Podcast 21: Hal Hanlin on Souls, Endgame, and Rift Rewards

by on Nov.22, 2010, under Blog, Podcast

Hi Everyone! The Podcast has come of age – we’re 21 today! We find this very exciting and think everyone should buy us a drink! ;)

Hal Hanlin is our guest today. He is Rift’s Design Producer and tells us a bit about himself, and what he likes to play. He also goes over a lot of things directly Rift related and gives us some clarification on a few, and some new tidbits on others. Some of the content he covers includes:

  • Soul system and its diversity
  • Soul acquirement
  • Rifts and all their forms
  • Rewards from Rifts
  • Endgame from Day 1
  • Adding content after launch
  • Pie!

We talk to Cindy ‘Abigale’ Bowens about the up and coming Beta Event weekend on December 3rd 2010 and how the NDA will be applicable to all participants.

Today we also launch our final random Beta VIP Pass contest. It involves Haiku’s, comments and hopefully a lot of fun. Take a listen to the podcast to find out the instructions and the topic.

We welcome English, French, and German language entires. If you’d like to post an entry in another language, please also post a translation into one of the aforementioned languages alongside the original entry. The entry must be posted in a comment on the Podcast 21 Blog Post. Anyone can enter, but only one entry per person. Entries must be in by November 26th at Midnight CST. The Winners will be notified in time to use their keys for the Dec 3 beta event.

Don’t forget, it’s Thanksgiving coming up this week, so the Podcast Team will be taking a (what we think is) well deserved break. Our next podcast won’t be until December 6th – after the first Beta weekend… but don’t worry the winners will get their keys in time to participate.

We hope you all enjoy the little contest, and the podcast.
