What does a typical EQ day consist of for you? I box a bard & cleric that can duo take most normal dodh / rss mobs so I tend to form my own groups and go do whatever I feel like that day until raids start. Then after raids I sometimes try to hit some old school targets.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? The first gaming system I got was the original Nintendo for Christmas. I first started playing fighting games (pit fighter, final fight, street fighter etc) and action RPG type games (Zelda). I then started playing RPGs and RTS (Mario RPG, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, red alert, age of empires). I find that consoles get old to fast for me and prefer online play with other real people.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest? I play other computer games, Scuba diving, camping, white water rafting, skiing, swimming, paintball, & play little guitar.

Does your main character worship a deity? Tunare (sorry I had to kill you once).
How did you choose your main character's name? I am a huge FF fan.

What is your favorite expansion? Velious for grouping and PoP for raiding.
What is your favorite zone? Cobalt Scar (beach music and othmirs).
What is your favorite npc? Kerafyrm (I love the crystal dragon look).
Which expansion do you like the least? LDON because it got old fast.
Which zone do you like the least? Jagged Pine because of the lag.
Which npc do you like the least? Ireblind Imp (one of the most annoying fights).

Do you have an item you no longer use but keep around for nostalgic reasons? If so what is it and why do you keep it? Yes, my 8th Coldain shawl, all my keys even though they are on the key ring.
What do you like best about EverQuest? I like being able to take my raid gear and go back killing old school raid targets with small forces. At most there may be some clickies that drop or twink gear but you can enjoy the fights without worrying about loot.
What do you get out of playing EverQuest? I like being able to get online and play games with other real people and knowing that the game will not end because new content will be added.
Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest. The most memorable was with one of my older guilds. We raided smith rondo one Saturday and afterward we got a single group together and went for vxed. We started killing and after triggering the flag mob we used selos and DA for mad dash to the end and got our flags. Having won that we headed for tipt and plowed through it to the end (after nearly wiping 3 times) we took down the boss and got your KT flags finished. Basically 8 hours after logging on I had finished my KT flag with EP gear and all on first attempt at the trials.
Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site? No
