WoW, Star Wars, City of Heroes, D&D Online

What type of work do you do?
Manager

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
5 hours

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Telling everyone "Hi", catching up on everyone's day, waiting for people to decide what to kill, then going helping the guild kill the mob, finally, talking some more to everyone before logging off.

What was the race and class of your very first character?
Human bard

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
My friends got me into gaming and I like the MMOG.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I like to read the fantasy novels (D&D, Black Library, etc), exercise and cook

What is your highest level in EQ?
75 (I hate when they up the levels)

What race and class is your main character?
Dark elf cleric, but I like my Gnome necromancer, my half-elf druid, my human bard, my wood elf rogue, and my high elf mage.

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I like helping everyone get their items.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Do you need to ask, it's Inny.

How did you choose your main character's name?
It is my name backwards

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
I have played them all. I have 16 characters on two accounts.

What is your favorite expansion?
TSS (it has nice easy armor quests and good graphics but is laggy)

What is your favorite zone?
Icefall (A bit cold for my semi-naked dark elf) and old Splitpaw with the gnolls

What is your favorite npc?
Sir Lucan (I like when he changes after you kill him)

Which expansion do you like the least?
Omens of War? I think that had all the "keyed" places. I think keying is stupid or at least when a new expansion is opened the other keys should go away.

Which zone do you like the least?
Any keyed zone I could never get to; otherwise, i like all the zones. I wish they would fix up the old zone or add extra levels ot say splitpaw/blackburrow insrtead of adding newer zones.

Which npc do you like the least?
Holly Windstalker (I kill her on sight and I still owe her a few.)

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
None, I let my friends buy my stuff (although I did buy expensive spells RK 2)

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?
I have a flower from Mistmoore that was given to me by my first "EQ" husband. It's in the bank and never gets used.

What do you like best about EverQuest?
Talking with my friends and guildmates, I also like doing easy quests that do not take forever to do.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
Usually it is relaxing unless I cannot keep up my healing. Then I feel bad when they die.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
When I turned in my last piece for my Clicky Rez stick epic. I felt as if I accomplished something. (I want to thank everyone who helped me too)

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
No. I am computer dysfunctional.
