Important Information:

Winners
Winners will be published at the end of the month when all events have ended, and everything tallied. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we take the time to ensure everything is counted properly before we announce the winner.

Anniversary Point Ranking and Bundle Progression
The Anniversary Point rankings and Special Bundle progression bar will not be auto updated, they will be updated once per normal workday to reflect the goings on from the past hours. We do not have an exact time this will happen, nor do we guarantee it will happen over the weekend. Only the top 50 users on the rankings will be visible, and rankings will be split per game. All point totals for all users, even those not in the top 50, will still be saved.

Rankings
Names in the rankings will be displayed with asterisks blocking all except the first and last letter of the ranked party’s name (for example O****N instead of ORION). There will be a voucher item available to anyone who wants/agrees to have their full name displayed in the ranking on the anniversary. By using the voucher item, you will be agreeing to have your full character name available to everyone who views the page: SHOWYOURNAME20RIFT
The name that will be displayed in the ranking, will be the name of the first character you login on you account, after redeeming the SHOWYOURNAME20RIFT voucher.

Free MMOs: RPGs and other massively multiplayer greats

What is the best free MMO? Making such a decision is no mean feat. Free-to-play games are increasingly common, meaning the F2P MMO crowd now have a lot more options than they used to. Even if your wallet is gathering cobwebs and your bank account is best friends with the number zero, there is a quality game on the PC to enjoy.


What's more, from online war zones to behemoth free MMORPGs, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Free games are no longer just the domain of MOBAs and Runescape; there are shooters to rival the likes of Overwatch, space games as shiny as Elite, and Warcraft-grade MMOs that don't demand a subscription.


Aside from completely free to play games, we have also included some MMOs with lengthy free trials - games where there is plenty to enjoy without spending a penny. So without further ado, let's take a look at the best online games you can play without breaking the bank.
