Just minutes ago, Trion Worlds took down their servers for a two-hour downtime to bring Patch 1.6: Ember Isle to the masses. Along with this patch release, they've also provided a dandy trailer to get you all excited and ready to dive into Rift's new content. Here at ZAM, we've also been hard at work compiling guides, hands-on experiences and interviews in preparation for 1.6, so be sure to check out:

• Rift's 1.6 Patch Notes
• ZAM's "From the Embers" Guides
• Staff Writer Paul "LockeColeMA" Cleveland's Hands-on Experiences
• ZAM's 1.6 Interview with Trion World's Hal Hanlin
