Where in the real life world do you live?
Astoria, Oregon How long have you played EQ?
I started with toon in the middle of 2000 on a friend's computer, only part time though. Started my first toon in Oct. of 2000 What other MMOs have you played?
I tried WoW but didn't like much, besides I already had time into EQ so wasn't going to start all over again. What type of work do you do?
Construction Maintenance How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?
It depends on the day I guess and the season....winter I'm on whenever I am at home and awake, but in the summer I'm out doing stuff so don't log in to much. What does a typical EQ day consist of for you?
Well lets see, as soon as I log on I grab a bowl of batwing crunchies cereal, toss back a flask of water, I head over to the Bazaar and check prices to see if their are any spells I'm missing from my book, then I'll go LFG in gen channel, if nothing comes up I will tease someone I know in /gu channel or in gen. After awhile my oldest son will log! his SK and we would head out to TBS and duo named mobs until a group is LFP in a good xp zone then I'll grab that...then well...grind AA's until I get tried or bored then I'll log on my alt to level him for an hour or two. What was the race and class of your very first character?
Barbarian Warrior What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
Well...RPGS mostly, but I have been known to save the world from the Nazis on Occasion in first person. What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?

Human Druid What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
Gotta be the ability to go wherever I like when I want to go there, I know that necs are better soloers then droods but I cant bring myself to play an evil class Does your main character worship a deity?
DUH! Tunare How did you choose your main character's name?
OK, this question popped up once before when I was applying for a guild… it's silly but heh, it happened......ok, back in 2000 when i was starting Ismott I was sitting in front of the create screen and couldn't decide on a name, I was sicker then a dog with the flu and couldn't keep anything down and couldn't lie down, so My wife heads to the store for dinner and calls me from there to see if I can eat anything....she asks me if I can keep down some applesauce and I said i would try.....so then she asked me if… and I quote "Is Motts ok? I said yes and Hung up, and that ladies and gentlemen is how Ismott the Wanderer was Born...corny… I know. Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
None of the evil classes and I wouldn't be caught dead playing a Ranger :P What is your favorite expansion?

I'm a druid and even though there's no mobs left for my level I still hold a soft spot in my heart in Cobalt Scar What is your favorite npc?

Yes, my 1.0 epic, worked my rear end off for it....(I couldn't get the darn brownies to spawn) Looks cool though. What do you like best about EverQuest?
The interaction between players, the trial and error process when your going after a mob. What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
A sense of accomplishment when we win (Holy Smoke! I didn't DIE?) Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
Well, the funniest would have to have been when I was level 30ish in unrest......Top floor of the mansion, 2 pali friends and I were taking the mobs and somehow I got my back turned to the window... humm Healed a friend and got agro and the mobs hit me so hard I was knocked out the window to my death. I don't know why but that was just funny to me../shrug. Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
Nope
