Sleeping and gaming of course! (when not working at least)

What is your highest level in EQ?
75

What race and class is your main character?
High Elf Magician

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
No matter what game I have played, I have always been a fan of the summoning type and magicians are the closest to it.

Does your main character worship a deity?
Yes, Tunare, but why I chose Tunare I do not know

How did you choose your main character's name?
Kind of a story to it, I wanted to make a summoning class so I clicked on magician and saw the races to them, had a debate in myself over high elf or dark elf but eventually chose the pale one, but the way he looked screamed Japanese to me, so I tried to think back to the Japanese-esk names I've used and came up with Kaurii thinking I've made it up and voila. (Side note of irony, I found out about a year later that Kaurii is actually a Norwegian god of the forest)

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Wizard. I've never really cared for it and I die enough as a mage thank you very much.

What is your favorite expansion?
Gates of Discord! Oh man I just love the layout of the zones, just magnificent

What is your favorite zone?
Felwithe, but not for the reason you think....... I hate the fact high elves are goody-goodies so I go through and slaughter the elves occasionally when bored.

What is your favorite NPC?
Sirran The Lunatic in Plain of sky, he has always been my favorite NPC and always will be ever since one of my first raids near Kauri'is birth.... someone said not to /say or anything like that while he was up but stupid me did, the phrase he said....I can never forget it, For the Bunnies! 50 player wipe ^_^

Which expansion do you like the least?
Omens of War... mainly because I grew up near the release of it, it was so tedious and I would die just visiting it.

Which zone do you like the least?
Riftseekers Sanctum The lag is just so horrible!

Which NPC do you like the least?
About Any towns priest of discord........ before the agro nerf on him I could be having a great day then agro the priest, and try to run to a zoneline but have around 6 or 7 guards chasing me.

150k Guess what the item was! Go n guess! It was a high level pet item spell a few months after TSS release.

Being able to help people, may it be just imparting a little knowledge in the General channel or trying to pick up the spirits of my friends when they might be blue.
