Plenty of time to mark your calendars for this one:

Head over to the Official Forums and Post your question quick to be in for a answer in this Thursday's Live Stream!

We're hosting a LIVE Stream with the Loremaster himself on THURSDAY, 3/7 @ 10:00AM Pacific (6:00PM GMT) - www.twitch.tv/trionworlds

Greetings!

We’ve seen the lore hounds getting more and more excited for the future of RIFT and we know you’re hungry for more info about the lands of Storm Legion and how everything is going to fit together.

Now is your chance to ask the questions that have kept you curious – what storylines do you want to know more about? What plots confuse you? What does the future hold for Telara?

Share your questions with us and in the next couple of weeks we’ll release a full blown Q&A answering as many of your questions as we can!

Obviously when it comes to Storm Legion – some of it will be left to surprise you, and we don’t like posting spoilers. It’s still very much in development, so even if we did want to share there are some things still yet to be decided.

The only rule is your question be related to the history, lore, and people of Telara – other than that, ask away and we look forward sharing our answers!

First of all, I can't believe that I'm re-publishing that picture.

It is, however, truly a happy little thing. To keep my childhood memories of Bob Ross whole, I'll instead quote Trion's Hal Hanlin, Dimension Creator Extraordinaire, who so kindly has done all of the hard work:

I know that you've been having fun learning to create in Dimensions, putting in quiet little trees, maybe adding a stream that winds through some rocks. You've made a happy little place where you can relax when you're not beating kobolds with your brushes. Or maybe it's a monument to your guild killing Sicaron in a happy little accident? It could be anything, use your imagination.

More after these messages.

Welcome back. Trion is having a Joy of Dimensions contest! I'll show you mine if you sh... never mind, enough karma loss in this post already.

Share, visit, and vote until February 21 here. As far as I can tell, you need to use Facebook to participate (not sure that makes me happy, little or otherwise).

And don't forget to check out some of the dimensions that have been shared here...
