i know that a lot of you will suggest i'm full of something else too
Aw, comeon, we (me) are not that evil!
my response in advance is, arnt we all?
Some more than others (I don't mean you) ;0).
I'll just quote from the interview:
Jonric : How important will weapons, armor / clothing and other items be? Will there be many different ones and will upgrades be possible? Will any be rare or unique? And what are some interesting new ones?
Swen Vincke : There is a very high degree of item fever in Riftrunner. One of those back end changes was to change the entire equipment system into something a lot more sensible and balanced. We had lots of complaints about that, so it's something we really wanted to address.
I don't want to give out too many details yet so I'll just limit myself to answering your questions in the shortest possible way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Very, many, a lot, yes, yes and how about incredibly potent donkey ears? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
