Trion Worlds and the Rift development team have announced a new 'Ascend a Friend' that begins with free seven day trial codes for friends of current players. If a recruit ends up purchasing the game, players receive in-game rewards in the form of a "Courage" pet for one buyer, a fancy hat for two or a flame-wreathed mount for three.
With the Ascend-a-Friend program, current RIFT players can give an unlimited number of 7-day passes to their friends. If a recruit purchases the game, the recruiter will receive one or more of the following awesome rewards:
. Ascend 1 Friend - It's like getting two friends for the price of one! If just a single buddy purchases RIFT, you'll receive Courage, a fiercely loyal and utterly adorable canine companion.
. Ascend 2 Friends - You're immensely popular, and you know it. Demonstrate this undeniable fact by donning the glorious Trailblazer Hat, which you'll receive after Ascending a pair of peers.
. Ascend 3 Friends - You don't get this many friends through charm alone. By bringing three new subscribers into the game, you'll receive the Swift Ember Steed mount, a terrifying equine wreathed in flame that is sure to turn heads in Telara.
