    Tier 2 of the Steam preorder rewards is a free copy of Storm Legion.

    I wonder how that is going to work for people who don't have the basic Rift, 'cause steam normally won't let you buy DLC unless you own the base game, will they? I had been hoping they'd leave it in your inventory instead of activating it on your account.

    Not to mention those of us whom already own RIFT and Storm Legion, but not on a Steam account. I've been playing RIFT since the first BETA but I did not purchase it from Steam. Thus, it's pretty pointless to activate on my account when I could, and I plan to, give it to a friend whom has just started RIFT.

    I think you'll probably get a CD Key which you can add to your existing Rift account to unlock Storm Legion. That's how the preorder worked.

    I believe the edition they're giving out is the bundle. Storm Legion was $39 for existing customers and $49 for new customers (it includes RIFT). The core Rift game has been ridiculously cheap in price lately (I think I got an offer once to buy it for $4?), so no real surprise there.

    very good point. the preorder on steam does say you can give it to a friend if you already own it, but it doesn't specify that it has to be the steam copy....

    Yup, you're correct, the link on the preorder page links to the bundle

    You still need to pay for monthly subscriptions, though?

    RIFT is free to play now; or only the core?

    Badly limited free to play. Only some levels and lower quality gear.

    I hope Storm Legion comes with some game time. If not, maybe I'll check it out sometime later when I have time.

    Would be nice if they ported over my Possessed Kitty Pet from Rift.

    That bundle will get you the core Rift, Rift: Storm Legion and 30 days game time.

    The "badly limited free to play" ( -.- ) is for you to trial it. You can play up to level 20, with some restrictions, of course.

    hmm... I hadn't thought about them just automatically adding/activating it on my account. I've tried to get a steam game moved from one steam account to another steam account (both owned by me) but they won't do it.

    it looks like it will be activated as your game, but it wont' be activated on trions end, so the code should be redeemable no matter what since it's independent from steam

    yeah, confirmed that a while ago. I think this is the first time steams used a non-exclusive steam title as a bonus. Hopefully it'll draw people into rift if they need a break from definace every now and then
