Off and on since 2000

What other MMOs have you played?
None

What type of work do you do?
I am currently in school and working in restaurants

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
4-6 hours

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Well, I wake my character up from a much needed rest, and prepare to lead an army into the depths of horror. We form up and get going at around 7 eastern, and we battle the foes and horrors that plague our beloved Norrath. We battle tirelessly until around midnight, whereas I must let them rest. After a good night making the gods regret their existence, we all sit around the fire and drink ale. After a bad night, we lick our wounds, bury our dead, and mourn those who have come and gone before us.

What was the race and class of your very first character?
Halfling rogue

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
My brother opened my eyes to this alternate world where you can be whoever you wish to be. I have only played in Norrath, other games are always lacking.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I enjoy reading, going to movies, and generally making myself as much of a rogue as I can.

What is your highest level in EQ?
75

What race and class is your main character?
Vah Shir Rogue

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I love the roleplaying aspect of the rogue, I like the stealth and the damage I am able to deal out. She is sexy, what is not to love.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Bristlebane

How did you choose your main character's name?
I am a fairy tale fanatic, it just came to me one day.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
I have not played any class other than a beastlord and rogue past level 50. My rogue is the only one to make it to 75

What is your favorite expansion?
Depths of Darkhollows, was the first expansion I helped a guild to clear.

What is your favorite zone?
The hole, I have many fond memories of picnics by the lake there.

What is your favorite NPC?
The demi orcs, I love how they always spin on their right foot.

Which expansion do you like the least?
Which expansion came out with zerkers?

Which zone do you like the least?
I like em all

Which NPC do you like the least?
Kelethin, I died way too many times there learning to hit enter before I spoke to an NPC

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
100k

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 can't remember the name, but it is the dagger from the bard in Mistmoore before it got revamped vamped. I keep it because I was the last character on Emarr to get one. My guild downed her the night before the zone was put back.

What do you like best about EverQuest?
I like the fact that you can be whoever you want to be. You get to meet people you would otherwise never know, the networking capabilities blow my mind. You get to know people based on their personalities, not their looks.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
I get the enjoyment of playing with friends, and some I have come to consider as family. I get to help lead a team of fantastic people in their quest to conquer the world. And I get to look at human monks and warriors all day, what more is there?

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
I was leading the hedge event (back when it was still hard). I had only been allowed to come along on this event once before and we had not won. I was level 52 and thankfully no one had noticed that yet. We had no clerics or enchanters, but we still managed to win. It was due to some amazing skills from a few rangers (ghetto mez ftw) and druid/shamans.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Nope
