RIFT EU Shard Closure Notice
Hello, dear Ascended.
We have some important news to share regarding the European Shards.
On September 30, 2024, the European shard Bloodiron will be closed as part of our efforts to consolidate shards within the EU region.
Why are we closing the Shard?
Our goal is to make it easier for players in the European region to find fellow Ascended and embark on new adventures together.
What steps do I have to take if I am on Bloodiron?
1. If you are playing on the shard Bloodiron, please consider transferring to one of the following shards: Brisesol, Brutwacht or Typhiria.
2. Read the guide on how to transfer your character(s) to another shard by clicking here.
3. Keep an eye on the official RIFT website for more details.
What happens if I do not transfer in time?
Characters that are not transferred to Brisesol, Brutwacht or Typhiria before September 30, 2024, will become unavailable, and regular play will not be possible. We advise you to transfer to your preferred shard as soon as possible.
Please note that during this period, the character limit on the EU region will be lifted to facilitate transfers. We recommend having no more than 14 characters on a single shard. If you exceed this limit, characters beyond the 14th will become inaccessible, and the only way to recover them is to delete some of your accessible characters.
We appreciate your continued support as we strive to ensure you can continue playing with other Ascended.
Your RIFT team
