[polpotsaFAG]

Hey mate, thanks for the quick reply on my last comment. i was wondering whats the best server/world to play on if youre Australian?

[sambonz]

@polpotsaFAG np! the official AUS server is the one we're on; Laethys =)

[PrinceSephiroth]

P.P.S: I meant, "It makes you even sexier". X)

[PrinceSephiroth]

I like the fact that you play Guardian. It makes you even secier. ;)

P.S.: The Defiants are the ultimate douches.

[sambonz]

@PrinceSephiroth hah! generally i always play the good/light/righteous/etc side first. honestly not sure why but so it is ;p

[Raxapheon]

@josephlahh TOTALLY AGREEE!!! XDDD

[Raxapheon]

Tallahasee is better dancer of course

[sambonz]

@Raxapheon ahaha CARLTON! =)

[MagisterBri]

Shame that you don't dance like your toon. :(

[sambonz]

@MagisterBri Tallahassee can ;)

[Poogist]

Well, Since the other faction (Defiant) are scientists who fight with technology, I guess there may be some kind of tech in game

[sambonz]

@Poogist there sure is, as i discover later in the series =)

[zackyd666]

unsure if you noticed or not but next to your money on the vendor screen is the auto sell junk

[sambonz]

@zackyd666 hehe cheers - yes, i eventually discover that later in the series =)

[PlacidDirge]

Looks like Carlton found himself a ditzy wallflower!

Not seen Zombie Land!? *Froths at the mouth with baffled fury. *

[sambonz]

@PlacidDirge haha yeh i know - i never get the time to watch many movies! i do need to watch it tho, sounds great =)

[items419]

Is this game a grinding fest like WoW?

[sambonz]

@items419 not so far (yay!) although i can't speak for the endgame as we're only like level 15 at the moment. so far tho, the game has been anything but grindy =)

[Poogist]

@sambonz It is not quite a grind fest, you have rifts, dungeons, pvp and quests to level on. I played since beta, but I've made so many different chars I'm still not level 50 (got a level 47 though)

[sambonz]

@Poogist hehe yup, having played much further into the game since this video, it's turning out great just how many ways there are to play and enjoy the game =)

[sambonz]

@StarWarsTDSaintsRow ...(cont) so they're totally different beasts really =) Rift is a traditional MMO with multiple activities and very in-depth game systems, and traditional 'skill-based' combat. DCUO on the other hand is more of an 'action fix' type of game, with a very action-orientated realtime combat system, and in many ways is akin to playing Darksiders or Prototype. it really depends what your personal gaming preference is - hopefully this series helps you see what it's like! =)

[sambonz]

@StarWarsTDSaintsRow hrm that's a tough question.. Rift is without doubt a 'AAA' title. it's obvious from the moment you load up the game that an enormous amount of effort and polish has gone into it's creation. the Soul Tree alone would've been a logistical and balancing nightmare. it's probably one of my most favourite MMo's at the moment, and for good reason. however, it's a *lot* different to DCUO (which was designed with console players in mind) and is therefore more 'action' orientated..

[kohlner]

I am considdering getting rift, would you recommend it for a guy thats gotten sick of the grinding in WoW?

[sambonz]

@kohlner absolutely. like many others have said, it's probably one of the best MMO's i've played in the last 5 years. they've basically taken all of the great aspects found in other MMO's and implemented them into Rift, which is no bad thing.

i highly recommend it, for what it's worth =)

[kons42]

When you sell stuff to a NPC vendor look for the little icon at the bottom right corner of the menu near where your gold is, there's the option there to sell all your grey stuff at once.

[sambonz]

@kons42 oh wow - didn't know about that. thanks!
