Being Australian too I completely understand the dilemma. My current character is probably the fifth time I've rolled the same race/class/name in a comeback attempt to CF... It can be a pain in the ass! I just figure if you find something you enjoy playing just for the hell of it, it'll eventually crawl up the ranks and make hero range. Instead of setting rank goals for every session just approach it with an open mind, smoke a few pipes, drink a few beers and see what happens... Unless your Victorian, then it's probably better your out learning how to drive.
