What type of work do you do? quality management
How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ? 3-4 hours
What does a typical EQ day consist of for you? Equip toon with water and food, then continue with planned tasks, quests, skill-ups for alchemy during looking for group or going to raid with guild.
What was the race and class of your very first character? Dwarf Paladin
What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? A friend of mine got me into Everquest and I was hooked since then, although he left EQ long ago. I like most RPG's, CoSims and strategic games, further complex board games.
What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest? I read scifi and fantasy books, too. Sometimes I translate English rule descriptions into German.
What is your highest level in EQ? 72
What race and class is your main character? Barbarian Shaman.
What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? Its versatile use; spells, abilities, a shaman can do a lot: fight, cast, infiltrate, alchemy, solo and in groups.
Does your main character worship a deity? Yes, the Tribunal.
How did you choose your main character's name? My choice was influenced by the scandinavian myths, Sigurd is a mythical hero there. Sigurdsdottir means "daughter of Sigurd" and Sigrit is a Scandinavian female first name. Originally her first name was Sigrid, but I had to change it as the German Server Kael Drakkal has been merged with Antonius Bayle.

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? 7.5 k
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? Eye of Cazic Thule – it reminds me to the time when my former guild "Der Stern Norraths" with its ally "Templer des Sturms" killed Cazic Thule at the Plane of Fear in first try, first kill.
What do you like best about EverQuest? To have a good time with people who like similar things as I like.
What do you get out of playing EverQuest? Manage to understand different wishes and intents of different individuals.
Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest? Long ago on my first raid I lead to the Plane of Fear, the first two "elite" break-in groups went down shortly after entry, as foretold by far more experienced players. I sent in a hastily gathered group of "leftovers" with a druid as main healer and an alt warrior as main tank, which managed to save the day. At that same day I got my Child's Tear for the Shaman Epic 1.0.
Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site? no
