looking to get your hands on the highly coveted VIP beta key for RIFT? This isn’t one of those puny community keys that give you a chance to get into beta, these are the VIP keys that will get you into the remaining beta weekend events… guaranteed!

So how do you have a chance to win one of our hundreds of beta keys? Simple! Participate around IGN’s Rift Kingdom from between now and the end of beta for a chance to have a key randomly sent to you. There is no rhyme or reason to the distribution. The more you participate, the better chance of winning!

So register at IGN’s Rift Kingdom and begin posting on our forums, updating our wiki, and submitting screenshots.

We have over 200 VIP keys and will be giving out VIP keys like hotcakes, especially this weekend, so now is the chance to get involved in the IGN and RIFT communities.
