Trion Worlds announces the open beta testing of the Nightmare Tide expansion for RIFT will be extended by a couple of weeks, and the free add-on is now expected to go live on October 22nd, rather than next Wednesday as originally planned. Word is: "Trion’s goal is to make Nightmare Tide the best expansion it can be, and this new launch date gives RIFT developers the time to batten down the hatches and blow players out of the water with a high quality release that they can be proud of!" There are more details in this blog post penned by producer Bill Fisher.
