IT Manager

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
3 – 3 ½ Hours, 5 nights a week

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Login, check the guild to see who is on, check my friends list. Try to come up with interesting things for the guild members to do. KILL STUFF!!

What was the race and class of your very first character?
Barbarian Warrior

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
My wife and I have always enjoyed various adventure games. But I actually tried EQ at the suggestion of my brother who was a UBER magician. He's now gone on to EQ2. (Traitor!!)

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
Enjoy the backyard garden, enjoy my grand children, watch NBA basketball

What is your highest level in EQ?
75

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?
I am a really busy guy, slowing, dotting, casting Panther, Canni Dancing and doing the occasional healing as needed. I never have downtime when we're pulling and fighting fast and furious, and I seldom find myself with nothing to do.

Does your main character worship a deity?
The Tribunal

How did you choose your main character's name?
My first character was named Jandolar (He's still around) which was named after a character in the "Clan of the Cave Bear" series of books.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Just about all of them. I have tried a warrior, cleric and beastlord, but I keep coming back to the high paced fun of playing my shaman.

What is your favorite expansion?
The Serpent's Spine

What is your favorite zone?
Right now, I really enjoy Muramite Proving Grounds

What is your favorite npc?
I really don't have one, unless you count the one I just killed for the uber loot!! Hehe…

Which expansion do you like the least?
Depths of Dark Hollows

Which zone do you like the least?
Riftseeker's Sanctum, only because I've not been real successful there.

Which npc do you like the least?
Hey, I love everyone!

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
100,000 on a piece of grandmaster armor and the corresponding augment.

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?
When I joined my first guild, their most experienced blacksmither gave me a crafted weapon that he made just for me. I still have it in the bank, even though I no longer have any use for it.

What do you like best about EverQuest?
I love the companionship of others throughout the world. But more importantly, I love the fact that my wife of 32 years, enjoys EQ with me. Erylon, the most powerful Luclin paladin, is my companion and we do just about everything together. That's what I love about EQ!

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
It's an inexpensive form of entertainment, my wife can play together and we meet extremely interesting people all over the world (Hi Tarremer – over in the U.K.!)

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
After 2 years and 26 days, I finally won my Epic 1.0 weapon. It was terribly tedious, but now that it's over, I have my guild to thank for hanging in there with me and helping when they could!

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Nope, unless you count managing the guild's message board. (We're all fans….)
