Talking to members of my guild, grouping or soloing mobs in old world. What was the race and class of your very first character? Human Shadowknight. What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? What got me into gaming was playing my first game of Diablo I was hooked ever since! RPG's and Strategy games like Warcraft. What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest? Playing with my son and listening to music, Also hiking. What is your highest level in EQ? 70 .. No TSS :). What race and class is your main character? Human Shadowknight. What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? it's a diverse and multi utility class that never gets boring. Does your main character worship a deity? Innoruuk. How did you choose your main character's name? My nickname in RL was rebel. When I was chatting in Excite VP I made a hybrid of Rebel and Genocide and the name has stuck with me since then. Which classes in EQ have you NOT played? Berserker. What is your favorite expansion? Planes of Power. The ability to kill God's was just amazing to me and made you feel so powerful in knowing you took down a creator. What is your favorite zone? The Forgotten Halls. I love the fact you can get it solo and just kind of get away from everyone and constant chatter outside guild chat/tells. What is your favorite npc? Favorite would have to be Noqufiel, Awesome event and his plot/lore is just amazing to read. Which expansion do you like the least? Legacy of Ykesha - It really was a fill in to me besides the new additions the appeal of the zones and events was very weak. Plus they made my God a total wimp. Which zone do you like the least? West Karana - TOO LONG!!!. Which npc do you like the least? Morden Rasp, The way he was brought in and used made the whole GoD expansion feel impersonal cause all the stories made it seem like he was doing the work not the players. Plus the storyline dropped off to sudden at a epic point. What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? I can't even remember but I do know I walked through 20k once so fast and didn't really have anything to show for it. 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? Greatblade of Chaos and my Petrified Heartwood Flamberge. GBoC cause it was the moment my life in eq changed from a casual gamer to a raider and PHF cause it to me is the best looking sword in game still. What do you like best about EverQuest? the indepth never ending content and the close relationships I have made. Most I will cherish forever like my good friend Chanaluss. What do you get out of playing EverQuest? Close friends, a escape from the world I live in where I can come and all the problems go away for a bit as I take care of myself and my guild. Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest? Tanking Shyra, The fact I tanked her for so long and almost to the end was amazing and had me on the edge of my seat. Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site? Nope I do not but wouldn't mind it, Know one that wants me? :).
