Prepare to dive back into Rift, as Trion worlds has just announced that update 1.9, Conquest, is now live on the game’s servers bringing with it three faction PvP.

A new PvP system lets players join one of three Ascended factions–Dominion, Oathsworn, or Nightfall–to battle over an alternate version of Telara’s Stillmoor zone for some epic rewards. The update features:

• Conquest – Choose one of three faction groups for an all-out, cross-shard PvP war in an alternate-reality version of Stillmoor. Battle to control the Sourcestone Extractors, craft engines of war to aid your team, and build up bonuses that last beyond victory
• Instant Adventure – Instant Adventure comes to Freemarch, Silverwood, Gloamwood, and Stonefield
• Mentoring – Progress your character while helping your friends with low-level content
• Barbershop – Change your appearance with a quick trip to the Stylist
• New Sliver – Defeat Fae Lord Twyl in Primeval Feast
• World Event – Camp out with Summerfest and participate in scavenger hunts throughout Telara

Once you log-in the update will start downloading automatically, after it’s done you can waste your day away investigating all the new content.
