Where in the real life world do you live?
I live in Florida

How long have you played EQ?
Almost one year. Since I've been playing EQ, I have never felt any better. I try to get on and play about 6 or more hours a day.

What other MMOs have you played?
The only other MMO I have played was Guild Wars. I stopped playing Guild Wars because the max level you can get in that game is 20.

What type of work do you do?
Right now I'm just trying to finish school, but I plan to do something in the gamming world.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
On weekdays I play around 6-8 hours if I can. On weekends I can play up to 17-20 hours on Saturday, and on Sunday I play about 14-17 hours.

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
I log on go on to my main toon Damndionic right now as of 5/2/2007 he is a level 64 drakkin monk. So when I'm on him I first say hi to my guild, they say hi back. After checking if they needed any help with me, I would then head 2 out of 3 of my favorite zones, Wall of Slaughter (WoS). I would try and find a group there. If I was unable to find a group in WoS, I would then head over to Grieg's End (GE) and solo to get some AA experience, on until I find a group somewhere else.

What was the race and class of your very first character?
Erudite Mage, I got rid of that toon at level 34. I just didn't like the Erudite, and how the robes looked on them. Now I really regret doing that, some day I will re-make my mage and level him as much as my monk.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
I really don't remember what got me in to gaming. The other games I might play once in a blue moon would be Battle Field 2, or good old Diablo II.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
Other then playing EQ, I just watch TV, Eat and relax. I don't really do anything besides playing EQ. May sound like I have no life, well I do, EQ just something I do for FUN!

What is your highest level in EQ?
64

What race and class is your main character?
Drakkin Monk

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I like the fact that the monk is able to FD and the dps that the monks have is awesome for many groups. I am also the main puller in my guild for raids and big groups.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Veeshan

How did you choose your main character's name?
I really didn't mean to keep this toon. But I just liked the monk, kept leveling it and I just could not let it go.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
I have tried all of the classes but have not gotten a ranger past 20.

What is your favorite expansion?
TSS

What is your favorite zone?
Walls of Slaughter

What is your favorite NPC?
Ritaz in Mines of Glooming Deep. I like the fact that if you hit him he 1hit KO's you. I once thought of putting a level 10 raid together and try and take him out, I still might do that.

Which expansion do you like the least?
PoR

Which zone do you like the least?
Karnor's castle

Which NPC do you like the least?
Fippy Darkpaw

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
40,000pp

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?
Stave of The Eternal. I have had that on my monk since he was in the 20's. I no longer use it because I have weapons way better then that. I wont get rid of it because I spent a ton on it.

What do you like best about EverQuest?
I like the fact that anything can happen in it. You don't know what SOE will do next, you don't know what you're going to do your self when you first log on, it's just a huge world that is open for anything new.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
When I play EQ, I know that I just feel at home, and feel happy. Meeting your friends in the world of Norrath is just enough for me.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
The best experience from playing EQ is when I first made my first toon. I walk in to PoK from the tutorial and I had no clue were to go. So I wandered around and well I ended up in the arena and well got my but handed to my by an level 70 wizard. So I went back to glooming deep and luckily I have a real life friend that thought me how to get my corpse back and actually get to the right zone I need to be in.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
NO
