How long have you played EQ? Since the release of Ruins of Kunark

What other MMOs have you played? None

What type of work do you do? Design consultant for large scale audio systems

How long is your typical gaming session when playing EQ? 4 hours

What does a typical EQ day consist of for you? There are two typical EQ days for me, Raiding and trying to complete group task/missions. 8-12 hours a week is my typical playtime.

What was the race and class of your very first character? Halfling Warrior

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most? I have been gaming since Pong. Other than EQ, Civilization is my favorite game. I also like playing pinball, real pinball.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing EverQuest? Music is at the top of the list, followed very closely by helping the enviroment.

What is your highest level in EQ? 74... but give me another week or so and it will be 75.

What race and class is your main character? Halfling Ranger.

What do you like the most about the class you have chosen for your main character? The versatility. Rangers can (and do!!) fill so many roles in both Raid and group content. Despite all the Ranger jokes, most good players know that having a Ranger around can be the difference between wipe and win.

Does your main character worship a deity? Karana.

How did you choose your main character's name? Random Name Generator. I never intended for Sokko to become my main.

Which classes in EQ have you NOT played? Sokko is the only character I've played past level 35. I have never played a Bard, Beastlord, Bezerker, Druid, Magician, Wizard, Rogue, Monk or Paladin.

What is your favorite expansion? Omens of War. A great expansion with something for everyone.

What is your favorite zone? Eastern Karana. I spent so much time there growing up that it still feels like home. Nobles Causeway was always fun.

What is your favorite npc? Quarm. That bugger is HUGE.

Which expansion do you like the least? On release? Luclin. Was far to laggy for me. Now, LDoN, although I loved it when it came out. I think it was much needed. It just got too dated, too fast. Its a shame too, because it was a fun expansion. It just has very low re-playablility.

Which zone do you like the least? Plane of Water. I HATE fighting under water.

Which npc do you like the least? Terris Thule. Its a personal thing between Sokko and Thule.

What is the most platinum you have ever spent on purchasing a single item for one of your characters? Around 200k.

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? I pretty much have no qualms about giving away or selling anything I no longer use. I play on FV, so there is very little I cant pass on.

What do you like best about EverQuest? The community. My friends, My guild, My server, My fellow Rangers at EQOutrider, all the folks who run and contribute to the fan sites, the Dev team... all of us. They all make Norrath a place that is still fun to visit.

What do you get out of playing EverQuest? Escape.

Describe your best experience from playing EverQuest? Anytime an encounter is finally won. Helping the guild and friends progress through Norrath.

Do you run or work for an EverQuest Fan Site? I was a Mod and then Admin at EQRangers. Currently, I am a mod for EQOutriders, the best website for all things Rangerly: http://eqoutrider.net
