Rift how many subscribers

Unlike many other subscription based MMOs, Rift would host free-to-play weekends after major content patches for anyone who had purchased the game. Personally I loved this.

Not long after the weekend came to a close, one hopeful subscriber, with the forum handle Papardelios , reached out to Trion Worlds developer and publisher of Rift asking if they wouldn't mind extending the free weekend.
