Where in the real life world do you live?
Thief River Falls, MN How long have you played EQ?
About 2 years What other MMOs have you played?
None What type of work do you do?
Full-time College Student How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
6 to 8 hours What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
I spend the first hour or so (While waking up) making sure my characters have needed spells, bank inventory and clean up, then I bug my RL brother to get on so we can go work on quests. What was the race and class of your very first character?
Barbarian - Beastloard What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
I have played many types of computer games (Mostly first person shooting games). Cheating has turned me away from games in the past. So here I am playing EverQuest. What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I read books a lot, but EQ has consumed my life when I have free time. What is your highest level in EQ?
Level 68 What race and class is your main character?
Dwarf - Cleric What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
Even though he is considered a healer, I like the fact he can still melee and drop mobs when needed. Does your main character worship a deity?
Brell Serilis How did you choose your main character's name?
The first two characters created I used the random generator, and then named the rest of my characters close to the first two. Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Most. I mainly play Dwarf, Gnome, and Halfling. What can I say … I like the little guys. What is your favorite expansion?
DoN What is your favorite zone?
Some would say The Guild Lobby because I end up there a lot, but I'm kind of partial to BBM because I have leveled all of my characters fresh out of the mines there. What is your favorite NPC?
Magus. Nothing better than a port when I'm in a hurry. Which expansion do you like the least?
TBS – I paid for the expansion and have never been there, and now with the newest expansion nobody wants to even try some of the zones. Which zone do you like the least?
After doing the cleric 1.0 epic [two times for two characters](I forget the name of the zone, but had to do many turn-ins there) the zone was huge and I spent more time running above the water to get where I needed to go than doing a turn-in. I've never fought a mob there, and feel as if the size of the zone is a waste. Which NPC do you like the least?
The vendors in the Guild Lobby … they constantly take my coin so I can summon my body. (I heal others with little or no regard for my own life when I'm playing… so I die a lot) What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
80,000 Plat for an MQable drop from Plane of Sky for my Mage 1.0 epic. I hated to do it, but spent 8 months trying to get people to group and do the zone for the drop. 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?
The gold coins that you receive when a character is created. I think all of my characters still have them because I never found out what they were for, and I was too lazy to get rid of them. What do you like best about EverQuest?
The challenge of accomplishing quests and defeating mobs that require team work. What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
A chance to leave real life behind for a while. Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
The first time I soloed that blasted fish in Kedge Keep for the mage 1.0 epic. He killed me a lot on solo missions, so once I figured out how to solo the mob I felt a bit of relief and pride in knowing I managed the task by myself. Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
No
