After rumors arose that Trion Worlds was forcing employees to take vacation, players feared for the “health” of the MMORPG RIFT. But Trion states that everything is fine.
If an MMO company sends employees on vacation, one might start to think that something is amiss. Is the MMORPG RIFT perhaps in maintenance mode?
Why are Trion employees being sent on vacation?
Trion employees must take vacation: As Trion explains, it is true that employees were sent on paid vacation. According to the company, this is because they are restructuring the vacation system internally to move towards a more flexible paid vacation for employees. This is quite normal in the industry. During the transition phase between the two systems, some employees have now been sent on vacation. However, this is intended to have as little impact as possible on the games.
RIFT is doing well: Players were particularly concerned about the MMORPG RIFT. This is because Trion announced that it is already working on updates for ArcheAge and Trove. And after some layoffs, work is also being done on the online shooter Defiance 2050. But what about Rift?
Trion Worlds explains that new things are also planned here. The team is already working on ideas that will lead to more content for the MMORPG in the long term. This content is set to be released when it is ready and not held back for months. Players can look forward to interesting events and also content that used to exist, which has been removed from the game.
So RIFT is doing well and according to Trion Worlds, the rumors that the MMORPG is in maintenance mode and that’s why employees were sent on vacation are unfounded.
