If you haven't tried out Rift yet, Trion Worlds is giving everyone the opportunity to dive into Telara before the game launches on March 1. The team just announced that it will be hosting a six-day open beta event from Tuesday, Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. PST to Monday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m.

No beta keys are necessary to participate in the "Telara the Merciless" open beta event. All you need to do is sign up on the official Rift site for a guaranteed spot in the event. That's it!

The open beta event will bump the level cap up to 42 and give players access to three PvP warfronts and several zones and dungeons to explore. The event leads into the head start period, which begins on Feb. 24 for players who pre-order the game.

Trion Worlds is also giving away some prizes during the open beta. Defeat any dungeon boss and you could be eligible to win an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video card! In addition, in-game prize packs will be given away to 10 select players who complete the objective.
