Once upon a time, those who sought the glory of battling for the Hall of Heroes would first have to battle the Rift Wardens. Soon, however, the great hand of ArenaNet slew the wardens, replacing them with spirits. It was then that a group of travelers and adventurers formed a new guild called Bring Back the Rifts. It was their fervent hope that the guild's name would be transmitted throughout the lands and their pleas answered: that the forces that banished the Rift Wardens would bring them back once more.

The goal of Bring Back the Rifts [Rift] is simple: to have fun and win while doing so, and to hasten the day when the Rift Wardens will once again summon their little minions to assault the Ghostly Hero. At the same time, Rift tries to create builds that are counter to the meta-game, preferring not to run builds that are just like everyone else's. Currently the guild has a total of seventeen members, most of whom play PvP combat—the guild's main focus—on a daily basis.
