What's a MMO? What type of work do you do?
IT Systems Engineer How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ?

Look to see what other guildies are on and join them if I can, if not then see what quests I have left to do or just go AA'ing What was the race and class of your very first character?
Dwarf warrior called Janker *sigh* I miss him What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?
I have been into computer games even since pong (yes I am that old) so really it was listening to the other kids at school talk about their systems. I like tactic games such as StarCraft and Populous but I also play a lot of driving games, mainly the NFS games. What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest?
I love music, always have it playing, either in the car or playing EQ. What is your highest level in EQ?
80 What race and class is your main character?
Gnome Necro What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character?
I love that I can either solo or be part of a group, I know they are mainly known for soloing, there are a lot of people out there that don't know the value of a Necro in the group. Does your main character worship a deity?
Bertie of course….wait, there are other deities? How did you choose your main character's name?
It's the name of a character of a kids program I use to watch when I was about 7 or 8. It was not until many years later that I found out it was a place in Canada Which classes in EQ have you NOT played?
Bard. What is your favorite expansion?
SoF, it seems to cater for almost every class What is your favorite zone?
Icefall What is your favorite NPC?
Bertie Which expansion do you like the least?
LDoN Which zone do you like the least?
Katta Castrum Which NPC do you like the least?
Shadowhunter, he has killed me sooooooo many times. What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters?
100k on upgrading my roboboar 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?
My 1.0, how could I destroy something I worked on and camped that long for? What do you like best about EverQuest?
The people, I know there are a few that are trouble but 90% of people just play the game, does not matter your colour, race, gender, the way it should be in RL What do you get out of playing EverQuest?
Fun, fun, fun. Beats sitting in front of the TV. People ask me "Do you still play that stupid game?". I just look at them and think, yeah and you sat and watched the TV for 5 hours and I bet you can not remember 80% of what went on, I on the other hand completed a quest, took down a named, spoke to a lot of my friends, explored a new world and made some money and I remembered 80% of what went on. Lets face it, EQ is a platform game, a beat 'em up, a tactic game and a chat room. Perhaps I should ask them "Did you watch that stupid TV last night?" Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest?
Hmm... good question. I met my girlfriend playing EQ (Fria, Woodelf Druid) and as soon as we can, we are getting married (She lives in the USA) so helping her the day she joined the guild, that was the first time I met her, had to be my best experience. Oh and completing my 1.5. Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site?
No, there is enough out there no need for me to start another.
