    With the open beta less than a week away, now is the time for Trion Worlds to step up and address the lingering issues RIFT has before it starts being available for general consumption. Fortunately for the development team, it's a task it's proven quite accomplished at, and the newest wrap-up for the sixth event proves that there's still a lot going on behind the scenes. Scott Hartsman takes the opportunity in the last pre-open beta wrap-up to discuss PvP in the open world, damage tuning, and the difference in raid sizes for endgame content. As Hartsman puts it, some of the anti-PvP measures put into place will be removed on PvP servers, meaning weaker guards around hubs and destroyable wardstones. Damage levels seem to be in a fairly good place across the board from the development perspective, but they're something that will be watched closely during the open event. Hartsman also touches more on the late-game rift content and what it will mean for the game's balance and the availability of content. RIFT players should take a gander at the full rundown and get ready for the open beta starting on Tuesday next week.

    Yesterday we told you all about the impending arrival of RIFT's sixth closed beta event. If you want to check it out and don't have a key yet, we've got you covered! The folks at Trion kindly provided us with a handful of very special keys to the RIFT beta event to share with you, our readers. Each key, rather than holding access for one person, carries 50 uses -- so each code represents beta access for 50 Massively readers. We'll be handing these keys out on various RIFT Massively posts, Twitter, and Facebook throughout this week, but we're also sharing five of them right now! Just choose one of the codes below, visit the RIFT beta page to use it, and you're all set. The event begins at 10:00 a.m. PST on February 4th -- good luck!
