What type of work do you do? I am a director of a global software company, in charge of all the technical side of the Canadian business.

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ? 4 hours a night, 6 days a week.

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you? Log on to raid, raid, if finish early do a group for something, or surf the web a bit.

What was the race and class of your very first character? Iksar Monk... Azathool was the first character I made, and is still my main to this day.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I started playing paper based Dungeons & Dragons.. many years ago.. (30 !). Yes, I'm old. EQ is just an extension of that, and roleplaying / adventure games are still my favourite.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest? I like sailing (dingies), I used to do racing at national competition level, now only recreational when I can find the time.

What is your highest level in EQ? 70.

What race and class is your main character? Iksar monk.

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? Feign Death.

Does your main character worship a deity? Cazic Thule, although I'd say Iksar fear rather than worship him.

How did you choose your main character's name? It started with the letter "A" and sounded wierd.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played? Rather, that HAVE I played (seriously); A monk to 70, a cleric to 70 (CoA raid level), a shaman to 68 (Plane of Time).

What is your favorite expansion? Planes of Power.

What is your favorite zone? Kaesora. It was the first zone I "raided", and to this day I remember it backwards. A "true" dungeon.

What is your favorite npc? Im an Iksar, so we hate all NPC's.

Which expansion do you like the least? Legacy of Yeksha.

Which zone do you like the least? Guild Halls. Whilst I like the suspended timers on buffs, I hate the way it segregates and splits up the player base. PoK should have aura's in the pools that do the same thing.

Which npc do you like the least? The NPC I cannot kill.

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? Hmm, probably around 400,000 pp, can't really say I take much notice about my plat since there is nothing I can buy with pp that would be an upgrade.

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 monk Epic 1, because of the effort and time it took to get.

What do you like best about EverQuest? The community and game content, I could not care less about the graphics, as long as the game is interesting and the content is good.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest? It's a hobby and pass-time for me. I do not really watch TV at all, so it's my evening entertainment.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest? Getting my Epic 1, was a truly awesome day. I put a LOT of effort into it, and back when I did it, the final fight needed a lot of people to win, tons of ppl from all over the server turned up to help.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site? No.
