Trion’s announcement of their first expansion brought along a lot of exciting and grand changes. Of course, along with all the innovations such as Behemoth Colossi, Dimensions; Trion’s take on housing, the exciting new type of Hunt Rifts as well as cosmetics such as capes.

Naturally, Trion brings more of the same in their massive expansion. Two massive new zones, effectively tripling the land size they shipped with. New Souls for each calling and 10 more levels to enjoy them all the more. With these come some of the more standard things such as achievements, mounts, artifacts, pets, titles.

However, we can’t forget about our instanced Player vs Environment content. The new dungeons and raids coming out seem very interesting. We’ve seen a few in the E3 Demo, these were exactly the ones that were datamined before. Most likely since they were the most ready. If you look back a little further, along with the original Infernal Dawn datamining, we saw some concepts under the name of ‘Dream Hive’. Possibly this is a new dungeon we’ll be seeing in Storm Legion as well. Even though the name doesn’t appear to be very ‘stormy’ to me.

It’s time for more Storm Legion speculation and idea brainstorming! This time we’re speculating about the announced addition of player/guild housing, which is going to take place in player-made dimensions, or slivers of areas around Telara. We don’t know too many details yet, but what we do know came from the Gamespot exclusive posted last week:

“Other additions relate more to Rift’s social aspects than to its battles. Capes are coming, for instance, along with player areas called dimensions that function somewhat like player housing in other MMOGs. Let’s say you rested at a Telaran inn that overlooked a shimmering waterfall. How great would it be to claim that inn for you and your guildmates? What if there was a parallel universe, where you could decorate it and furnish your inn just as you wanted? That is precisely what dimensions will offer: a way to own your very own corner of a very big game.”

Players have hoped for some form of player/guild housing for a while now, but this dimension/sliver idea came as a pleasant surprise to many fans. It’s a creative idea, uniquely suited to RIFT, and sounds like it will allow players a large dose of freedom. Now all we need is, you know, more details. In the meantime, players have started a few community discussions on what ideas they’d like to see implemented into the system. Here is one such discussion. Let’s take a look at some of those ideas!
