Rift: Planes of Telara, previously known asHeroes of Telara, is a new fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) from Trion Worlds, where thousands of players adventure together to save a world being torn apart by magical rifts that unleash deadly planar invasions. Rift: Planes of Telara, which is being developed by a world class team headquartered in Redwood Shores, Calif. is targeted to be released in 2011.

Actually, Rift: Planes of Telara is a newly renamed, completely revamped version of the online game formerly known as Heroes of Telara.

By offering server-side updates that let the content team change the world dynamically on a regular basis, Rift: Planes of Telara offers a free-form character advancement system that let you change your character’s class more or less freely from one class to the other, and back again.

Set in a world being torn apart by dimensional “rifts” that tear into the land of Telara, releasing powerful forces that threaten the very existence of the entire universe. Rifts and other dynamic events can be triggered by players, scheduled by the development team, or even occur spontaneously. Dynamic events within the game can lead to a range of changes a…cross the world, including everything from minor events to dramatic shifts in the game’s landscape and the opening of new areas. Players will connect with hundreds of thousands of other gamers to battle creatures overrunning the world, as well as each other.

Join legions of adventurers in Rift: Planes of Telara, a new fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a world being torn apart.

Rifts violently rip into reality across the land and release powerful forces that threaten the very existence of Telara. Each breach brings with it new characters, events, and treasures, while the world itself changes dynamically around you.

Play with your friends across vast, lavishly detailed environments, or go head-to-head in challenging Player versus Player (PvP) combat as you battle to uncover the secrets of the planes. Build and advance your character using an innovative new class system with limitless possibilities.

The rifts have divided the people and endanger the world. Whether you fight to seal the rifts forever, or harness their power for your own, epic adventures lie ahead for those willing to fight for the future of Telara.

Rifts of Telara:

A devastating magical eruption has tattered the veil between Telara and other planar dimensions. Treacherous and powerful rifts occur when two planes intersect, allowing passage between dimensions. Now no part of Telara is truly safe from invasion by otherworldly forces that lie beyond.
Unique Class System:

Collect and embrace the souls of Telara’s ancient champions to gain their unique powers and abilities. Shape and progress your character with Rift’s unique class system as you see fit, with hundreds of possible combinations.
Dynamic Layered Content:

Telara pulses with activity. Thousands of unexpected encounters – from wandering merchants to explosive rifts that unleash massive planar invasions – create an unparalleled experience that goes beyond static quests and story arcs. Rift’s dynamic layered content redefines the meaning of a living, breathing world.
Next-Gen Graphics:

Stunning visuals by world-renowned fantasy artists bring unique creatures and conceptual designs to life. Next-generation lighting and intensely detailed characters and monsters set Rift apart from any other MMO on the market.

Plane Touched:

Telara’s proximity to a nexus of the planes shapes your adventures, your enemies, and even you. The rifts grant magical abilities to those bold enough to seize them, and rumors abound that some have crossed over to other planes and come back changed.
